1. Golden Glow, Not a Burn 🧴
Nothing says summer like glowing skin, but getting there safely is key. While soaking up the sun feels amazing, overexposure can quickly turn your sweet summer into a skincare nightmare. Start every sunny day with a generous layer of SPF. Yes, even if it’s cloudy. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming. For an eco-conscious choice, go for reef-safe formulas that protect your skin and the planet. And don’t forget the often-missed spots like ears, feet, and the back of your neck!
2. Hydration = Radiance đź’§
Your skin’s glow starts from within. In the heat, your body loses water faster, so keep that reusable bottle close. Hydration helps regulate your body temperature, boosts energy, and keeps your skin soft and supple. Add slices of cucumber, mint, or citrus fruits for a refreshing twist. For your skin, look for hydrating after-sun products with aloe vera, cucumber, or hyaluronic acid to soothe and nourish after a beach day.
3. Body Love All Summer Long 🫧
Summer is not about "fixing" your body, it’s about celebrating it. Whether you’re flaunting your curves in an AYA bikini or lounging in the shade, your body deserves care, not critique. Embrace gentle exfoliation 1–2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and help your SPF and moisturizers work better. Use nourishing body oils or creams with natural ingredients like shea butter or jojoba oil to keep your skin glowing and goddess-level soft.
4. Sweet Scents, Safer Choices ✨
Many perfumes contain alcohol that can irritate sun-exposed skin. Swap your regular fragrance for a lightweight body mist or natural oil-based perfume. Look for scents with coconut, vanilla, or citrus for that perfect summer vibe without the sting. Bonus tip: Some essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus also help keep bugs away!
5. The AYA Way: Feel Good, Do Good 🧖
At AYA, we believe your summer rituals should be as kind to your body as they are to the earth. Choose biodegradable products, avoid aerosol sprays near the sea, and support brands that align with your values. Your summer glow isn’t just about looks, it’s a mindset. It’s confidence, care, and conscious choices. So slip into your favourite sustainable swimwear, apply that SPF, stay hydrated, and step into summer feeling sweet, safe, and unstoppable.
Ready to glow like the goddess you are? This summer, protect your skin, honour your body, and let your light shine, inside and out.
