Skin care on the beach
Before hydrating the skin, it is advisable to clean it well to remove salt and other residues. The best way to do this is to use body and facial scrubs at least once a week , as they remove impurities and dead skin cells. In this way, they allow better absorption of moisturizing creams and lotions. Exfoliate your skin during the shower with warm water to naturally relax and moisturize the body.
For skin care after a day at the beach, it is essential to apply body moisturizer all over the body to avoid dryness. It is also recommended to use one that contains elastin as well as collagen, since the sun destroys these components and our body needs to produce them again. Thus, you will also combat premature aging.
