Ready for Summer?

-

Sweating out the summer? Here are some tips to keep you beautiful and healthy throughout the heat.

-First, don’t forget your biodegradable, petroleum free, marine safe sunscreen.

-You’ve gotta protect your face with a sustainably made sunhat.

-If you’re sick of the daily bout with a razor, try waxing your legs instead. Moom wax is made of truly natural, virtually edible ingredients.

-Keep your skin well-exfoliated with organic body scrub.

-This is the perfect time of year to exercise outside. You may not be fit enough for beach yoga, but even yard work counts! Do some stretching on the grass, run in the park, or organize a group game with the neighbors.

-Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water, of course, and eat sweet, hydrating fruit for lunch. Here’s a fantastic recipe for luxurious fruit salad.

-The driest time of the year is also the most important time to conserve water. Here are 14 pretty painless water conservation tips that everyone needs to know.

Enjoy your summer, everyone. I hate to say it, but turn off your computer (yes, sniff, step away from EcoSalon) and go outside! We’ll still be here when you’re ready to come inside and cool off.
