4 Healthy Hacks for Glowing Summer Skin 1. Inner Hydration
Tune up your day with 8-16 oz of fresh water before your morning coffee. Coffee (and back tea) tend to be dehydrating. Remember to up your water on days you partake of more than a cup. As juicy, seasonal fruits and veggies become available, add as many as you desire. (Guilt Free, they’re delicious!)
2. Outer Hydration
Boost hydration by spritzing on a hydrating mist immediately after cleansing. This is the best time to apply hydration as we lose the most moisture from our skin at this time. Look for products with hyaluronic acid as it binds moisture to your skin, resulting in superior hydration during long summer days.
3. Smart-Stack Your Antioxidants
Topical Vitamin C is reputed to be the most beneficial antioxidant in natural skin care. When formulated with Vitamin E and Ferulic acid, it becomes even more potent for protecting your skin. Apply a Vitamin C serum 56
to your cleansed, hydrated skin. Follow with a facial oil or cream, which includes additional antioxidant powerhouses, such as sea buckthorn berry, strawberry or kiwi.
4. Respect the Sun
Limit skin exposure between 10-2 and wear a physical sunscreen. The safest for our skin and the environment is a non-nano zinc sunscreen. This type of formula is considered ecologically “Reef Safe,” which means it doesn’t include oxybenzone or octinoxate and is safe for sensitive animal, flora and aquatic life.
