How to Prep Your Skin for Summer (Without Overdoing It)

It’s almost glow season — but before you start exfoliating like crazy or skipping SPF for a "base tan," take a breath. At bronzebody®, we believe in smart, sustainable summer prep that works with your skin, not against it. Here’s how to get your skin sun-ready the healthy way.

Start from Within

If you want lasting glow, the work starts on the inside. bronzebody® supplements help prepare your skin for sun exposure and stress:

• GLOW: Supports melanin production with beta-carotene and tocotrienols

• GLITZ: Boosts hydration and elasticity with lutein, astaxanthin, and probiotics

• GUARD: Strengthens skin resilience with antioxidant + immune support

Start daily supplementation 1–2 weeks before your first full sun exposure for best results.

Ease Into Sun Exposure

Your skin isn’t built for all-day exposure out of nowhere. Gradual sun time:

• Helps you tan more evenly

• Reduces risk of burning

• Allows your skin’s natural defense system (like melanin) to ramp up slowly

Try 15–30 minutes of protected sun in the early mornings or late afternoons. Build up from there.

Exfoliate... Gently

Light exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and prep your skin for a more even tan. But aggressive scrubbing can disrupt your barrier and leave you more vulnerable to sun damage.

• Use a gentle scrub or dry brush 2–3x per week

• Avoid exfoliating the same day as intense sun exposure

Hydrate Like You Mean It

Hot weather and UV rays = dehydration risk. Stay ahead of it:

• Drink plenty of water (bonus: add citrus or electrolytes)

• Eat water-rich fruits and veggies

• Take hydration-supporting supplements like GLITZ

• Use a lightweight moisturizer or hydrating serum daily

Keep Your Barrier Strong

Skin prepping doesn’t mean stripping. Protect your barrier so your skin stays soft, smooth, and glowy under the sun:

• Avoid harsh treatments right before or during peak sun season

• Don’t skip moisturizer, even in hot weather

• Wear SPF every day — and reapply every 2 hours

Final Thoughts

Prepping for summer doesn’t have to mean a 10-step routine. With smart supplementation, a little patience, and barrier-friendly care, your skin can glow longer, tan more evenly, and feel healthier all season long.
