• Stay hydrated. It is easy to get dehydrated when the tem- peratures soar and the sweat starts to pour, so make sure you drink lots of water. Carry a water bottle with you, and drink before you feel thirsty. You can also carry a small spray bottle to apply cool water throughout the day. • Treat yourself to a home- made facial. From banana to oatmeal, you have the makings of a homemade facial mask right in your pantry, so treat yourself to an inexpensive and effective beauty treatment. The summer season is a won- derful time of year, filled with beach trips, long car rides and lots of fun, but the summer heat can really take a toll on your skin. So be sure to take the proper measures this summer to prevent skin damage and help you make the most of your exist- ing beauty regimen. ^ 46 RIVER REGION LIVING www.riverregionliving.com The Bella Experience The summer season is a wonderful time of year, filled with beach trips, long car rides and lots of fun, but the summer heat can really take a toll on your skin. So be sure to take the proper measures this summer to prevent skin damage and help you make the most of your existing beauty regimen. At Bella, in the Peppertree Shopping Center, they offer many procedures to keep your skin in tip top shape. “All of our treatments are customized to each individual after their skin has been thoroughly analyzed,” says John Moorer, expert aesthetician at Bella. “If the client's skin is dry for the elements, exfoliation is key in removing dead surface skin followed by products which will hydrate the skin. I recommend SkinCeutical’s Hydrating B5 Gel and the B5 Gel Mask. Having a skincare regimen and being consistent is key to proper care. A vitamin C product such as SkinCeuatical’s CE Ferulic will give your skin a youthful radiant glow. Hopefully you can avoid the pitfalls of too much sun by taking the necessary precautions before you step out into the elements. CE Ferulic and broad-spectrum sunscreen is a great place to start. Remember an ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure.” For more information, contact John Moorer at Bella 334.272.8116.
