It's summer! While the first official day of the summer season is not until June 21st, my "real" summer started a long time ago. For us college students, the last class day was over a month ago and grade schools all over are closing for summer break in the next week or two! If the end of the spring semester is not indication enough, this Texas heat is all the proof I need.
Speaking of the heat, there are so many things that need to be taken care of before we dive completely into our summer activities. One major thing: awesome skin care.
It's so funny to see my friends' reactions when I tell them that I'm going "tanning". Being a darker-skinned girl, they get confused wondering why I need to "tan". But what I mean - and I guess what I should say - is that I'm going to soak up the Sun. I love spending time in the Sun because of what it does to my skin. I'm pretty sure you've heard of the "glow" that every woman desires. Well, you can get a natural one by simply spending time outside! The Sun provides us with natural vitamins and nutrients that keep our skin sparkling.
However, whenever you talk about the Sun, there are dangers involved such as sun burns, skin discolorations, and risk for skin cancer. So, take care of yourself! No matter what skin shade you have - WEAR SUNSCREEN! You won't regret it - at all. Also, don't forget to DRINK LOTS OF WATER so your skin stays smooth and glowing. Otherwise, you're going get dehydrated and your skin is gonna leather-up --> not cute.
Have lots of fun in the Sun this summer and be safe! :)
Jewel's Random TidBits - Since our skin needs sunscreen, I always wondered if our hair needed it as well and if hair sunscreen products existed. Yes it does and yes they do! Just type 'hair sunscreen' into any search engine and you'll see!
