Your summer self-care checklist
Whether you're in your own room or outside, you know that the scorching heat in the Philippines is no joke! While summer is the perfect time to soak up the sun, the intense heat can easily leave you feeling worn out. Thus, a little extra care will go a long way. Here are a few must-do’s to keep in mind:
1. Stay hydrated
Hot weather can quickly leave you dehydrated which can affect both your mood and energy. Bring a water flask or bottle and drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration and fatigue.
2. Apply sunscreen (SPF50+ recommended)
Protect your skin from the harmful UV rays. Apply sunscreen with SPF50+ before stepping outside and remember to reapply every 2 hours throughout the day. This simple step can help prevent sunburns and premature skin aging.
Try MAGWAI Reef Safe Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+. Its features include UVA/UVB protection, water and sweat-resistance, and are made with natural ingredients. Plus, it leaves 75% less cast. This is also perfect for everyday use!
3. Don’t forget these wardrobe essentials
Add a small touch to your summer fit with a hat, sunglasses or a cover-up. These accessories combine sun protection with style. For swim days, a rash guard is the simplest way to look after your skin from sunburn and salt water while enjoying every moment.
4. Pamper your sun-kissed skin
Whether you spent your day sunbathing or enjoying summer activities, your skin deserves a treat.
