Summer Ya Di Summer is Here!

Summer is upon us, Chomas! With the sun shining brighter and hotter, it’s time to talk about protecting our skin. Whether you’re heading to the beach, chilling with friends, or just running errands, taking care of your skin in this heat is a must. 

Here’s how you can protect your beautiful skin this summer: 

1. Sunscreen is Your Bestie!

• Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. 
• Apply it 20-30 minutes before stepping out. 
• Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re sweating or swimming. 
• Cover all exposed areas, including your neck, ears, and hands. 

2. Stay Hydrated, Stay Glowing!

• Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. 
• Add fresh fruit slices for extra flavor and vitamins! 

3. Rock a Hat and Sunglasses

• Protect your face and eyes with a wide-brimmed hat and stylish sunglasses. 

4. Choose Lightweight, Breathable Clothing

• Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothes made from natural fabrics like cotton. 

5. Avoid Peak Sun Hours

• Stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 

6. Keep Your Skin Moisturized

• Use a lightweight moisturizer with ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid. 

7. Eat a Skin-Friendly Diet

• Enjoy water-rich foods like watermelon and cucumber. 
• Add healthy fats from nuts and avocados for supple skin. 

8. Don’t Forget Your Lips and Eyes

Use a lip balm with SPF and apply sunscreen carefully around your eyes.
