Hello Summer Skin!

Summer has officially checked in, cue the beach days, pool parties, and mango smoothies! But while we’re all saying hello to sunshine, it’s time to give your skin the seasonal love it deserves, too. Say goodbye to winter dullness and hello to your fresh, radiant, sun-kissed glow. Don't worry, we’ve got your back (and arms, and legs, and elbows). Beauty Care Choices has created your go-to summer skincare routine to keep things cool, calm, and beautifully collected! Say it with us: Hello, Summer Skin!

1. Shed that Winter Skin with a Good Exfoliation
Before you hit the sand, it's time to say bye-bye to dull, flaky skin. Exfoliating 1–2 times a week helps slough off dead cells and lets your skin breathe again!

Try this: The Bonblissity Body Polish Moisturizing Exfoliant (hello, smooth thighs!) is a sugar and super fine salt-based body polish infused with sweet almond oil, cacao butter, shea butter, and much more to hydrate your skin as you exfoliate.

2. Hydrate in the Shower
Yes, even your shower can be summer-savvy. Switch to a creamy, hydrating body wash that locks in moisture without being heavy. We love the Loma for Life Moisturizing Body Wash, they contain a protein blend of kale, carrot, and lemon that works together to strengthen, nourish, moisturize, and protect your skin while leaving it with a youthful glow.

3. Lighten Up Your Lotion
Your thick winter butters? They can take a vacation. Summer is all about lightweight hydration! Think aloe vera gels, whipped body creams, and fast-absorbing oils like jojoba or grapeseed. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and shea butter (in a whipped form!).

Try this: The Beauty Care Choices team loves the Cuccio Naturale Lyte Butter collection. Available in a variety of scents, these lotions are ultra-sheer, non-oily, light, and incredibly hydrating, leaving you with soft and supple skin. For a touch of tan while you moisturize, try the Aluram Golden Glow Body Lotion! Another great option if you don't want a lotion is the Earthly Body Hemp Seed Moisturizing Oil Spray. This oil is lightweight, nourishing, and incredibly hydrating to the skin.

4. SPF is Your BFF
This one's non-negotiable. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 to every exposed inch of skin! Yes, every single day, even when it's cloudy, or even when you’re "just running errands."

Pro tip: Use a dry-touch sunscreen for a non-greasy feel. We recommend the Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF50. It offers sheer protection from UV light and features a lightweight and non-greasy feeling.

5. Don’t Forget Your Feet
Sandal season is here, and your heels called and they’d like to not be crusty. Exfoliate, moisturize, and maybe treat yourself to a bright pedi color while you're at it.

Try this: The Qtica Smart Spa SmartPods, single-use pedicure sets that feature a soak, scrub, mask, and lotion to treat your feet from start to finish! Looking for more? The BCC Exclusive Pedicure Essentials Set is a great option for a full-at-home-pedi experience.

Summer Skin is Happy Skin! Your body care routine doesn't have to be complicated, just consistent. With these easy, feel-good steps, you’ll be glowing like the sun all season long!
