5 Ways to Keep Your Skin Healthy This Summer!

If you're like me, taking care of your skin seems like a chore that you just don't want to deal with. So I am always looking for easy and fast ways to take care of my skin.

Here are some of the tips that I use daily (or try to, anyway!)

1. Drink lots and lots and looooots of water. 

I feel like since I started drinking more water my life has improved in so many ways. My acne is almost non-existent, my stress levels are down and I have that cool glow that I thought only movie stars could get. I'm pretty sure water is the key to happiness.

2. Wear sunscreen!!!

This is so hard for me, because my whole life I have been absolutely terrrrible at remembering or basically just wanting to put on sunscreen. It is so important though so I'm trying to make it a priority. You should put it on 30 minutes before going into the sun and should definitely reapply it every two hours!

3. Use coconut oil

I'm going to make a whole post about how much I adore coconut oil, but for now I'm just going to say that it is a great sunscreen and tanner! It also is a great moisturizer if you forget to use your sunscreen and get burned. I just love love love this stuff, and you can buy a jar of it in the grocery store for under $5.

4. Buy make-up with built in SPF

I feel like you can never have too much protection from the sun, so why not take that into consideration when buying your makeup?

5. Sweat, sweat, sweat!

Sure, sweating is uncomfortable and sticky, but it helps get toxins out of your body. So go for a run, bike ride, or hike! Just remember to wear your sunscreen and bring your water!
