Every season brings a different environment that affects our skin. We all look forward to summer to enjoy the outdoors & soak up the sunshine, but more importantly, we all want to stay healthy & radiant throughout all seasons. 

Take the best care of your skin this season with these top summer skincare tips that are simple, dermatologist recommend and worthwhile! 

Incorporate These Tips Into Your Routine for a Refreshed & Renewed Look 

1. Instead of Soaking in the Hot Tub, Take Cool Showers  

Cold plunges have been all the rage in recent months… but what about cold showers?! Did you know that taking a cool shower increases blood flow, improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and improves your skin and hair? According to UCLA Health, cold showers can even help combat depression & relieve localized pain. The summer season is the perfect time to try decreasing the temperature and get used to the cooler water. 

Pro Tip: exercise beforehand or spend some time in the sunshine to make a cold shower more enjoyable. 

2. Rather Than Complicating Your Summer Skin Routine with Dozens of Products, Choose Simple Nutrient Rich Quality Skincare 

Many of us try to take care of our bodies with the best nutrition possible, but it’s just as important to watch what you put ON your skin too. Afterall, it is our largest organ so it’s extremely important to take care of it the best you can. Upgrade your skincare routine this summer with Le-Vel SKIN, a nutrient rich & luxurious new line designed to Cleanse, Repair & Reverse.

This line is mindfully curated with premium ingredients including a foaming cleanser made with superfruits like Goji, Acai & Noni excellent for moisturizing the skin, a serum formulated with Broccoli Seed Oil, Retinol & Shea Butter to help provide moisture and keep your skin hydrated, and an age-defying cream made with Aloe Leaf Juice, Green Tea Leaf Extract & Sodium Hyaluronate to support skin moisture and texture.  

Pro Tip: when using products formulated with Retinol, like the Ultra Vitamin C & Retinol Serum, it is important to wear sunscreen daily since your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays. Dermatologists recommend wearing Retinol at night and applying a generous amount of sunscreen during the day. 

3. Skip Day Drinking and Getting Dehydrated, and Stick to Water and Mocktails to Look Good & Feel Great

With increased perspiration in the summer months, it’s crucial to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Hydrated skin improves complexion, appears healthier, brighter & is also less prone to aging. 

Try THRIVE2O or THRIVE Thirst to ensure you’ll be properly hydrated with these electrolyte infused beverages. 

4. Instead of Oiling Up & Laying Out in the Harsh Sun, Apply Sunscreen Religiously & Choose the Shade 

What’s better than a great tan?! Healthy skin, of course. Don’t only apply your sunscreen BEFORE sun exposure, but AFTER, as well. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends applying sunscreen 30 minutes prior to going in the sun, and reapplying every two hours. Sunscreen protects the skin from sunburn, skin cancer, limits the appearance of sunspots, and reduces the signs of aging. 

Pro Tip: to stay extra protected, wear sunglasses and a big hat. 

5. Don’t Just Protect Your Skin On the Outside, Feed It On the Inside Too! 

Fueling your skin with antioxidants supports the appearance of wrinkles & pigmentations, reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production. Help your skin by feeding it plenty of antioxidants throughout the day. Whether you’re THRIVING daily & getting antioxidant support through premium nutrition or eating a diet high in antioxidants, your skin will thank you! 

It’s time to shine & glow this summer! Make sure to incorporate these summer skin care tips into your day to day life to ensure healthy skin and a refreshed appearance.
