5 Summer Body Care Tips to Swear By!

When Summer time approaches, many focus on the skin of their face – the skin on the body doesn’t get enough attention as it should.

To keep your body’s skin healthy, try out the following tips this season!

1.    Don’t forget to moisturize!

You may be tempted to avoid moisturizing your body because your skin feels sweaty and sticky. However, it is extremely important to moisturize your skin to make up for the dryness caused by heat and UV rays. You can use body lotions that have a light texture such as Dermalogica’s Active Moist. It is essential to keep your skin healthy and hydrated by preventing moisture loss.

2.    One Word: Exfoliate

In order to have a summer-ready body, you should exfoliate with a good, natural body scrub. You can check out St. Ives Apricot Fresh Skin Body Scrub or even make your own body scrub at home using natural ingredients!

3.    Draw yourself a Peppermint bath!

To start off, essential oils are naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds found in seeds, bark, stems, flowers, and other parts of plants. They have been used for beauty treatment and health-care practices for many years. The perfect way to cool down your body after a long, stressful, and hot day is to draw a bath with peppermint essential oil. It not only gives a cooling sensation but also has a calming effect on the body. Just ensure your essential oil is not a fake. I recommend adding 6-8 drops of Conatural’s Peppermint Essential Oil to your bath.

4.    Load up on Fruits

This is probably something that is reinforced again and again. However, you should definitely consume fruits that have high water content in order to keep your skin healthy naturally. Fruits like watermelons are delicious and they help keep your body healthy and hydrated throughout the season! 

5.    Reduce Sun Exposure

Finally, try and reduce the time you spend outside where you are directly exposed to the sun. You don’t have to be stuck in doors though. Travel with an umbrella or a sun hat to shield yourself from the damaging rays of the sun.
