Get Your Glow: Summertime Skincare
Tips for treating your skin this season.
To get gorgeously glowing summer skin, look at your skincare regimen! From SPF to your nighttime ritual, there’s opportunity to create your best summer beauty routine ever. Here’s how:
Drink Up: Hydration
Beautiful skin starts from within! Especially in warmer summer months, make sure you’re drinking enough water to stay hydrated. You’ll help keep skin from drying out, and water can help keep skin clear and healthy. Pro tip: Drink at least 64 ounces a day.

Shake It Off: Exfoliation
At the start of the season, invest in a good exfoliating sponge or brush and use it every day. You’ll be scrubbing off the sweat, dirt, and sunscreen that can accumulate to reveal your softest skin. We love to couple our exfoliating with a grainy, sugar-based scrub that smells incredible.

Brush Up: Body Brushing
Did you know that dry brushing can promote circulation to your skin and give you an overall glow? Plus, it feels incredible. Pick up a soft-bristle brush and dry brush your skin before your next shower. It’s like a massage for every single pore.

Pamper Your Skin: Moisturization
Days in the hot sun and saltwater can dry out skin, so consider adding a moisturizing protocol to your bedtime routine. Pamper elbows and knees with a rich lotion, and make sure to massage those hard-working feet after a day of sandal-wearing, too.

Go Incognito: Wear a Mask
At least once a week, add a hydrating mask to your nighttime regimen. Opt for something cooling, like cucumber, to give skin an added boost after a day of fun in the sun. Bonus: It’s a great chance to unplug, relax, meditate or just chill.
Have a Block Party: SPF
Your biggest beauty buy this summer is simple: Broad Spectrum SPF. It protects your skin now (blocking UVA rays) and guards against sun damage that appears later (like fine lines caused by UVB rays). Make sure to put it on every day and reapply when you head outside for your daily walk. (For bonus protection, don’t forget your hat and long sleeve sun cover.)

Go Bare: Keep It Simple
In the summer, minimal makeup is often your best choice. Avoid thick foundations that can look harsh in the sunlight, or heavy makeup that can get caked up when you sweat. Let your natural beauty shine with simple glosses and a few swipes of mascara.
