So, I think I do one of these every. summer.
But these are extremely important.
So here are seven tips to stay healthy this summer!
- Wear Sunscreen- I know you've probably heard this a MILLION times, but it really helps. It prevents things such as skin cancer, wrinkles, and skin imperfections. A little bit of direct sunlight is good (15 minutes or less) because you are soaking up vitamin D, which is a vitamin your body needs and gets from direct sunlight, but too much sun creates problems you don't want to deal with...Trust me.
- Avoid Using a Blow Dryer- Or any other heated hair products. During the summer, you get enough heat from the outside heat. Don't dry out your hair, and occasionally use a special conditioner and/or shampoo to keep it healthy. Try different hairstyles, like the beach waves, or up-dos.
- Drink Lot's of Water- If not, you risk becoming dehydrated. Carrying around a water bottle is an easy fix!You also don't have to worry about those bothersome plastic bottles. Water also cleanses out any bad substances in your system.
- Accessorize- My favorite part of summer! Sunglasses, straw hats, cute necklaces/bracelets/rings, and flip-flops are all a must have! Sunglasses to shade your eyes and keep them working good, straw hats to shade you head/face, jewelry....well, just 'cause, and flip-flops for when you need to run and need some quick shoes. And who wants to wear tennis shoes to the beach??
- Moisturize- If your swimming a lot, or even in the sun a lot, you're slowly drying out your skin. Use a good moisturizer, and you'll keep your skin glowing!(:
- Protect Your Lips- Use a lip balm, or chap-stick, with sunscreen in it. It is possible to sunburn your lips. Guys. It. Is. PAINFUL. You do not want to deal with it, trust me on this one.
- Keep Your Hair Off Your Face- If you have bangs, keep them pulled up. If you leave your hair down, and you sweat a lot, you are putting natural hair oils on your pores, and those two things don't mix. Especially if your prone to break-outs.
I hope you take these seven tips to heart and keep your body healthy this summer! I posted these last year,too, but they are sooo so so so important. I just can't stress it enough.
Much Love!(:
