With summer just around the corner now, it’s only natural to start getting excited for the season. So, let’s jump right in and check out four essential ways you can start preparing for feeling your best this summer.

Give Your Skin Some TLC

After many long and cold months where your skin didn’t see the light of day, it’s only natural that it may not be in its best condition. There’s a good chance it’s dehydrated, dry, flaky, and even itchy. Now is the time to put in place a skincare routine that moisturizes your skin and leaves it looking plump, healthy, and glowing. This should include your body as well as your face. Keep in mind that the products you use in summer may differ to what you’d use in other seasons.

Find the Perfect Bathing Suit for You

For many people, this is one of the worst parts about summer - having to shop for a new bathing suit. Rather than go into the process with negative thoughts, why not tell yourself that this year will be different, and you're going to be kind and patient with yourself? The fact is that not every swimsuit will suit you, and that’s okay. That’s not a slight against you; it just means that some styles will look better on you than others. The very best way to find out which style best flatters your body type and personality is to try on a wide range of options. As they say, you don’t know until you try. Be forgiving with yourslef… and go for the one that makes you feel the best. Don’t think about anyone else.

Mind & body

Maybe you’ve been doing your best for months now to workout and meditate, but you’ve hit a plateau. This is a common thing that can happen to people and it can be very hard to move past that plateau and get back on into a practice that suits you. A good option is to. consider bringing accountability into your fitness practice by hiring a personal trainer.

Stock Up on Sun Protection

Finally, you want to be sure you’re fully stocked up on sun protection. That of course means sunscreen, but there are other ways to also protect you from the sun. This includes sunglasses that protect your eyes from the UV rays, an oversized brimmed hat, a long-sleeved lightweight beach cover-up, and a rash guard top (short or long-sleeved) to offer protection while you’re in the water.

By using these tips, you’ll be well prepared for summer swim season.
