Tip 1: Hydrate yourself for radiant skin

Water is essential for healthy skin, so we emphasize the importance of adequate water intake.

We recommend filtered water and herbal tea. This not only helps with hydration but also supports the liver's natural detoxification process (our body's filter).

By paying close attention to or avoiding alcohol, drugs, pesticides and medications, you can reduce the burden on the liver and thus prevent the accumulation of waste products in the lymphatic vessels.

We also recommend using a mineral drink called 'Sole', which consists of a mixture of Celtic salt and water.

How do you make that?

• Fill a glass (jam) jar 1/3 full with Celtic salt and 2/3 full with water.
• Shake the mixture well; if a thin layer of salt appears on the bottom, this means the water is saturated with salt.
• You can use the sole by adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of the salt solution to a glass of water daily for a good mineral balance.
• Also works well against headaches and fatigue and has a detoxifying effect.

Bonus: Alternate your water with coconut water, herbal tea, or water with mint/lime, ginger, and/or cucumber for good hydration!

Extra tip: use filtered water to remove all chemicals. Store in a dark place. Now on to the summer nutrition tips.

Tip 2: Protect your skin from within

Diet can play a powerful role in protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Fruits like strawberries, kiwis, and blackberries are packed with vitamin C and other plant nutrients that are important as natural sun protection. Eating these fruits regularly reduces the risk of sunburn and keeps your skin healthy.

Tip 3: Eat foods rich in antioxidants

Antioxidants are essential for protecting your skin from free radical damage caused by sun exposure.

Foods like watermelon, green smoothies, mangoes, bell peppers, and fresh salads are rich in antioxidants and can help reduce sun damage. Also, avoid rancid fats like sunflower oil and margarine, and instead choose healthy fats like ghee, coconut oil, avocado, and raw nuts.

Tip 4: Light meals

During the summer months, it's important to pay attention to your digestion. The warm weather can slow down your digestion.

Therefore, choose lighter meals that are easy to digest. Think fresh salads with seasonal vegetables, grilled fish or lean poultry, and whole grains like quinoa or buckwheat. These foods contain important nutrients and fiber that give you energy and support your digestion.

Tip 5: Eat with the seasons

It is essential to listen to your body and enjoy the abundant supply of fresh, seasonal foods.

Summer offers a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables that are not only nutritious but can also nourish and protect your skin. Think juicy watermelons, sweet berries, crunchy cucumbers, and refreshing mint. Take advantage of these healthy and natural options to supplement your diet and keep your skin radiant throughout the summer months.

Extra tip: Protect your skin against UVA/UVB radiation

The last tip is not one of the summer nutritional tips, but it should not be missed.

Because protecting your skin from the inside out during the summer is crucial. As you've read, antioxidants play a key role in this, especially in protecting against harmful influences like UV radiation and pollution.

UV rays and air pollution cause free radicals that can damage healthy cells. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that protects your skin from within against UV rays and is a valuable addition to your summer skincare routine.
