Beach Body Plan with our Body Scrub

Good weather is approaching and that means more sunny days. However, it also brings us to the dreaded change of wardrobe from winter to summer clothes. And here comes the great dilemma, how to prepare our body.

After Christmas, with the excessive intake of food, one of the most common resolutions in the new year is to "join the gym and lose a few kilos", what we know as Beach-Body Plan. But it shouldn't just be the only concern ahead at the start of summer. Preparing our skin for the sun's rays is also important, since it will help us prevent the appearance of skin spots or imperfections, and it will allow us to show off a smooth and luminous skin.

Are you sill with us? We hope so: after months without exposing the skin to the sun, we must prepare it so that it suffers as little as possible, and gradually remove layers off the top and little by little begin to show off healthy skin. To do this, if you have not already done so, you must prepare the skin to minimize damage from sun exposure.

Prepare your skin for the sunny summer months

STEP 1: A Healthy Diet

A good diet is essential to be healthy. The foods that will protect us the most are those that contain vitamin C and E, minerals and healthy fats such as omega 3.

Some recommended foods to prepare the skin for summer are, for example, those with an orange color such as carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, apricots or oranges; and green vegetables and fruits such as spinach, broccoli, peppers or zucchini, asparagus or melons and kiwis.

This type of diet can provide us with a good supply of vitamins and minerals that help maintain the health of our skin.

Above all, it is very important to drink between a liter and a half or two of water, regularly throughout the day, especially in times of intense heat or when we exercise.

Protecting your skin from the sun is one of the essentials of summer

STEP 2: Exfoliation

Why is exfoliation so important for the skin? When we exfoliate we are strengthening the second layer of the skin, the dermis, giving it elasticity and softness, to make it more resistant to the sun, and in turn, promote tanning.

Although our skin regenerates every night, we must help it to eliminate dead cells and clean the pores of the skin, both on the skin of our face and on the body.

Debunking false myths….

Exfoliation is not only for people with skin problems, nor is it aggressive for the skin, nor should it only be done in the spring and summer months. If we know all its benefits, this routine must be essential for our #beauty routine.

Why exfoliate the skin? There are many benefits, as we have explained, but for exfoliation to be fully effective, you must do it properly.

Where to apply it? The ideal place is the shower. Take advantage of hot water vapor to open the pores. In addition, this way you can also exfoliate the face as well as the neck and décolleté, and the entire body.

How? Apply the product by means of ascending circular massages (and on damp skin) so that the facial and body exfoliation is effective. Avoid the eye contour and intimate areas of the body. Remove the exfoliating product with plenty of warm water. And to finish, apply your moisturizing product to complete the treatment and achieve a better finish.

How often? You must do it throughout the year (regardless of the season) once a week or every 2 weeks. The waiting period is to give time for the daily natural regeneration that our skin produces.

STEP 3: Hydration

Surely, you are tired of hearing the importance of drinking water, but all the benefits of good hydration both inside and outside our skin are true.

External factors, such as changes in temperature, wind or sun, cause our skin to become unbalanced, leading to the acceleration of the aging process, and at the same time increasing the risk of the appearance of spots or imperfections.

A hydrated skin and a healthy body favor an increase in the protection of our skin on a daily basis, and improve its appearance.

Therefore, dear Akytaniers, let's pamper and take care of our skin for the coming months of greater exposure to the sun and show off radiant skin with a more beautiful tan thanks to a perfect exfoliation of our skin.
