Summer is the time when people love being outside, either working in their gardens or strolling along the beach. All that sun and heat, however, can have damaging effects on your skin. To look your best during the sunny months, here are some of the best beauty routines for the summer.
Exercise Daily
You know exercise is good for you, but it’s also beneficial for your beauty. Any type of aerobic exercise will get your heart rate going, pumping more blood through your veins and supplying oxygen to every part of your body. That exercise gives your skin a healthy glow that’s irresistible.
Swimming is an excellent exercise to improve your beauty. A daily swim routine releases stress and prevents aging. it will boost your immune system and your body’s ability to produce healthy hormones. It can also ease acne.

Fuel Your Body
Eating the right diet will help you keep your weight down, but it’s also beneficial for your looks. Think of food as fuel that your body needs to replenish skin cells and build muscle. Eat only whole foods and try to avoid heavily processed items, such as fast food.
One way to fuel your body is to eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts and seeds. Add whole grains to your diet as well. A good rule of thumb is to try and eat only what your great-grandmother would have eaten. In other words, consume only organic foods that have been minimally prepared.
Get Outside
Going outside is one of the best things you can do for your health. It will relieve anxiety and reduce stress. Spending time outdoors is also beneficial to your beauty. You should spend at least ten minutes a day outside in the sun. Your body needs vitamin D to protect your bones and keep you from getting sick. Your body absorbs vitamin D best and even produces it when you’re in the sun.
Taking walks outside in the fresh air also improves your respiratory system. Breathing deeply outside will increase your body’s oxygen levels and help your cells replenish themselves.
Get Rest
Your beauty rest is important. Go without sleep, and your body will have less repair time. Your cells won’t replace as they should and the blood vessels around your eyes will dilate, giving you unattractive dark circles. Get plenty of rest so that you can think clearly and look and feel your best.
Care for Your Skin
The great thing about summer is you get to spend more time outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. The problem with spending more time outdoors is it can damage your skin. Get proactive about protecting it. Whenever you get a sunburn, your skin will peel and you place yourself at risk of getting moles and even skin cancer.
You can find a good sunscreen with at least a 15 sun protection factor (SPF) or more if you’re fair-skinned. Reapply it every two to three hours you are out in the sun. At the end of the day be sure to use a natural cleanser with an exfoliator to remove sweat and oil from your skin. Then find a good moisturizer to put on daily to keep your skin fresh and rejuvenated.
Summer days can be great for your body so long as you take advantage of the clean air and protect your skin. Enjoy!
