Want to make sure you're protected the moment you step out the door, sunglasses on, and beach bag in hand? Then you've come to the right place. The starting point? A good bath to exfoliate your skin. Read on and get ready to discover the routine that prepares your body and mind for the best beach day ever, recommended by Rituals Magazine .
SMOOTH, EXFOLIATED SKIN
Exfoliation is essential. It's important to get rid of dead skin cells to make room for new ones. If you can find an exfoliant that leaves your skin smelling like summer while cleansing and moisturizing, even better. Our Bronzed Range Exfoliant is ideal for renewing and preparing your skin for an even, healthy, and long-lasting tan .
At the same time, it's crucial to take care of your skin after shaving. Use a quality bath oil to keep your skin as smooth as possible, or try using a foaming body wash as a base for shaving in the shower.
PRE-SUN PROTECTION
We've all seen people applying sunscreen right after laying out their towels and other accessories on the sand. What they probably don't know, however, is that it takes 20 minutes for sunscreen to fully absorb and be fully effective. Applying it before leaving the house is the safest bet. Our Tan Activator Gummies also help prepare and protect your skin for sun exposure.
HAIR CARE
This time of year, your hair deserves extra attention. If you're not a fan of hats, a great way to keep your hair and scalp safe is to use a hair spray with vitamin E to protect it from UV rays. Spray your hair before leaving the house and you'll also prevent discoloration.
PLEASANT READINGS
Afternoons at the beach take on a different flavor with the perfect literary companion. Reading is one of the best routines for boosting your mind and is the perfect activity while relaxing in the sun.
NOURISHED BODY AND MIND
Beach days aren't just about taking care of yourself on the outside. It's essential to stay healthy on the inside. Make sure you carry a water bottle with you that you can refill throughout the day to stay hydrated.
To avoid the temptation of a Bola de Berlim, start your day with a delicious and healthy smoothie . Prepare a beet salad, which promotes healthy skin, and enjoy it as soon as you feel like snacking.
As for external hydration, don't forget to apply a moisturizing after-sun lotion all over your body after showering at the end of the day to soothe and soften your skin. Like the exfoliant, this product also contains tan-prolonging properties. The result: a healthy, enviable vacation look.
