Hooray..summer is here!!

As we struggled through all the cold and rainy days of spring, we longed for the warm and sunny days of summer! Well those days are here...90 degrees, baking sun and that wonderful feeling when you jump in the pool!! So I just want to remind everyone that extra care is necessary during our wonderful summer days: hair, skin,nails..the heat and sun can take their toll if we don't pay attention.
This is the best time to have a facial and learn how to care for your "summer skin". I know how good that first sun feels and before you know it, your skin is golden and parched :-) Unfortunately as good as the sun feels, it is equally hard on aging skin(which we all have).
Check out your nails. This is a great time to have some fun colors and some nail art; but it is more than that because your hands and feet need care too. Because we are wearing sandals, our feet have much more exposure to the elements...that means skin dries out faster and our need for good moisturizing lotions and cremes increases!!
I love summer, I love the feeling of warmth on my face and the fun of summer activities. I just need to remember that my skin loves the feeling of warmth and it also needs the feeling of cleansing, moisturizing and careful monitoring. I met a man recently who is undergoing treatment to "fix" the sun damage that he got while sailing every summer; it is much easier to do prevention than it is to endure "fixing".
We at Wild Clover have always focused on health and wellness in addition to beauty. We carry only the finest products that have been developed with health and wellness in mind. Take care of yourself..we only go around once and the old adage " an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" really is true!!
Take good care...and still have fun and enjoy the "lazy hazy crazy days of summer".
