TIPS FROM A SKIN CARE PROFESSIONAL
As I sat down with Carolyn, she graciously shared her expert insights on maintaining a healthy skin regimen throughout the summer season. Here are some of her top tips:
HYDRATION IS KEY
Carolyn emphasized the importance of staying hydrated during the summer months. Drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day not only helps flush out toxins but also keeps your skin plump and supple. She recommended infusing water with fresh fruits or herbs for a refreshing twist.
SHIELD YOURSELF FROM THE SUN
While soaking up the sun can be delightful, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial. Carolyn stressed the significance of using broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapplying it every two hours, especially during peak sun hours. Wearing wide-brimmed hats and lightweight, protective clothing can also help shield your skin from the sun’s rays.
EMBRACE NATURAL INGRIDIENTS
Wild and Free Holistic Spa takes pride in using organic and natural products in their treatments. Carolyn highlighted the importance of avoiding harsh chemicals and opting for gentle, plant-based skincare. Ingredients such as aloe vera, chamomile, and cucumber can soothe and rejuvenate sun-exposed skin.
POST-SUN CARE RITUALS

After spending time in the sun, Carolyn recommended treating your skin to some extra TLC. She suggested using aloe vera gel or a hydrating mask to replenish moisture and calm any sunburned areas. Additionally, incorporating a rich, nourishing moisturizer into your morning and evening skincare routine can help repair and rejuvenate the skin while you sleep.
