Chasing glowing skin that you can feel confident and proud to be showing off all summer, but finding that all the products you try are lackluster? We’ve all been there, sis. That’s where Simply Bare comes in. With just three easy steps you can achieve the glowing skin you’ve been dreaming of, just in time for summer.
Exfoliate
Your first step towards glowing? Exfoliation. Wiping away that dead, dull skin lets your beautiful body shine.
There’s a few different ways you can exfoliate:
-
Body Scrub: rub in gentle circles during your shower and rinse thoroughly to cleanse skin
-
Dry Bristle Brush: to be used on dry skin to brush off dead skin cells and unclog pores
-
African Exfoliating Net: to be used with or without body wash in the shower to exfoliate
Incorporating one of these exfoliation tools into your self-care routine can be the difference between drab and sparking skin. Experiment and see what works best for you and your needs. A combination of tools could also be your key to success.
Exfoliating your skin is a great practice year round. It improves your skin texture, combats body acne and ingrown hairs, and allows your skin to be more hydrated. By exfoliating your skin, you allow body butters and oils to sink in deeper, creating more moisture in the skin. The best part is exfoliation is not a daily task. Exfoliating once or twice a week will keep your skin fresh without irritating it.
Hydrate
Hydrating products are about to be your new best friend. Your skin needs moisture in order to glow, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Body oils and body butters work together to feed your skin what it’s craving, and come in all sorts of scents to match your vibe.
After your exfoliation step is when body butter can be used to lock in moisture, but body oil should be used as needed to prevent your skin from becoming too dry. Keep a cute little bottle of it in your purse for easy on-the-go application. Scented body oils can also double as perfume to keep you feeling and smelling good all while keeping your skin soft.
Keeping your skin hydrated is essential to catching that glow. It can be hard to keep up on at first, but once that moisture is locked in, there’s no way to go but up. Find the products that work best for you– whether it be body butter, body oil, rose oil or a mix of multiple products to feel the glow.
Protect
When it comes to your skin, nothing is more important than protecting it. While applying SPF is a great way to keep your skin safe, protection can manifest itself in some unexpected ways:
-
Rest: your skin needs time to regenerate and repair skin cells
-
Hydration: hydrate yourself from the outside in by drinking enough water each day
-
Stay Calm: when you’re agitated, so is your skin
-
Food: eating berries, nuts, and leafy greens can assist in damage prevention
-
Materials: opting for silk or satin bedding can help protect your skin and your hair
Protecting your skin is the key to maintaining your glow. Getting too dried out, burned, or agitated can dull your sparkle and set you back a couple steps on your way to shining. Keep yourself protected inside and out this summer for a natural glow.
Silk and satin not only feel luxurious, but your skin and hair will thank you too! Silk pillowcases and bonnets protect your hair from frizz and breakage. These materials support moisture retention and aid in regulating your body temperature. Choosing silk or satin bedding will help you stay protected– stylishly.
