Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but it’s also important to prioritize and maintain healthy skin. The summer can also be very challenging due to increased sun exposure, heat, and humidity. Here are five essentials to help keep your skin healthy during the summer months:
1. Sunscreen:
- SPF 30 or Higher: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect against both UVA and UVB rays like Black Girl Sunscreen in the June Box.
- Shop the May Box with belif Aqua Bomb Sunscreen SPF 45
- Water-Resistant: If you're swimming or sweating, a water-resistant sunscreen is essential.
- Reapply Regularly: Reapply every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating.
- Drink Plenty of Water: Aim for at least 8 glasses a day to keep your skin hydrated from within.
- Hydrating Mist: A facial mist can refresh and hydrate your skin throughout the day.
3. Lightweight Moisturizer:
- Non-Comedogenic: Choose a moisturizer that won't clog pores.
- Gel-Based or Water-Based: These types of moisturizers are lighter and absorb more easily in hot, humid weather.

4. Antioxidant Serum:
- Vitamin C: Helps protect against sun damage and can improve the appearance of sunspots.
- Other Antioxidants: Look for ingredients like green tea, vitamin E, or ferulic acid to provide extra protection against environmental damage.

5. Exfoliation:
- Gentle Exfoliator: Use a gentle exfoliating product once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and keep your skin smooth.
- Avoid Over-Exfoliation: Too much exfoliation can strip your skin of natural oils and lead to irritation.
