Our skin is used to going through weather changes constantly, but to protect it we will have to match our skin care routine to the temperature outside. For example, when the summer turns into a scorcher, you want to eliminate harsh scrubs that will expose your skin to way too much sunlight. But in the winter, not to worry. Of course, there’s also the SPF necessity. Some of us bypass this in other seasons (you shouldn’t) but come summer you mustn’t forget. Read on to learn the 5 commandments on how to maintain flawless skin throughout the summer months.
