Now it’s here. Summer has finally hit Denmark. The sun is shining, and we’ve already forgotten the cold, sad months. That’s great. But it has also been much needed.

During the winter and autumn months, our skin, hair and nails have been subjected to a massive strain. But it’s over now.

In this blog post, we have gathered a practical guide on how your skin will be ready for the Danish summer. Your skin is extremely exposed for the next three months because the sun’s UVA and UVB rays are stronger than in the rest of the year.

However, it is important to say that UV radiation in smaller doses has a good, healthy effect on our skin, as it stimulates our metabolism, increases oxygen content in our cells and strengthens the immune system. In addition, the sun really boosts the body’s production of vitamin D; an important building block for strong, healthy bones and teeth.

In addition to UV radiation, your skin is extra exposed over the summer as the air is drier than usual. Dehydration of the skin is also a major problem that can cause a network of fine lines and wrinkles in the skin.

Let’s get started.

How to make the skin summer ready

Below we have gathered the best tips and tricks to make the skin summer ready. It is the first step towards good and healthy skin all summer.

1) Be sure to remove dead skin cells

It’s actually one of the most important things to get your skin ready for summer. Use a good Body Scrub and scrub the skin in soft and circular movements. You will feel how the skin feels soft and elastic; an amazing feeling.

Using a good Body Scrub also gives you a smoother, nice and brown color if you move out into the sun. For example, you can use our Body Scrub, which contains pumpkin seeds, which amplify the scrub effect and contribute effectively to the removal of dead skin cells.

NOTE: Therefore, it is important to scrub all year round: a scrub exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells. It gives a nice, soft and smooth skin. Plus, a good scrub boosts blood circulation and gives more life to your skin — something your skin will thank you for.

2) The skin needs lots of moisture

It may seem simple, and indeed it is. Once you have scrubbed the skin, it is important to add moisture to the skin. The skin has become thirsty, very thirsty, and that thirst must be quenched.

Use a good, nutritious lotion and the skin will get the necessary moisture.

Many women experience, sooner or later, dry, unclean and oily skin. Especially during the summer months. Sometimes it’s not just because of the weather; it may also be due to a lack of important vitamins and minerals. Along with a good, nutritious lotion, you can use a Face Serum. Our Face Serum contains, among other things, oats, rapeseed and rosehip oil, which provide the skin with important vitamins and minerals and have a moisturizing effect.

3) Diet has an impact on healthy skin

Diet, diet, diet … Yes. The diet is important for healthy skin. I’m sure you’ve heard that before, and it’s true. Diet has a crucial role to play in getting or maintaining a balanced skin. Therefore, eat plenty of healthy ingredients, and do not forget about the vegetables; they are also important.

It may be necessary to add more vitamins and minerals by taking one or more supplements. Too many people do not get enough vitamins and minerals, and that is a pity. Especially for your skin, hair and nails.

And that is precisely where you can choose to supplement a good and varied diet with a dietary supplement. For example, it could be our Skin Glow, a skin care capsule that provides nutrients to the skin from the inside. This dietary supplement contains, among other things, nettle powder and Betacarotene; the latter is one of the body’s natural antioxidants that help to combat harmful substances and also has a positive effect on the color of your skin when you stay in the sun.
