That summer sun may feel great, but the humidity and heat can take a real toll on your skin. Luckily, there are preventative that you can take to keep your skin during the summertime. Keep reading to learn what some of these are.

Keep Yourself Hydrated—with Water

Did you know that 64 percent of the skin is composed of water?  A significant amount of that water is lost when simply by sweating during the summer, which is why it is so incredibly important to make sure that you drink plenty of water. Though there has not been any scientific proof that there is a positive impact of water on the skin, water will feed your body cells and help keep your body hydrated from the inside, and in turn, it can help to avoid dry, itchy skin.

Use Sunscreen

Your skin needs to be protected regardless of the season, but it is particularly important to apply sunscreen during the summer to ensure that those harmful UV rays don't cause damage to the skin. Ideally, you should opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that has the ability to block both UVA and UVB rays while also thoroughly hydrating your skin.

Increase Collagen Production

Collagen is one of the most powerful proteins that has the capability of keeping the skin elastic and resilient. Unfortunately, as you age, collagen production declines. The good news is that you can help give a boost to the production of collagen by taking collagen supplements or eating certain foods that will help boost collagen production naturally like fish and berries. You may even want to talk to a medical spa service in your area that offers services like exfoliation treatments and facials that can also assist in boosting collagen.

Get Spa Treatments

Speaking of medical spa services, you may want to consider these services to help improve your skin's condition over the summertime. There are facials designed for virtually every skin type, and these facials can help revive your skin when it is feeling and looking "dull". Microdermabrasion can remove stubborn dead skin. Threading and body waxing are options as well.

The aforementioned tips will help you ensure that your skin stays looking great over the summer, which will help you feel good about the way that you look. If you want to check out the spa services that are available to rejuvenate your skin for the summer or any other season, contact a medical spa in your area.
