Tips To Stay Hydrated This Summer

National Hydration Day is June 23rd! 

Here are some tips for staying hydrated and healthy this summer: 

• Drink your water: Instead of waiting until you’re thirsty, drink water throughout the day to maintain adequate hydration. Pro tip: infuse your water with natural hydrators, such as strawberry, watermelon, or cucumber.

• Wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothing to let your skin breathe: Dark colors absorb heat, so wear lighter tones to keep you from overheating too quickly.

• Wear a hat: Protect yourself from the sun’s rays and reduce your exposure to heat by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

• Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption: These ingredients are diuretics, and can cause you to dehydrate more quickly, especially in hot weather. 

• Keep it cool: Create a spray or roll-on blend of peppermint and/or other cooling essential oils to keep from feeling overheated. 

Your skin needs hydration too, even during the warmer months! Here are some products available at our Cosmetic Center to help maintain that summer glow:
