It’s summertime, and the sun is out. What can you do to protect your largest organ while keeping your skin healthy and happy? Keep reading to find out how you can help keep your skin glowing…in a good way…this summer.
How Can I Improve My Skin This Summer?
Here are some easy and fun ways to protect your skin this summer.
Drink lots of water! You might not realize it, but your skin is comprised of 64% water. Drinking plenty of water is essential in the summertime to maintain health and avoid overheating, but it also positively impacts your skin. This study shows that regular, plentiful hydration profoundly affects your skin’s health and appearance. Drinking lots of water year-round will help keep your skin healthy and look lovely, but it’s essential during the summer when the heat and sun strive to remove moisture as fast as possible.
Protect your skin from the sun with regular use of sunscreen (Use a high SPF!), hats, and light clothing that covers your skin. Covering your skin (somehow) reduces the risk of sunburns, which, aside from being painful and taking a long time to heal, damage your skin. Repeated sunburns will age your skin faster, produce wrinkles and sun spots, and increase your risk of skin cancer. So slather on or spray away with the sunscreen.
Support your skin’s health and appearance with potent vitamins, minerals, and herbs from beauty supplements! There is a lot of science out there about how our plant allies can keep your skin healthy, happy, healthy, and looking its best. Please keep reading for our skin supplements suggestions.
