The Best K-Beauty Products For Summer

One Of The Best Things About Living In Australia (Apart From Meat Pies And Sausage Rolls, Of Course!) Is The Endless Aussie Summer.

When It Comes To Great Climates, Australia Has It Made. However, One Thing That Doesn’t Always Welcome Summer Is Our Skin. With Skin Cancer On The Rise In Australia, Including Among Young Aussies, It’s More Important Than Ever To Make Sure We Take Care Of Our Skin In Summer.

Today on the SS Blog, we’re taking a look at some of the best K-Beauty products for summer, as well the summer skin tips that’ll get you glowing, Down Under

Slip, Slop, Slap

Although it should go without saying as all Aussies need to apply sunscreen every day, take special precaution in the summer. Opt for at least SPF 30+ sunscreen, preferably a SPF 50+ (as these are almost twice as protective as SPF 30 sunscreens).

Get Peeling

Cracked heels, calluses and dry feet are nobody’s idea of #goals.

Get your feet ready for the beach with APLB Intensive Moisture Healing Foot Cream.This works to gently soften dry, dead skin on your feet. It is painless, easy to use and guarantees gorgeous tootsies – no trip to the spa necessary! 

Double Cleanse

Once you’re done at the beach or pool make sure you wash your face as soon as you get out of the salty or chlorinated water, as both can be drying and irritating for the skin. You’ll also want to make sure you get rid of any excess sunscreen before you go to bed at night.

Try Subi Bare Skin Balm as your first cleanser, and follow up with Subi's Powder Wash. These two will guarantee clean skin, without leaving your skin dry or taut.

Exfoliate

Keep summer skin buff, polished and glowing and help prevent clogged pores by exfoliating once or twice a week. Don’t only scrub your face but give your whole body a buff! Exfoliating will help prevent ingrown hairs and also increases circulation.

STYLE STORY recommends Jelly Ko Cinnamon Toast Sugar Scrub Foam.And yes, it really *does* smell just like cinnamon toast. 

Moisturise

Spending too much time in the surf or salty pool water will dry your skin out, so make sure you apply a good moisturiser afterwards. Opt for something light so you don’t clog pores. STYLE STORY loves Laneige Radian-C Cream as a lightweight layer that also targets sun spots. 

If you're after a more intensive treatment, then try Jelly Ko's Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask. Simply pop it on 30 minutes before bed and wake up to visibly bouncy, soft glowing skin. 

Mist Away

To prevent skin getting oily and to help set your makeup in summer, try a mist spray like d’Alba Piedmont First Spray Serum.

Mists have the added benefit of cooling and hydrating your skin, and are also portable and lightweight enough to pack in your bag.

Other Aussie Summer Essentials Include Water, Fresh Summer Fruits And Plenty Of Exercise. If You’re Into Tanning Don’t Forget To Fake It, As There Is No Such Thing As A Safe Tan!
