After a summer of sunshine and days spent in and out of the water your skin maybe feeling a little dry and in need of some pampering. For great looking skin this summer, make sure you follow a few simple steps.

Keep your skin clean: Your skin needs cleaning but be careful to follow these pointers to prevent your skin drying out.

Wash your skin gently, using mild soaps or body washes that provide added oils and fats, perfect for after sun care. Limit the time you spend under the shower or in the bath. Hot water and long showers and baths remove essential oils and dry out your skin.Pat your skin dry rather than rub it with a towel, this helps to keep some moisture on the skin.

Keep your skin moisturised: The best thing you can do for your skin in the summer is keep it moisturised. This will help your body to retain your natural moisture levels by providing a seal over your skin. The type of moisturiser best suited to you will depend on your skin type, your age and any specific skin conditions you may have. During the day use a moisturiser that contains an SPF of at least 15.

For sensitive skin look for products free of perfumes, additives and dyes. For dry skin applying a body oil directly onto the skin while your body is still moist can help. The oil helps to prevent moisture evaporating from your skin.For oily skin you may choose to avoid moisturising altogether or choose a moisturiser specifically suited to your skin type.
