We’ve had a great spell of sunshine over the last few weeks and with the weather forecasters appearing confident the summer is here to stay for a while at least, it is time we turned our attention to our skin.
The hot sun, increased sweating opportunities and air conditioned workplaces all take their toll on your skin so here are our 3 steps to skin salvation with the help of the Medik8 range of skincare products.
STEP 1
Hide those unsightly thread veins and bruises.
Summer is here. That can only mean your bare legs have to be on show at some point – after all for what other reason did you buy that summer dress or pair of shorts? Baring the legs can be daunting if you are worried about thread veins, bruises or areas of redness. Thankfully, there is a great saviour in the form of Medik8 Calmwise Serum. This skincare product contains vitamin K2, Licochalcone A and numerous botanical extracts which strengthen and protect fragile tissue such as veins and broken capillaries. Medik8 Calmwise Serum also slows down skin ageing by protecting it from free radical damage.
STEP 2
Protect the skin from exposure to sunlight
Did you know that sunlight, smoke and other air pollutants can accelerate the skin ageing process? With no barrier to these pollutants you may end up looking older than your years. That’s why Medik8 have developed their Firewall product to protect the skin from these causes of ageing and deliver a brighter, more youthful appearance. Medik8 Firewall neutralises a wide range of damaging free radicals and can prevent the skin from further damage.
Whilst this product is great at protecting the skin from sunlight exposure we also recommend that you use Medik8 Advanced Day Total Protect after applying Firewall so as to maximise your skin protection.
STEP 3
Hydrate tired skin and soothe sunburn
We all know too much exposure to the sun is bad for our skin but sometimes we forget to re-apply sunscreen or stay out longer than we should in the heat of the midday sun. The result is sunburn which leaves our skin hot, sore and uncomfortable. One product which can ease this discomfort is Medik8 Nourishing Body Cream, which is made with a combination of shea and cocoa butters to nourish the epidermis and protect the skin from dehydration.
Medik8 Nourishing Body Cream is very helpful in relieving the effects of sunburn as its unique Moisture Magnet locks in water rather than simply dampening the cells as most ordinary moisturisers do. You can apply this product after exposure to the sun and it also works well as a daily moisturiser if you work in an air conditioned environment.
These are by no means the only three products you’ll need this summer and we have a great range of other top brands to choose from so if you need help saving your skin please get in touch with our skincare consultants on 01564 824 114.
