Skincare is most likely on your mind right now after spring break travels. If you have been in the mountains or on the beach, your skin probably needs a break and a little R&R. We have the skincare guide you need right now to get your complexion back in its best condition. Just as important, Kathy advises to prepare your skin for those summer months ahead, and make sure your skincare routine is on point with the best exfoliants, neck wrinkle creams and scrubs so your skin is healthy and glowing all year long.

Exfoliate

Exfoliation is key after a trip. This step gets rid of all the dead skin and makes way for new cells to regenerate and replenish so that your skin will look as naturally glowy as possible.

KF Tip ~ Don’t forget about your lips. Weekly or biweekly lip scrubs will work wonders in order to make sure every part of your face is smooth and dead skin free.

Protect

Sunscreen

Moisturizer and sunscreen may be tied for the two most important skincare items. Sunscreen is so important regardless if you’re spending time at the beach or if you’re taking a short stroll. This protects against aging, sunspots and damage that is irreversible.

This is perfect for on the go touchups or just simply applying it before your makeup. (It’s also great for kids, simple and easy to apply.) It also contains coco and shea butter to moisturize your skin.

KF tip ~ don’t forget your neck, chest, and hands.

Bodycare

Glowing skin on your face is a must, but don’t forget the rest of your body. Skincare starts at the top of your head and goes all the way to your feet. Here are some of KF’s tips for beautiful skin, and since we have seen hers, we are taking the advice.

Hydrate from the inside out

Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water is so important for your entire body and especially important for your skin. Read about all the incredible benefits of H20 here.

KF Tip ~ Still vs. Sparkling Water: If you want to hydrate but aren’t the biggest fan of still water switch to sparkling for a few drinks. Although there are rumors that sparkling isn’t as beneficial as still this isn’t entirely true. Sparkling water is still water just carbonated! Just make sure you are getting pure carbonated water without added sodium, flavors, and sugar. If you want an extra burst of flavor add your favorite citrus fruit for a natural sweetener.

Exfoliate

Farmhouse Fresh Body Scrubs

Exfoliating the rest of your body is just as important as exfoliating your face. Check out some of Kathy’s favorite body scrubs by Farmhouse Fresh here.

Moisturize

Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion
