Ah, summer! The season of sunshine, sandy toes, and refreshing dips in the pool. But while you’re basking in the warmth and enjoying the waves, it’s crucial to remember that your hair and skin need extra care to stay healthy and vibrant. At Salon Evolve, we’re here to help you shine all summer long with our top tips for protecting and pampering your hair and skin during pool and beach season.
1. Pre-Swim Protection
Before you dive into the pool or ocean, it’s essential to prep your hair and skin:
Rinse and Oil Up: Wet your hair with fresh water and spray on Elixir 11 before you swim. This helps reduce the amount of chlorine or salt water your hair absorbs. Apply a leave-in conditioner or a light hair oil to create a protective barrier.
Sunscreen, Always: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for your skin. Don’t forget often-missed spots like the back of your neck, ears, and part lines in your hair. We love Elevated Shade!
2. Post-Swim Care
After your swim, it’s crucial to remove chlorine or salt water from your hair and skin:
Rinse Immediately: Rinse your hair and body with fresh water as soon as possible after swimming. This helps to wash away chlorine, salt, and other chemicals that can cause dryness and damage.
Clarifying Shampoo: Use our clarifying shampoo once a week to remove any buildup of chlorine or salt. Follow up with a deep conditioner to restore moisture and shine to your hair.
Hydrate Your Skin: After rinsing off, apply a hydrating lotion or aloe vera gel to soothe your skin and replenish lost moisture. You won't regret trying Ahhhsome Relief by Farmhouse fresh!
3. Regular Maintenance
Consistent care will keep your hair and skin in top condition all season:
Weekly Hair Masks: Treat your hair to a weekly deep conditioning mask. Look for products with natural oils and proteins to nourish and strengthen your strands. You'll love Indulge for a deep summertime moisture restoration.
