Secrets
Skin is the largest organ in the
body and it’s important to protect
and care for it in order to keep it
looking healthy and vibrant. Daily
exposure to elements such as low
humidity, harsh winds, ultraviolet
rays, even your laundry detergent
and makeup can take their toll,
resulting in dry or irritated skin.
Properly caring for your skin
means more than simply washing
your face twice a day. Moisture,
exfoliation and diet also play key
roles in your skin’s overall wellbeing. Following these simple tips
will help you achieve an all-over
healthy glow:
Healthy Living
• Adopt healthy lifestyle changes
that reap rewards for your entire
body, skin included. Drink plenty
of water, get adequate sleep, practice stress management, take a
daily multivitamin and eat a wellbalanced diet.
• Be sure to use sunscreen when
outdoors to protect skin from the
sun’s damaging rays and slow
down the development of premature aging. Remember to apply
sunscreen every day, even when
it’s overcast, and reapply regularly
if you’ll be in the water or active
and sweaty.
Spa-like Indulgence
• Take a note from the pros and
without the harmful impact of the
sun’s rays, rely on a moisturizing
self-tanner lotion or spray.

and moisturizer appropriate for
your skin type for a fresh, wellhydrated face.
In the Shower

• Avoid long showers, especially
with hot water, which dries out
skin. Lukewarm water is best for

face, a slightly cooler rinse can help
close pores after cleansing, but
avoid outright cold water, as it also
can have a drying effect.
• Use a moisture-rich body wash
such as Softsoap Coconut Island
Quench enriched with coconut oil.
This moisturizing formula will
leave skin feeling soft and smooth.
• Use a loofah sponge in the show-
er to gently exfoliate dead skin. To
prevent unnecessary exposure to
bacteria that could irritate your
skin, be sure to replace your loofah
every month.
