How to take care of your skin this summer!

Here's how to care for your skin during the summer time! ☀️

1. Wash your face daily to remove excess oils
2. Keep your skin HYDRATED!
3. Use an antioxidant such as Vitamin C with Ferulic Acid
4. Wear your sunscreen daily (even if you're not in direct sunlight)
5. Wear sunglasses and a hat to shield your face from the sun 
6. Avoid wearing heavy make-up (it prevents your skin from breathing)
