Redness and broken capillaries can intensify in the warmer months. UV rays and the sun’s heat can cause a rush of blood to the face, which can place stress on the capillary walls. Wear sunscreen every day and use skin care which calms and strengthens the skin. You need to watch what you eat and drink because spicy food and alcohol especially can have the same effect as the sun, leading to redness and broken capillaries.
QUENCH THIRSTY SKIN
Salt or chlorinated water can quickly dehydrate skin, leaving it fragile. Rinse both face and body under the shower after every swim, then moisturize all over. If you are heading back out into the sun, include a fresh application of sun screen.
Exfoliate regularly to slough dry, dead cells and improve the skin’s ability to absorb hydrating creams. Pay attention to elbows, knees and ankles, and the back of upper arms, all of which are prone to rough skin.
RESTORE RADIANCE
If your skin is looking dull, check your diet, as this could be due to a lack of iron. Regular exercise will add luminosity to the skin, but, in the meantime, get plenty of sleep, exfoliate regularly and opt for radiance-enhancing skin care.
