Ready, set, summer: here are 3 secrets for skin ready to shine under the sun

I'm walking on sunshine, wooah: we challenge you to find a line in a song that represents the summer better than this! Because summer is just that: the season of those catchy hits you can't stop humming, not even on Monday mornings at the office. The season of weekends at the beach (and traffic jams on the highway). The season of "never have I needed a vacation like this year!"

But if beaches and relaxation are now around the corner, the summer air - most of the time - also brings with it the anxiety for the dreaded swimsuit season, an annoying discomfort at the thought of revealing and showing your body, hidden for months under clothes. Ok, now breathe and repeat with us: no stress. Forget drastic diets, ruthless personal trainers, and endless hours in the gym: passing the swimsuit test with flying colours, for you, must mean enjoying your body, enhancing its shapes, accepting its natural uniqueness and imperfections. In short? Finally feeling good - and comfortable - with yourself and in your skin!

And we are here to help you achieve this important awareness, reminding you how your beauty inevitably comes from your well-being: follow Rhea Cosmetics' 3 tips to (re)discover healthy and beautiful skin, a body in full shape and... who's afraid of the swimsuit test?

1. Goodbye dry and dull skin, welcome summer…

For soft and radiant skin, ready for the swimsuit test, the number one secret on our list is exfoliation. Exfoliating the body 1 or 2 times a week, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels, proves crucial in eliminating dead cells, roughness, and impurities, while stimulating circulation and promoting cellular renewal, for visibly smoother skin texture. This way, you can get rid of dry, dull, and greyish skin, uncomfortable reminders of the past winter, and regenerate body and spirit in preparation for summer!

Furthermore, if you choose a product capable of uplifting your mood, promoting well-being, and inducing positive emotions... you've truly hit the jackpot: we're talking, of course, about HappyScrub: the new body scrub cleanser from Rhea Cosmetics, enriched with Cannabis Stem Cells which - combined with a soft, pearly texture, and gourmand, vanilla, and fruity olfactory notes - contribute to the neurocosmetic function of the product, stimulating happiness and promoting skin wellness, which immediately appears healthier and more radiant. The body is gently cleansed and exfoliated, in one simple step: the skin texture is refined, leaving it soft and smooth to the touch and sight.

An innovative and unconventional ingredient like Cannabis Sativa stem cells isn't enough for you? If you're looking for something even more special, then go for our ExfoGel: a hydrogel that, thanks to the acidic component of Apple Extract, provides an extremely gentle exfoliation that doesn't irritate the skin. It's special because, unlike most exfoliants, it absolutely does not need to be rinsed off: it would be a real shame to waste the precious combination of Vitamin E, Vitamin B, Zinc, Copper and Iodine contained in its Jojoba spheres which melt when you rub it on the skin, effectively preventing the appearance of dryness and dehydration.

And yes, now, you have no more excuses: you really can't postpone that waxing appointment any longer!

2. Yes to (self) tanning: what a radiant complexion it brings!

You look in the mirror and that pale, dull, and greyish complexion just doesn't sit well with you? We've advised you to be kind to yourself, but also to act proactively and positively towards changes that can make your skin happier. Here we are, ready to unveil our secret number 2, which lies in self-tanning treatment: the best, quickest, and most effective solution to achieve a radiant and sun kissed complexion, despite the May showers and safe from the damage of UV rays.

On well-exfoliated and hydrated skin, in order to achieve a uniform and longer-lasting result, apply our AutoSun, the iconic Face & body tanning spray by Rhea Cosmetics, 2 or 3 times a week: activated by DHA, a natural molecule of sugarcane origin that triggers a gentle self-tanning process upon contact with the skin, the formula provides a refined, very natural, and even amber coloration. Not only that: with Aloe Vera juice, regenerating and moisturizing, it also soothes and calms even the most sensitive and dehydrated skin. With or without the sun, you are now ready to flaunt an enviable golden tan!

P.S. If you already have plans for the first weekends at the beach, start preparing your skin for sun exposure with our award-winning RevitalSummer, named "Best Sun Care Product" at the Cosmoprof Awards 2024: the PRE-SUN blend, in particular, will prepare your skin by activating melanin production. Apply it to your face, neck, and décolleté for 15 consecutive days before sun exposure, once a day, in the evening, for an unprecedented and safe tan. From the first exposure onwards, then, apply the POST-SUN blend - again for 15 consecutive days, once a day, in the evening - to repair the skin from photo-induced damage and preserve cellular vitality.

In the sun, always apply your SPF protection generously and wear a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection.

3. The swimsuit test? Just another excuse to take care of yourself!

If you truly want to be in top shape, ready for the most beautiful season of the year, our ultimate secret, number 3, is the definitive one: the swimsuit test becomes the perfect opportunity to dedicate time to yourself, to carve out rejuvenating and invigorating moments just for you. Find the nearest Rhea beauty salon, and choose the ideal Face or Body Treatment for you: facial care should not be overlooked in preparation for summer, as it plays an important - indeed decisive - role in the race to look more beautiful and confident in a swimsuit, as well as in strengthening and protecting the skin so that it doesn't suffer from the sun's rays.
