As the seasons change, so do the needs of our skin and body. Preparing for summer means shedding the remnants of winter dryness, dullness, and sluggishness to welcome a season of vitality and radiance. Start by gently exfoliating the skin to slough away dead cells and boost circulation (a sea moss sugar scrub is great for this using our flavor Flower Bomb). This step not only leaves your skin smoother but also allows for better absorption of moisturizers and SPF. Opt for natural exfoliants and hydrating treatments to keep the skin barrier healthy and balanced.
Hydration becomes even more essential as temperatures rise. Swap heavier creams for lightweight, breathable moisturizers and increase your water intake to keep your skin plump and glowing from the inside out. Incorporating hydrating mists and after-sun botanical treatments can help calm and replenish the skin, especially after sun exposure. Don’t forget the importance of daily SPF it's the most effective way to prevent premature aging and protect against UV damage.
Internally, preparing your body for summer also means aligning your habits with the season. Focus on whole, water-rich foods like fruits, leafy greens, and herbs to support detoxification and energy levels. Incorporate movement that brings joy, whether it's morning walks, swimming, or yoga in the park. And most importantly, make time for rest and rituals that nourish your nervous system. With a mindful approach, summer can be a season of true renewal for your skin, body, and overall well-being.
