Top Ways to Prep Your Skin for Summer

As the seasons change so does your skin and therefore your skincare routine should change as well.  There are easy ways to make your skin glow for summer.   Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center is a leading medical spa in Orlando and is sharing top ways to prep your skin for summer.
#1 Stock up on the appropriate sunscreen.  What type of sunscreen you use matters! You can not just throw on a  watered down 5 year old sunscreen from the closet on your face and expect it to not clog your pores and be effective.  Always check the expiration date on your sunscreen.  It is important to choose sun protection that is full broad spectrum UVA/UVB and a minimum SPF 30-mineral sunscreen for the face is best so that it will not clog your pores.  Apply SPF 30 minutes before sun exposure.  For everyday facial SPF we love Skinmedica Daily Physical Defense® Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30+.
#2 Exfoliate: Exfoliation is extremely beneficial especially during summer.  It gives increased circulation and eliminates old dead skin cells so that your skin will look healthier and have a glow.  For a professional exfoliation chemical peels are a great solution.  For at home exfoliation we love Skinmedica Skin Polisher and Skinmedica AHA/BHA Exfoliation Cleanser.
#3 Injectable fillers and Botox can give some great instant results.  These treatments are not photo-sensitive so you don't have to monitor sun exposure before and after treatment.  Fillers such as Juvederm Voluma XC can give your face an instant liquid face-lift.  Botox cosmetic can make your forehead and crows feet wrinkles diminish for a smooth look in summer pictures.
