5 Tips for a fresh Summer

Summer has arrived! It’s time to plan vacations, hang out with friends, and live your best #HotGirlSummer. Here are some tips to help you stay fresh at all times: Protect yourself from the sun: 

 

It is super important that you give your skin adequate protection to avoid damaging it. Make sure to put on sunscreen every morning before stepping outside. Check that your sunscreen has UV filters and a high sun protection factor (SPF).

 

Avoid exposing yourself to the sun between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. when its rays are most intense. 

 

Wear light and comfortable clothing: Wear light clothing and accessories to cover sun-exposed skin, such as flowy pants, long-sleeved blouses, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses. In addition, natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, or silk will keep you fresher. An extra? We advise you to wear loose clothing to allow your skin to breathe. 

 

Avoid staying in your wet bathing suit: If you visit the beach or go swimming in a pool, once you’re done relaxing in the water, give yourself enough time in the sun to make sure your suit is dry. Wearing a wet bathing suit for too long can lead to skin irritation or yeast infections. A great tip is to pack a change of clothes in your bag if you know you’ll be going somewhere afterwards. 

 

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential to staying hydrated. As an extra, you can add mint leaves, some cucumber slices, or mandarin orange segments since, in addition to hydrating you, they will also refresh you. You can even make your own combinations. A touch of cold water: Before going out, wet your wrists with cold water. This helps to lower your body temperature and gives you a feeling of freshness. You can also moisten your neck. This summer, choose to stay cool and protected.
