Marie Claire South Africa — January 2018

SUN’S OUT

If you’re spending the day outdoors, you need to ensure your

skin is suffi ciently protected. Apply your sunscreen half an

hour before going into the sun for optimum protection. If your

skin is prone to breakouts, scan sunscreen labels for words

like ‘non-comedogenic’, ‘clear skin’ or ‘for blemish-prone skin’

to find one that doesn’t block pores.

OPERATORS

Hair-removal

creams and

razors are

painless ways

to remove hair,

but waxing gives

longer-lasting

results. To help

with the pain

that comes

with waxing,

exfoliate your

skin beforehand

(especially

around the

bikini area).

A build-up

of dead skin

cells can cause

potentially

painful ingrown

hairs, which are

not only difficult

to remove during

waxing, but can

also cause your

skin to look and

feel bumpy

and uneven.

unwanted shine at bay.
