Hidden beauty benefits of summer

We’re all familiar with what a golden, glowing tan and sun-lightened hair can do for our appearance. We’re also probably all familiar with what a sweet patchy sunburn and chlorine-fried hair can do as well, so summer tends to be a case of the good with the bad. Here’s a list of a few beauty benefits of summer that you may not be aware of. There’s still time to make the most of them.

Berry good for your teeth

You probably spend a good amount of time snacking on strawberries simply because they’re delicious and in-season. Good news! In addition to being healthy they’re also a natural teeth whitener. Amp up the effects of these wonder berries by investing in a bold red lipstick with blue undertones. This will help bring out the white of your teeth.

Give me an A

Juicy cantaloupe, which finds its way to many breakfast plates as well as fruit spreads in summer, is absolutely loaded with Vitamin A. Not only does Vitamin A provide your skin with anti-aging benefits, but it will also help provide your skin with a natural, healthy glow. If you can get your hands on enough quality cantaloupe from your local market, you may even be able to ditch your bronzer.

Increased hydration

You’ve probably realized that you’ve got to guzzle more water in order to keep up with your body’s hydration needs in the hot months. However, you’re probably getting a great hydration boost from somewhere you never even considered: sweet, wonderful watermelon. This fruit is loaded with water, so as long as you aren’t drilling holes in it and filling it with vodka, it’s probably doing wonders for your skin. Make sure to lock in that added hydration with a high-quality moisturizer, like the Gold Elements Mega Cream.
