Summer is almost here! The weather is already starting to warm up and the sunny days are already felt. With them comes the desire to go to the beach. It's time to start swapping out your wardrobe for fresher options and getting your bikinis out of the box! But what about our skin? The winter months don't just take away your color! Avoid dry skin, with scales and the appearance of cellulite and prepare your skin for summer with our tips, based on natural products and without cruelty to animals.
Prepare your skin for summer with natural and cruelty-free products
Exfoliate
Help your skin to shed the layer of dead cells built up on the surface, revealing new, prettier and healthier skin underneath. Exfoliation also stimulates blood circulation and helps to disguise the appearance of cellulite. It also frees ingrown hairs and gives the skin a new shine and luminosity, preparing it for skirts, shorts and, of course, the bikini!
We recommend:
- To disguise cellulite: Use a coffee-based exfoliator, such as Sister & Cocoa Oil & Coffee Scrub or o Coffee & Cinnamon Body Scrub sa Isla Apothecary
- For very dry skin: O Evolve's Tropical Blossom Body Polish and o Sister & Co's Matcha Coconut Oil & Green Tea Scrub are rich in hydrating oils that help restore moisture to the skin while gently cleansing it.
- For a wonderful scent: Try Lola's Apothecary Orange Patisserie Warming Body Polish.

Epilate
After exfoliating, it's time to get rid of unwanted hair. If you do it at home, we recommend that you use a bath oil that not only helps the razor glide better, but also moisturizes the skin.
We recommend:
- Try the Bath Oils from Lola's Apothecary. All have aromatherapy properties, and help to relax while hydrating the skin.
Moisturize
Leave your skin smooth and soft with a body moisturizer. From body butters to lotions or oils, there are countless options for every taste.

Tan
Give your skin a natural, healthy touch of color with an organic self-tanning lotion. In addition to giving the skin a tanned look, the color also helps to disguise the appearance of cellulite!
We recommend:
- EcoTan Cacao Tanning Mousse by Sonya - An easy-to-apply, self-tanning foam that gives a natural tan. It can be applied just once for a smooth color, or successively for a more intense bronze look.
- Invisible Tan by EcoTan by Sonya - A self-tanning cream lotion that develops gradually, giving your skin a natural tan.
-
Evolve's Sunless Glow Body Lotion - for a less-lasting, easy-to-wash option, opt for Evolve's body lotion that adds a touch of color to the skin, without compromise
