As the weather changes, so does our skin. Summer is filled with fun! It also brings more sweat, humidity, pool days, beach days, and time spent outdoors, which can impact everything from breakouts, to hydration levels, to pigmentation.
Some things you may notice:
- more breakouts from sweat and sunscreen
- darker pigmentation / melasma from heat
- dehydrated skin from sun exposure, travel, or air conditioners
- increased redness, sensitivity, or sunburns
Here are a few staples to make sure you add to your bag to help this summer:
1. SPF - your non-negotiable. It is going to protect your skin from the sun and prevent premature aging, pigmentation, and inflammation that comes from sun exposure.
2. Mixi Mist Hypochlorus Acid Spray - hand sanitizer for the face. It is a gentle as water, and strong as bleach. It is going to kill all that bacteria from sweating outside. This is found naturally in our bodies, making it pregnancy safe and kid safe. You can spray it on cuts and wounds to help heal.
3. Lira PRO Lite Serum - this has Vitamin C to protect your skin from environmental stress, while also brightening the skin helping address any pigmentation that may from sun exposure and heat. It also has soothing ingredients to reduce irritation.
4. Lira BIO Hydra Infusion - this is a hyaluronic acid, helping to pull water into the skin and hydrate, but it also has an ingredient silver ear mushroom, which is 5x more hydrating than hylauronic acid. Make sure to apply a moisturizer after this step to seal in hydration.
5. Mixi Compressed Cleansing Towel - easy to carry, and free of detergent and bacteria, these are individual wrapped disposable towels that you can tuck in your beach or pool bag, and is perfect for traveling. These are great for all skin types, but especially if you are acne prone.
6. Lira Clinical HEALTH Recovery Balm - this is THE ultimate lifesaver if you end up getting sunburnt this summer, or your skin is sensitive and compromised from time out in the sun. This is going to help heal the skin, speed up recovery, and lock in moisture.
Most importantly, enjoy the warm weather, soak up the sunshine, and make memories with those you love most.
A few simple adjustments can make a difference in protecting your skin, preventing any irritation, and maintaining those results you've worked so hard for.
