My Sun-Tanning Routine + How I Stay Hydrated in the Heat

Hey Y'all!  

Today I wanted to share my tips & tricks to getting that perfect Summer time tan as well as how I stay cool & hydrated while out in the heat. 

It's important to take care of your skin & stay hydrated especially when you're tanning as the sun dries your skin out.

My Sun-Tanning Routine:

The most important part of my routine is exfoliating and moisturizing!  Moisturized skin ALWAYS tans/ holds tan better than dry skin.  I dry brush every other day (minimum), I use my go-to sugar scrub in the shower at least once a week, and I moisturize daily after showering with either raw organic coconut oil or Vaseline cocoa radiant lotion (sometimes both LOL).

When I am laying out, I always apply at least a 30 SPF to my face & neck to help protect my skin and face.  

My favorite tanning oil for sun-tanning is the Australian Gold Bronzing Dry Oil Intensifier!

This oil doesn't leave you greasy, and it has instant bronzer in it for immediate color.

While I'm laying out, I also like to fill a spray bottle up with pool water and continuously spray myself down.  It helps you stay cool, and the chlorine in the water helps you tan.

Staying Hydrated:

When being out in the heat it's super important to stay good and hydrated to avoid getting over heated or dehydrated.

My favorite way to keep cool & hydrated is infused water 

I'm addicted!

I keep an infuser pitcher full of water in my fridge (got mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond).

I like to fill the infuser with lemon, cucumber, and mint.

When I am getting ready for the pool, I fill my cup up with ice & water and throw in a few extra wedges of lemon in.

Easy Peasy!

My favorite cup to use is from Starbucks, because it's my favorite color (obvi) and because the metal lining & straw keep my drink cold for longer than similar cups I own.

Not only does infused water taste yummy, but it also has some pretty cool benefits for you!!

It can help bloating, digestion, detox your body, and help your skin depending on what you choose to infuse your water with.

:-)

I think that about wraps this post up.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Have a hot and bronze Summer!!

Dry Brushing: Benefits & How To

Sephora Dry Revive Dry Body Brush $14.00 -Click Here

Okay, so Dry Brushing is a new addiction of mine.  

I had never heard of it until recently, and it's ridiculously underrated in my opinion.

First of all, I LOVE to exfoliate.  My face, my body, exfoliate it all!

I dry brush everyday before I shower and have definitely noticed positive changes in my skin.

My skin overall feels softer, firmer, and I've noticed cellulite reduction.

So let me give you the 411....

What Is It?

Dry Brushing is the technique of using an abrasive brush to brush your dry skin prior to showering. 

(You want to do it before showering so that you can wash the dry/ dead skin off)

Typically starting at your feet, working upward, and brushing in circular motions.

As you brush, you skin will most likely turn a little red, that's normal and a good sign.

Personally, I need to turn red and/ or it hurt a little to feel like it's doing something.

I'm weird that way.

What Does It Do?

Dry brushing majorly helps your lymphatic system.  It can improve circulation, tighten skin, reduce cellulite, release toxins trapped in the skin, and unclog pores.

What Do I Need?

All you need is a natural (not synthetic) boar bristle brush.  I originally started with one I purchased at Target; however, I felt the bristles weren't abrasive enough.  So I went and got the Dry Revive brush from Sephora and I am OBSESSED.  

I prefer this brush vs others with handles and such because it's super easy to control and fits easily in the palm of your hand.

I hope you all enjoy this post and let me know if you decide to try out Dry Brushing!

As always, feel free to drop me any questions.

Til next time.
