Summer essentials: your must-have care products

Moisturizing, exfoliation, protection… the time has come to store away your heavy coats and get ready for summer! Here are the essential products you’ll need to care for your body before summer.

Moisturizing your skin

Why you need to do this…

Winter temperatures and cold winds can irritate your skin. But summer weather dehydrates your skin more quickly. So, to prevent your skin from drying out, you’ll want to care for it with a good moisturizer.

How it works…

Right after your bath or shower, apply your favourite moisturizing cream or mist to your entire body. It’s important to do it while your pores are still dilated from the heat and humidity, so that your body absorbs as much of the product as possible.

When to use it…

Every day.

Exfoliating your skin

Why you need to do this…

Exfoliating will help make your skin silky smooth before summer. Plus, removing dead skin cells not only helps your skin breathe more easily, it also helps create a smoother, more even tan.

How it works…

There are several exfoliation choices available.

  1. An exfoliating gel: this product is for use in the shower. Simply take a small amount of gel and rub it on your skin in a circular motion. Once the exfoliation is complete, rinse the exfoliant off with warm water.
  2. An exfoliating glove: just like the gel, the glove is meant to be used in the shower. Simply rub your arms and legs from bottom to top, and elsewhere on the body using a circular motion. Then rinse with warm water and you're done!

When to use it…

Once or twice a week.

Protecting your skin

Why you need to do this…

UV rays can dry out your skin, accelerate aging and cause a loss of elasticity.
So, it’s vital that you protect your skin year-round, not just in summer.

How to do it…

Always apply a good sunscreen at least 15 minutes before you go out into the sun. Use one for your body and another, designed specifically for your face. You can also use a foundation or a moisturizer that has solar protection built into its formula.
When to use it…
Before you go out into the sun.

This high-performance, lightweight moisturizing formula also helps to replenish the skin's moisture barrier.

Protecting your hair

Why you need to do this…

Just like your skin, the sun can dry out your hair considerably. In fact, the damage can be quite noticeable. So, to keep your hair healthy and beautiful, it’s essential that you use proper protection.

How it works…

To protect your hair all summer long, apply a protective oil before you go out in the sun.
Then, when you’re cleaning your hair, do it gently, using a moisturizing, nourishing shampoo and conditioner.

Protecting your hair

When to use it…

Apply a protector before you go out in the sun and care for your hair after each wash.

Caring for your feet

Why you need to do this…

Our feet are cooped up all winter long, so they’re not used to summer conditions.
Sun, hot sand, sea salt... It’s always best to prepare your feet before you step into summer.

How it works…

Using a deep moisturizer is a great way to pamper your feet before the arrival of summer. Try using a foot mask that you can leave on for about ten minutes, just like a face mask.

However, if you’re looking for a home-made option, try applying a moisturizing cream to your feet late in the evening and wear socks to bed to help lock in the moisture. In the morning, your feet will feel much softer and smoother.

When to use it…

Every time your feet feel like they need moisturizing.

Caring for your feet

Psst! Give your feet a makeover with a touch of nail polish! Simply apply two or three coats of your favourite summer shade, then use a protective polish to keep them looking great.
