Best sunscreens for this summer

Protecting yourself from the sun’s rays is very important not only in summer but throughout the year.
Using sun creams with an appropriate SPF reduces the risk of sunburn and prevent the risk of skin melanomas. Also knowing the meaning of acronyms like SPF, UVA, and UVB helps us to make more informed purchases. To learn more about, have a look at my previous post.

DIY Skincare / By Gabi

When the days get hot taking a cold shower or looking for the shade of some trees is a relief. When temperatures soar, our skin starts to dry out but moisturizing it can become problematic. How many of you are willing to spread oils and butter after a refreshing shower with outside 35-40 °C (95-104 °F)? I’m not one of them. In summer, I need something to hydrate my skin without greasing it. That’s why I created a simple DIY body lotion for summer using only two ingredients: aloe vera gel and sweet almond oil, very simple and effective. I’ve been using it for about a month and I decided to share it with you because it’s really top quality!
