     The long steamy sun kissed days of summer and red-hot sunsets have simmered down. The sun may have left an impression not only on our vacation but also on our skin. Post summer is a great time to lighten age spots, soften and exfoliate rough skin, and to
reverse any sun damage that the skin endured.
     Whether we covered up or not, spots and freckles just seem to muscle their way onto our skin. They may appear on the face, the neck, the décolleté, arms and legs. The best defense to irradiate these spots is a professional strength glycolic acid. You can find professional strength without a prescription in creams or lotions that will help treat discoloration. Be sure to use the right product based on your skin type. A trip to the cosmetic counter is worth an evaluation of your skin type.  
     Exfoliate! Skin is always going to get some dryness and dullness after the summer heat.  When your skin surface is covered with dry dead cells it needs more than a deep hydrating formula moisturizer to make skin feel soft again. It’s so important to exfoliate with a soft salux cloth or a buff puff in order to let the moisturizer absorb into porous skin. Moisturizers should always include a non-irritating uva protection. A high concentration of vitamin C can also help support skin healing and lighten hyperpigmentation.
    Eating matters. While the summer creates seasonal indulgences at bbq’s, frosty drinks, and icy/frozen deserts, its time to start adding more water, water, water and more water! Add lots of veggies, whole foods, and fiber and try to minimize sugar intake. So much of our outside appearance is a byproduct of our systemic health and of course genetics play a role. However we can do our part to give ourselves the best chance to look and feel great.
     The more we maintain our daily diligence and role with the changing seasons; we can make a difference and see great improvements in our skin.
