To keep your skin glowing and healthy during the summer, it's essential to follow a few key tips. First and foremost, protect your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen daily with an SPF of 30 or higher. Keeping your skin hydrated is also crucial; apply a moisturizer both morning and night, and consider adding a hydrating mist throughout the day to refresh and cool your skin. Regular exfoliation is another important step, as it helps remove sweat and dead skin cells that can clog pores, ensuring your skin remains clear and radiant. Incorporating these practices into your routine will help maintain your skin's health and vibrancy all summer long.
