4 Ways to Make Your Summer Glow Last

Dare we say it? Summer is coming to an end, and that means saying goodbye to sunlit evenings, breezy beach days and picnics in the park. But just because some of the summertime perks are coming to an end, it doesn’t mean that you have to say adieu to all things summer. While you’re ok with trading cute sandals for stylish fall boots, you’re not down with giving up your sun-kissed skin. And the good news is, you don’t have to.

Below are 4 sun-safe ways to stay naturally radiant the whole year through:

1. Apply A Hydrating Moisturizer To Keep Skin Glowing

We get it, applying several layers of skin care products in the mornings can be daunting - that’s why lightweight moisturizers are the way to go. 

2. Eat Your Way To A Radiant Complexion 

Autumn harvest is upon us and that means tons of nutritious fruits and veggies for the taking.

A recent study in the American Journal of Public Health found that “eating more 

fruit and vegetables can change skin tone, lending it a healthier glow, within a matter of weeks” (Medical News Today). 



How is this change in skin tone possible? Apparently, it all comes down to carotenoids, orangy-red pigments that give fruits and vegetables like carrots, yams and squash varieties their color. Even if you're not completely sold on this theory, it’s definitely worth a try. You’ve got nothing to lose - even if your skin doesn’t change in shade, eating antioxidant and nutrient-rich fruits and veggies will do wonderful things for your skin and health.

3. Invest In A Natural Bronzer

There's a fake tan gone wrong and then there's a real tan gone wrong (a.k.a. a burn). The latter is more dangerous for your skin, but both are equally unappealing. 

4. Add A Stimulating Masque To Your Beauty Routine

To bring out your inner glow - try one of our stimulating masques. A hot masque like our Eight Greens Phyto Masque — Hot uses paprika to produce a natural, healthy and rosy-looking glow. The antioxidant and vitamin-rich ingredients work together to bring out the look of radiance in your skin. If you have sensitive skin (or if spicy simply isn’t your thing), then you can try mixing our Eight Greens Phyto Masque - Hot with another complementary masque like our Calm Skin Arnica Masque. This is a good way to bring down the heat factor a few notches, but still receive the glow-y benefits.
