7 TipsTo Have Both Healthy And Tan Skin This Summer

In This Article:

So when it comes to having healthy and tan skin during the summer, here are my first few tips:

1. Use sunscreen.

It is so important to wear sunscreen. It has tons of benefits including helping protect your skin from sun spots, preventing wrinkles, keeping an even complexion, postponing skin aging, and keeping away harmful UV rays that can cause cancer.

2. Moisturize your skin.

This is something that you shouldn't skip out doing because it will help you to keep your tan longer as well it is important to keep your skin hydrated so it doesn't peel, flake, or get ashy. Moisturizers and lotions work best when applied after you have gotten wet when your skin is still a bit moist. You want to pat dry off your skin with a towel and then apply your lotion in an upward direction so that you are not pulling down on your skin.

3. Shave carefully.

It is important to be gentle with your skin and to not cut or nick yourself in the shower because it may cause scars and an uneven skin complexion.

4. Eat healthy.

Your skin and body will thank you when you eat healthy. In the summer, I find that I want to eat lighter because the heat of the sun can really wear you down. (Except for the ice cream!) Additionally,many fruits and vegetables have many benefits leading to better skin.

5. If you do get burned, apply Aloe Vera.

If you get burnt this summer, it can help to apply Aloe Vera to the burn. Especially if it stings, this will help the pain go away and will feel nice and cool against your skin.

6. Stay stress free.

Stress and anxiety are so bad for your health and can even impact your skincare. If you form the habit of not managing your stress, it can cause an imbalance of your hormones, which makes it easy for your skin to break out.

7. For the girls that don't tan, use self-tanner!

I'm not one to do this in the summer because I get tan easily but, if you have trouble tanning, then this is a great solution. I have used self-tanner before and it is just important that you follow the instructions carefully so you don't look orange or streaky! However, it is something that I would recommend and that has worked out well for me in the past so you can get some color!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
