Young Healthy Skin in Tropical Climates

 But the skin care routine that you follow at home is probably not the best way to take care of your skin when you’re in Puerto Vallarta or Riviera Nayarit.  Here are some tips to keep your skin looking and feeling young and healthy while you’re in BanderasBay

A sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 is a must for the Puerto Vallarta sunshine and needs to be applied throughout the day as humidity and sweat will lessen its effectiveness.  Makeup like tinted moisturizers, mineral powders and foundation with SPF are a great way of adding a second level of protection.

Refrain from getting a chemical peel 6 weeks prior to your stay in Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta and avoid using Retinol while you are here, as both make your skin additionally sensitive and susceptible to sun damage.  Consider using microdermabrasion instead to get a fresh glow to your skin.

Water, water, water and watch the tequila.  The sunny, warm weather in Banderas Bay can dehydrate you faster than you think and alcohol exacerbates the effect.  Keep water on hand at all times and try some of the fresh coconut water sold on the streets of Puerto Vallarta, which is a fantastic natural hydrator full of electrolytes.

And of course, you can always take advantage of the much lower cost of spa treatments like collagen masks and deep-hydrating facials in our area.

We all know by now that limiting sun exposure and not smoking are the two best things that we can do for our skin to keep it healthy and looking great.

Ask your Luxury Beach Concierge to recommend great spas in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit and add a little pampering into your healthy skin care routine.
