Moisturizer has truly become a part of our daily lives, where using a basit but also good quality moisturizers is now engraved in our subconscious routine. At the same time it has become essential, and using of the same comforting. Moisturizer is something we apply on the daily, even few times a day even without thinking.
Basically these NIVEAS of the world our initial beauty routine and are pretty much the basic. But while these creams are our essential fallback option they can’t do much more than that. To step up the game it is time to move on to the more active formulas. In battling the deep lines and wrinkles or even hyper-pigmentation the basic moisturizer wont do much. Enters the world sof hyaluronic acid, retonic acis to the ever wanted antioxidants. Most of these products repair damaged skin and allow our new skin cells to thrive.
FRESH FACE COMES WITH A SCRUB
Since in the summer months the bright sunlight is playing against your skin, you may want to change up your skin routine to ensure that your skin is well moisturized and has a healthy glow. Exfoliating your skin with a scrub made from coconut oil, salt, sugar and honey is a great way to get rid of dead skin cells, and can be used all over the body. You may also want to invest in a quality retinol cream to maintain a youthful look and get rid of blemishes, so you’ll feel confident on the days when you want to wear minimal makeup.

LUSCIOUS LIPS AND SUNSCREEN
Moisturizing your lips daily during the spring can prevent peeling and dryness. After using a scrub made of almond oil, brown sugar and agave syrup on your lips to get rid of dead skin and smooth the surface of your lips, you can lock in the moisture with EOS lip balm. Lip balms from EOS are available in flavors like pomegranate, passion fruit and vanilla are available. The products also contain vitamins A and E and shea butter to improve the health of your lips.
Even if you slather on the dermatologist recommended bucket of sunscreen daily and tirelessly reapply every couple of hours, most likely, you’re still not protecting your skin as well as you should from the sun’s damaging UV rays. According to Margaret Brown Tanzi, London based dermatologist, and associate clinical professor in the department of dermatology at London Medical Centre, the primary area of the body people tend to save on sunscreen is, shockingly, the lips. “People forget to protect their lips,” notes Brown. “Skin cancer in this area can be particularly dangerous, which is why its important to get lip balm with SPF.”

HEALTHY HAIR
It’s essential to have great looking hair in spring, since you’ll likely be outdoors more often. Rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar can help preserve your color or highlights, and removes dandruff from the scalp. You can also create a hair mask from shea butter and olive oil to get rid of frizziness. Spring is also a great time to get a new haircut or simply get your ends trimmed so that your hair is neat and fashionable.
We all know that conditioner is integral when it comes to giving your hair the kind of moisture it needs to thrive. However is conditioner alone enough when you’re trying to nurse your damaged hair back to health?

According to New York City dermatologist Kathleen Bailey that is hardly the case. While conditioning is a very important part of maintaining hair health, she says it’s not wise to avoid shampooing altogether. “Shampooing cleans and removes dead skin, oil and buildup. The key is using a shampoo that is formulated for both scalp and hair and contains nourishing ingredients.” This is especially important for people who also struggle with dandruff, as shampoo helps keep flakes in check “by ridding the buildup of yeast, which are a big factor in dandruff.”
These tips will make spring an even more enjoyable season for you, but of course, you can use them all your round to continue looking your best.
