Get summer body ready with these 5 beauty tips

With temperatures rising, we’re bound to show more skin. But, before you trade in your sweater for sleeveless tops and your boots for sandals, there are a few beauty-related 'issues' you'll probably want to tackle first.

1. First things first: scrub!

You’re beautiful just the way you are, but a bit of panic is ensured as soon as warm summer sun replaces those gruelling winter months, and we slowly move towards wearing more revealing clothes. That’s why we say: start with the basics, with a thorough scrub session! This stimulates the skin’s blood flow and cell renewal by removing dead skin cells, and prevents grown-in hairs. The result? Smooth and silky soft skin with a healthy glow. Next to that, tanned skin will have a more even tone when you exfoliate regularly – whether your skin is suntanned or self-tanned.

2. Hydrate from both ways

Once your glorious skin is revealed, it’s key to hydrate. It’s not just you that feels thirsty during hot days – your skin gets thirsty too. Sun exposure dries out the skin, so always replenish after showers to keep your skin soft, smooth and radiant. Hydrating creams with hyaluronic acid are a good option to maintain hydration without leaving a greasy film.

 

Hydrating your skin from the inside is just as important, which entails drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day: 1,5 to 2 litres. This amounts to about 9 glasses of water. When you’re fed-up with water, you can switch to juicy veggies and fruits like watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, strawberries, lettuce, and the list goes on.

3. Fake it till you make it

Now that your pantyhose have been stored away in the back of your sock drawer and skirts and shorts are making their entrance, the time has arrived to show those bare legs. But sun-kissed legs don’t become reality overnight. Or do they? When you don’t tan easily, there’s no time for sunbathing, or when you want to prevent sun damage, self-tanning is your go-to solution.

4. Sandal-ready

Dry, rough and cracked skin doesn’t appeal to anyone. Time to create baby soft feet and add a pop of color to your toe nails. Creams containing shea butter or grapeseed oil softens calloused heels and give tired winter feet a needed boost. After all, feet deserve some pampering too – especially when you want to make them summer ready!

5. The right balance

We’re all in search of that perfect body, mind & soul balance and the pre-summer season often emphasizes that desire. The shape our bodies are in turns into the conversation of the day, which can make it difficult not to compare yourself to others. Our advice is to fully accept and embrace your body, and care for it as best you can with some extra exercise, meditation, healthy eating, more me-time, spending time in nature and some extra sleep. Chances are that you’ll feel more energized, confident and calm all around, making you even more ready for the sunny season ahead. Happy Summer!
