Whether you’re heading off to the Hamptons or to your annual family camping trip, summer has a way of changing the atmosphere that surrounds us. We become more lighthearted, active and bliss-seeking. But with all the wonders of summer also comes stronger UV rays and heat, which will likely affect your skin. So aside from switching to lighter products appropriate for your skin type and climate (perhaps you’ll want to add a few drops of our Extraordinary Face Oil for Oily/Problematic Skin to your moisturizer to be extra cautious of blemishes!), you can also continue luxuriating in self-love activities to help your skin stay strong and supple from the inside out.1. Make your own fresh spa waterSummer gifts us with the juiciest seasonal fruits, so stock up on your skin-loving, antioxidant-filled fruits. Berries (particularly blueberries and blackberries) are known to have the highest antioxidant benefits. If you don’t have access to a farm, that’s what the local farmer’s market is for! “Steep” these amazing fruits in fresh water overnight to create your own spa water for hot, outdoorsy days relaxing on a hammock.2. Swim in a lake or do yoga on the beachNature and movement together creates the perfect scenario for glowing skin. Spending time in nature has been studied for its mind-boosting effects, which in turn reduces stress for happy skin, while exercise in any form will help stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage. Just remember to apply a proper amount of sunscreen before you head out and take care of your skin by cleansing, nourishing and moisturizing it immediately after contact with the environment.
