SUMMER READY SKIN TIPS
1) Summer-Ready Skin
So the weather's warming up, you've put away your sweaters and pulled out your shorts -- and it's time to pay some serious attention to your skin. Even if you don't plan to strut around in a bikini, you still want your arms, shoulders, back, and legs to look soft and sun-kissed. Luckily, it only takes a little extra TLC to get your skin into shape.
2) Problem: Breakouts on Your Chest and Back
Why it happens: When your clothing traps sweat and oil -- because you were working out or bundled up in layers -- it can mix with dead skin and bacteria in your pores to form pimples.
The fix: Use a body wash with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria and unclog pores. Dermatologist suggests applying an alphahydroxy peel three nights a week. "The acids help get rid of any lingering redness once the pimples are gone."
3) Try: Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel, $25
4) Problem: Dull, Scaly Skin All Over Your Body
Why it happens: If you neglected to moisturize and exfoliate regularly over the course of the cold, dry winter, you may find yourself with parched, lackluster skin come spring.
The fix: Two or three times a week, use a sugar scrub to gently exfoliate. Lightly towel dry, then apply a moisturizing lotion or cream, which will penetrate your skin better after you've sloughed off that flaky, dead layer.
TRY: AVON’S Intensive Moisture Therapy Body Lotion $8.00 or Skin So Soft Body Wash and Gelled Oil $7.00 each;
5) Problem: Rough Feet and Cracked Heels
Why it happens: A season of stomping around in boots and skimping on pedicures can leave your soles with dry, dead layers of skin that not only look bad but can be quite painful. The fix: Mornings: apply a lightweight foot lotion to soften the skin. At night soak feet in Footwork Foot Soak. With Avon, you can give your feet a Facial with all our Footworks Products. We have a lavender scented Footworks Products, plus 2 Overnight creams, and 1 -Clay mask that exfoliates leaving softer skin.

6) Hair Removal: Legs
Because the skin on your legs doesn't produce much oil, adding moisture is key to avoid irritation.
Face - Skin So Soft
Hair Removal Cream $13 each
Facial Hair Removal – Skin So Soft Facial Hair Removal Cream $5.00 each
Tips:
Depilatories: Creams and foams that chemically dissolve the hair help minimize stubble and give you results that last a few days longer than shaving. Always moisturize your legs afterward.
TRY: Avon’s Skin So Soft Silky Stay Shave Gel $5.00 or Creamy Shower/Shave Body Wash $6.00ea
7) Hair Removal: Bikini Line
The coarse hair in the bikini area is prone to ingrowns. Sensitive nerve endings intensify the ouch factor.
TRY: Avon Skin So Soft Hair Removable Cream $5.00
8) Oval: Underarms
Your underarm hair grows twice as fast as your leg hair, so you're constantly dealing with stubble.. Also, the delicate skin is easily irritated.
TRY: Avon’s Skin So Soft Mineral Gems Body Scrub $8.00 each; Body Wash $6.50 along with Body Lotion $8.00
Best De-Fuzzing Option
Shaving: Make sure you use a fresh razor every two weeks. Using a dull blade forces you to apply more pressure than if you were using a new one and can lead to nicks. Gently exfoliate under your arms first (deodorant residue can clog your pores) and be sure to use shaving cream.
TRY: Avon’s Skin So Soft Silky Stay Shave Gel $5.00 each
9) Kissed Skin
A safe, bronzed glow is easier than ever thanks to the latest multitasking self-tanner formulas.
TRY: Avon’s Skin So Soft Absolute Glow Satin Glow, it minimizes hair and adds a sun-kissed look $10 each
