Summer is officially over, its time to wipe the tears and focus on getting ready for the Fall and Winter months. If you are like us, you probably spent countless hours sunbathing at the beach or by the pool. Even though we were able to get an amazing tan, we caused plenty of skin damage to our face! In order to reverse the sun damage, we need a plan in place to make sure that our face stays healthy and wrinkle-free! 

Urban Milan's Post-Summer Skin Plan: 
  • Use a Daily Serum to protect and nourish your skin. We recommend Nassif MD's Clock AM Defense Serum which helps to shield against causes of premature aging and boosts hydration. For those that have dark spots try Murad's Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum, it helps to fade away freckles and dark spots while exfoliating to remove dead skin cells. 
  • Always use a SPF 30 Sunscreen during the day. We recommend Cotz Face Sunscreen SPF 40, it is a mineral sunscreen that is free of oils, fragrances and parabens and it provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum sun protection while minimizing shine.  
  • Apply a Daily Moisturizer to keep your face hydrated. We recommend Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. This light-textured cream keeps your skin smooth, healthy and hydrated throughout the day. 
  • Cleanse your skin to remove make-up and other impurities. We recommend Nassif MD's Dawn to Dusk. This foaming cleanser instantly rids the skin of dead cells and surface impurities, a small amount goes a long way!
  • Use a Night Moisturizing Cream. We recommend using Murad's Essential-C Night Moisture, it uses Shea Butter to keep your skin supple and smooth. It also has Vitamins A, C and E to encourage cell turnover to keep your skin looking firm and toned.  
  • Use a treatment mask once or twice a week to help exfoliate your skin. We recommend using Murad's Intensive-C Radiance Peel which exfoliates your skin to remove damaged skin cells and improves skin texture. It also contains Vitamin C and Indian fig to enhance skin clarity and luminosity. We also recommend Hada Laba's Ultimate Anti-Aging Facial Mask which is a 100% cotton mask that drenches the skin with serum. It only takes 15 minutes to use and provides anti-aging benefits that instantly hydrates and radiates skin after one use. 
  • Drink plenty of water! For those of you that get bored of drinking regular water, check out Agua Fruit Essence zero-calorie flavored water that comes in delicious flavors like Grape + Watermelon!

We hope that our recommendations will help you stay hydrated and looking your best!
