Can you feel the heat?  Along with the hot summer sun and heat comes lots of showing skin.

Here are some natural tips to keep you looking fresh and glowing:

1.  Exfoliate! Use a buff pad to slough off dry skin. If you don’t have an exfoliate product, than make your own by mixing olive oil with a half cup of sugar.

2. Apply sunscreen daily to your face, neck and chest – of course!   But don’t forget your lips – use a lip gloss with SPF.

3.  Stay hydrated. Drink tons of water.  For some extra zest (and good for detoxing), cut some lemon wedges into a tall glass of ice water and mint leaves.

4.  For natural highlights, comb some lemon juice through your hair before sitting out in the sun to achieve that natural sun–kissed look.

5.  Need a quick hair repair? Spritz some leave–in conditioner on your strands and let your hair go wild.

6.  Give yourself a homemade facial mask.  Mix 1 tablespoons of honey with 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt. Leave on for fifteen minutes and wash off.

7.  Apply Vitamin C serum on your face several times a week. Don’t forget your throat.  You can also make your own (search online for recipes).

8.  Once a week, apply 100% Vitamin E oil on your skin as well.

9.  At the end of a long summer day,  soak in a sea salt bath which is a natural skin exfoliater, with a glass of….

10.  Red wine! Studies show red wine helps with your mental and cardiovascular health.

Happy Summer!
