School is out and summer is in! It's time for friends, BBQ's, movies- and hot weather! During the hottest season of the year, less is more including makeup, so it is important to keep your skin healthy and clear. Here are some helpful tips to keep things simple:

• The perfect clean: Cleanse your skin two times a day. No more, no less. Over cleansing can strip your skin and actually cause breakouts, but cleansing twice a day will ensure that you have properly removed sweat, dirt, and excess oil.
• Not enough moisture = lots of oil: Your skin creates more oil if it doesn't have enough water or moisture. Using a moisturizer will help protect your skin from dehydrating during the summer months. Also, keeping up with your daily 6-8 glasses a day of drinking water will help.
• Sunscreen in king: Did you know that sun damage is the number one cause of aging? Most importantly it can cause cancer, so don't forget the sunscreen! If you know you will be in the sun for a long period of time use an SPF of 30 or higher, but it is still important to use an everyday sunscreen no matter where you will be.
