The rays of the sun at dawn, the nap on the warm sand, the cool walks along the water's edge... There are countless reasons to love summer.

To help you take care of yourself and enjoy the beach, we wanted to give you some tips to prepare your skin for the sun and enjoy the summer with peace of mind.

 

Gentle exfoliation

To eliminate dead skin cells accumulated during the winter, consider exfoliation. Once a week, perform a gentle scrub to refine skin texture and deeply cleanse pores while making skin ultra-soft. In addition to detoxifying the skin, exfoliation helps achieve a more even and longer-lasting tan.

At On The Wild Side, we offer our Exfoliating Mask , a 2-in-1 product that provides effective yet gentle exfoliation. Enriched with rice powder, it offers mechanical exfoliation thanks to very fine grains that are non-irritating to the skin. Fruit acids (blueberry, sweet orange peel extract, and lemon) provide enzymatic exfoliation, leaving skin soft and replenished, ready for tanning.

Daily hydration

During sunny days, hydration is essential for beautiful skin. Complete your exfoliation with a moisturizer. Indeed, the drier your skin, the more likely it is to suffer from the sun. So to avoid crocodile skin on the beach, moisturize your face and body every day and drink at least 1.5 liters of water. Depending on your preferences, you can opt for a cream, balm, gel, mousse, or even an oil.

At On The Wild Side, facial hydration is one of our essential routines. Perfect for summer, the ultra-fine, dry, and light Skin Care Oil is composed of high-quality plant oils that will deeply and lastingly hydrate your skin. Enriched with active ingredients derived from wild plants, birch sap, and beech bud, the oil regenerates the skin and strengthens its natural reserves, to enhance the natural strengthening process of the epidermis. Very pleasant to use, it can also be applied to the hair to restore shine.

Good Foods

Vitamins are essential to prepare your skin for the sun. A varied and balanced diet provides your skin with everything it needs to glow.

For a perfect tan, choose colorful fruits and vegetables like melon, carrots, mango, tomatoes, and peppers. Rich in antioxidants, they protect not only the skin but also the entire body.

• Foods rich in beta-carotene, known to protect the skin and give a healthy glow: carrots, tomatoes, mangoes, oranges, sweet potatoes or apricots.
• Foods rich in vitamin A, which also protects the skin: cheese, whole eggs, parsley or green vegetables.
• Essential fatty acids, which promote skin regeneration: salmon, tuna, sardines, grape seed oil, etc.

Happy Summer!
