Whenever we hear the word summer, heading to the beach is pretty much the first thing that comes into mind. But before you book that trip to El Nido or Boracay, here’s a gentle reminder: this is no season for your skin care to take a back seat. You’ll be spending lots of time exposed to the scorching heat and every minute you’re out sunbathing or swimming will take its toll on your skin. Using a protective sunscreen is already a given, but another thing you need to pay attention to is regular exfoliation in the shower at least once every week. This is to slough off your dead skin and unveil a softer, smoother complexion.
To aid your parched skin this summer, below are some luxurious body scrubs to include in your shopping list!
