I think that was the shortest winter we ever experienced! And once again here we are dreading the hot weather. We might not be hitting north of 40 degrees yet, but the weather is definitely getting warmer, and the temperatures are beginning to rise (fast) on this side of the Sahara. Impending trips to the beach and lazy days lounging poolside mean your body, and more so your skin needs taking care to ensure you maintain that soft, supple skin that we all crave, and that’s why we are bringing you some simple yet effective warm weather skin care tips.

It is important to remember that UV rays can harm your skin year-round, even if the sun isn’t shining or the sky is cloudy and foggy. You are still at risk of sunburn and skin damage. That’s why using an SPF all year round is highly recommended – and so is looking after your skin post-sun exposure too.

To help you keep that skin in tip-top shape, the nice folks from Bio-Oil stepped into The Beautiful Lifestyle Online to share their go-to warm weather skin care tips on how to treat sun-kissed skin with the help of its three, iconic products… yeah, we love us some Bio-Oil.

Warm Weather Skin Care Tips

Soothe and revitalize

Applying Bio-Oil Skincare Oil to the skin that has had too much sun will help soothe and revitalize skin. Sun damage is one of the main causes of dry skin, wrinkles, and roughness which is why it is vital to treat any skin which has been in the sun as soon as possible. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil is packed with Vitamins A and E which work with the skin to promote cell regeneration, while Skincare Oil (Natural) is made with essential oils such as lavender oil, chamomile oil, calendula oil, and rosemary oil, which invigorate and condition the skin.

Treat sunspots

Bio-Oil Skincare Oil is well-known for its ability to lighten scars and stretch marks, however, the powerful elixir is also effective at treating hyperpigmentation (dark spots) on the face caused by ultraviolet (UV) and sun exposure. The oil’s vitamin A content helps to exfoliate the skin and encourage new skin cells to form, while vitamin E reduces the appearance of scars.

Calm and reduce redness

Irritation and redness caused by heat will be soothed by the anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile oil in Bio-Oil Skincare Oil which reduces redness, and rosemary oil which soothes skin. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Natural) is also safe to use all over the face, due to the fact that it is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, whilst the high vitamin A content will benefit skin cells.
