Summer is the season to kick back, relax and enjoy being outside. And with more exposure to the elements, it’s important to take care of your skin. Here are a few nutrients and product recommendations to consider adding to your summer skincare routine.
Vitamin C
Did you know that vitamin C plays an important role in protecting your skin? Its antioxidant properties can neutralize free radicals from ultraviolet (UV) rays in the skin. It is also necessary for collagen production and maintenance. As we age, vitamin C levels naturally decline. One product that can help keep your skin healthy and strong is MyChelle’s Perfect C Pro Serum 25%, concentrated with Vitamin C. Use one pump a day on clean, damp skin, followed by a moisturizer and sunscreen. Research shows that topical application of vitamin C may result in greater skin protection than oral supplementation.

Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is used for a host of purposes, most commonly skincare, sunburn and wound healing. DeVita Natural Skincare has harnessed the power of aloe in a line of products, including aloe-infused sunscreens. DeVita Solar Body Moisturizer is a naturally sourced mineral SPF 30+ mineral sunscreen with aloe that is 100 percent vegan, fragrance-free and reef friendly. Aloe’s high water content is moisturizing and rejuvenating. It also contains a plethora of antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamin C, that can help firm your skin.

Argan Oil
Hailing from Morocco, organic argan oil, which is high in moisturizing oleic and linoleic fatty acids, is a key ingredient in this natural, innovative gel for both washing and shaving for women and men. Free of sulfates and parabens, the gel also hosts Vitamins B, C and E to nourish the skin and protect it from free radicals and is gentle enough for all skin types.
