Regardless of the season, having a reliable go-to body cream as part of your daily routine is one of the most important and nourishing self-care moments you can do for your body. While some may think that because we’re all a little sweatier in the summer, we can skip moisturizing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth, especially as we’re likely all shaving a little bit more frequently as well. Whether you use an electric shaver for women, a traditional razor or a bikini trimmer, you’re going to want to moisturize directly after, but more on that later.
Summer is sadly short and sweet, but without maintaining a consistent moisturizing routine, it can cause serious damage. Experiencing extra sensitive skin or dryness in the summertime is super common, according to Christine Sharkey, medical aesthetician at Stark Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center in Philadelphia. Between higher temperatures and cold air conditioners, our body fluctuates from sweaty to freezing in just a few minutes, but moisturizing daily will come to the rescue to balance out all of the lost hydration from sweating.
