When the sun comes out everyone wants to look and feel their best, have a look at Kate's tips below to help keep your skin glowing this Summer.

1. CLEAN YOUR PILLOWCASES WEEKLY.This is a very simple, yet super effective tip to prevent breakouts from bacteria that might be harvesting on your pillow cases.

2. INCORPORATE ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS DAILY.Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) help with the quality of oil being produced in the skin and regulates a healthy oil-flow which helps to prevent breakouts. EFA’s also help your skin retain moisture, which is vital for preventing fine lines, wrinkles and can assist with collagen production.

3. CLEAN YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES EVERY WEEK.We recommend washing your makeup brushes once a week if you are a daily makeup wearer. Use an antibacterial wash, one containing Tea Tree is a good start! Air dry brushes flat and keep them stored in their container.

4. DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY. Drinking the recommended daily water intake will help rid your body and skin of toxins, resulting is a healthier complexion. The suggested amount of water to drink a day for women is approximately 8 glasses.

5. EXFOLIATE TWICE A WEEK.Exfoliation buffs off any dull, dry skin cells on the surface on the skin and speeds up the process in which your skin renews itself with healthy and fresh cells. We recommend the helping hand of an at-home weekly exfoliant. I recommend Dermalogica's 'Daily Microfoliant'.

6. EAT A NUTRIENT-RICH DIET. Healthy skin starts with correct nourishment from within. By eating the correct balance of foods, you can feed your skin with the vital nutrients it needs

7. PROTECT YOUR SKIN. The sun still takes reign as the number one cause of premature ageing. In fact, 90% of skin ageing is caused by the sun. Invest in a good quality broad spectrum spf.

Antioxidants also leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and provide further protection against skin ageing free radicals.
