For many, summer is the most wonderful time of the year — beach, sun, and sea mean adventure and relaxation for body, mind, and soul alike. But after a long day in the fresh air, our skin also needs a little extra care — because hydration is your skin’s best friend!
After Sunbathing Comes the Oil Bath
Even in summer, a warm bath can be the perfect way to end the day. Its soothing and relaxing effect makes for the ideal finishing touch to a vacation or sunny day outdoors. It helps relieve muscle tension and, depending on the essential oils you choose, can have either a calming or invigorating effect. Most importantly, it provides the skin with deep hydration and lasting nourishment. Another bonus of a summer oil bath: skin that isn’t completely dried afterwards leaves a gentle cooling sensation.
A Spa Experience at Home
The feeling of silky-smooth skin after a wellness treatment is simply incomparable. A gentle massage with a body oil after a bath is a truly special experience. A well-balanced blend of lipids provides the skin with moisture, envelops it in a protective layer, and deeply nourishes it.
For those short on time or without access to a bathtub, a quick shower followed by moisturizing your still slightly damp skin with a rich body milk or lightweight body lotion is a wonderful alternative that leaves your skin soft, hydrated, and perfectly cared for.
Water – The Source of Life and Essential, Especially on Hot Summer Days
Regular hydration not only quenches your thirst — it’s also the key to plump, elastic, and fresh-looking skin. So complement your skincare routine with a generous sip of water — and do it regularly.
With these simple tips, you’ll easily manage to drink enough water throughout the day:
- Set a reminder on your phone or wearable to prompt you to drink. Always carry a water bottle with you when you’ll be out for an extended period.
- Prefer your water with a little flavor? Simply add small pieces of your favorite fruits. If you use frozen ones, they’ll keep your drink cool and refreshing for longer.
- Eat your water! Enjoy water-rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, tomato, or zucchini. This way, you can boost your hydration naturally throughout the day.
