Summer is finally here! While this season is all about having fun and getting that superb tan, there are things to keep in mind to spend a vacation that's filled with more enjoyment and less worries.
Here are our tips to keep yourself fresh in this summer heat:
1. Stay protected
There is nothing wrong with soaking up in the sun. In fact, getting the morning dose of Vitamin D is very important too.
Still, staying too long under the intense summer sun may cause heat rash and burns so it's much better to keep yourself protected at all times.
Why? There are two types of harmful, ultraviolet rays from the sunlight; UVA and UVB. UVB causes sunburn while UVA causes premature skin aging. Both also play a part in skin cancer formation.
That's why it's essential to keep your skin safe!
One effective way against these damaging rays is using sunscreen, but not just any sunscreen! One with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) value between 30 and 50 should be enough against sunburn, even if your skin is sensitive.
Try our Papaya SPF50 Sunscreen, which not only shields skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays, but also helps even out skin tone.
Plus, even when you don't go outside, standard glass windows don't block out all UV rays, especially UVA. So if reading or working in natural light is something you can't let go of, then a sunscreen is your bestfriend!
2. Stay hydrated
What better way to fight the intense heat than gulping down that cool glass of water? Not only would it quench your thirst, you'll also probably be sweating a lot and might need more liquid to stay hydrated.
Drink healthy ones like coconut juice or watermelon smoothies, but even just the plain old water is the MVP!
Keep in mind that at least eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day is essential to the body.
Of course, staying hydrated doesn’t only mean drinking water. You need to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized as well!
To stay fresh, wash your face regularly and use moisturizing face creams. Take a shower daily and don't forget your hair too! Intense sun exposure may also cause damage to the hair.

3. Stay cool
Summer is the perfect time to put on that white sundress you’ve always loved! Wear summer-friendly clothes that have airy materials like cotton or linen. You may need to update your wardrobe with brighter colors too, because darker colors absorb more heat from the sun.
Not only is what you wear important, but also what you put on your body.
Use shampoos that not only clean the scalp but also soothe and cool you down! Our Tea Tree Scalp Shampoo with mint does the perfect job.
Another way to stay cool is using a deodorant that makes you feel good. Our Tea Tree Roll On Deodorant provides an effective deodorant protection and leaves skin cool so you can feel fresh and confident all day!
