5 Training Tips For Running Moms

five tips for summer skincare

June 11, 2021      13 Comments

Summer skincare in Florida needs to be taken extra seriously. With the sun out from 6:00AM to 8:30PM, there’s really no escaping the heat and UV rays. It’s never fun to dry out or burn, so we’re going to go over the best tips to keep the largest organ of our bodies happy and healthy though the next few months.

Hydrate

Much as I hate to say it, hydration is the first step in effective summer skincare. Drink your water, friends. If you’re like me, and can’t stand H20, use Nuun tablets or infuse your water with fruit or other flavoring. Get it down however you can, because it really is the best way to keep your skin healthy in the heat.

Moisturize

Drinking water is great for the inside out, but summer skincare absolutely relies on lotions and moisturizers. Whether you have prefer a luxury brand cream, or use coconut oil straight from the jar, your thirsty skin will thank you for the TLC.

Protect

Since there’s just no avoiding the sun, we must protect ourselves from it. Our best defenses involve sunscreen, especially on the face, sunglasses, and a hat or visor. The more we can shield ourselves from the bright light, the better off our skin will be. After all, sun damage is notorious for causing discoloration, wrinkles, and even cancerous patches, so it is in our best interest to keep ourselves as safe as possible. (If you do get burned, be sure to load up on the aloe. Keep it in the fridge for extra soothing relief).

Schedule An Appointment With Your Dermatologist

I feel like the older we get, the more doctors and specialists we need to see. Summer is a great time to schedule with your dermatologist to ensure that everything on your skin is how it should be. Early detection is our greatest weapon against things like cancer, so make these visits a priority, for sure.

Treat Yourself

Summer skincare shouldn’t be all work. In fact, you can have some fun and treat yourself with a spa day. If you’re not comfortable visiting a facility, then go ahead and do a home facial or treatment. Splurge on a yummy sugar scrub, use a Vitamin-C infused sheet mask to brighten and open your pores, or even (carefully) do some dermaplaning to shed dry skin cells. Our skin works hard – let’s show it how much we appreciate it!

    thanks for the reminders.

    It’s so easy to let things slide.

    Like you I’m not a water drinker. I have to force myself.

    I always wear make up and lipstick to protect my face and lips from the sun. And I wear a baseball cap to shield my face and scalp. (People forget that you can get sunburned on your scalp where few people put sunscreen)

    Love the mask pic – so cute.

    Great tips! I have to get better with sunscreen! I tan naturally but it doesn’t mean I can skip sunscreen.

    Your sun is a good sport! 😉

    These are great tips Jenn. Honestly I have never been great at skincare and I think I could really use a spa treatment session and maybe even invest in a few products to keep my skin looking a bit more “alive”. My biggest issue is not knowing where to start and wanting to have products without a bunch of unpronounceable ingredients in them. Definitely on my list of things to do in the near future.

    Ugh, I definitely need these reminders because I’m really bad about taking care of my skin! The only one of these I really do consistently is hydrate. I really, really should make a dematologist appointment, but…. we’ll see.
    Thanks for the tips!

    I’ve always had dry and very sensitive skin, so proper skincare has been front and center for most of my life. Cleansing, exfoliating, and lots of moisturizing…as well as protection. It took me awhile to get on the hydration wagon, but the past few years, I’ve done well. The true test was the seven months of Invisalign when I could only drink plain water…and I made it!

    Great tips! I also love using FRE. I actually just went to the dermatologist last week. I missed my appointment last year because of COVID so I was glad to get in and know that everything is ok.

    I’m pretty diligent about my skincare though I could probably still do a better job with the sunscreen. I rely on my moisturizer that has an SPF30 but in the summer months, I can get lazy about sunscreen on my neck and shoulders during a run. Thanks for the reminders!

    Great tips! I am good about hydrating and have been applying sunscreen before going out to run. Yep, I also moisturize everyday. I go to the dermatologist every few years but do agree that the older we get, the more doctors and specialists we see. 🙂

    These are great tips! My skin is always so thirsty for moisture and hydration during the summer so I typically use shea butter since it’s super hydrating.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
