How Prepare Your Body for the Beach Time appeared first on OLENA.
If you are just starting preparing for the beach season, Yahoo! shares great tips that will make your routine easier and more effective.
While tweaking your diet and exercise routine will get you looking and feeling great, it takes time to see results.
While you continue doing it, getting your skin silk soft and glowing is possible and necessary. Here are some quick DIY fixes to improve your body from head to toe and boost your confidence when it’s time to wear skin-baring clothes.Exfoliation at Home
Depending on your skin type and preferences there are many methods to try. You can use a gommage like Koh Gen Do Soft Gommage Spa Gel ($45) which gently exfoliates even the most sensitive skin.

Hair Removal Tips
Make sure you use your razor, wax, or depilator the day before you’re going out in the sun and surf to avoid redness, irritation, and burns (raw skin = sensitive to UV rays and sunscreen). When it comes to razors, the Yahoo! Beauty staff is obsessed with the shave you get from Harry’s Truman razor ($10), and the new Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle Razor ($18) which includes a curve-sensing razor on one side and a battery-operated bikini trimmer on the other.
Properly Hydrate Your Skin
Drink enough water and keep moisture in the skin. The key to locking in moisture is applying body oil or lotion while your skin is still damp. Almost any lotion makes this easy; you might benefit from keeping your moisturizers by the shower.
Faking a Tan is an Option
Applying self tanner not only makes your skin look bronze, it can also make your body look slimmer and more toned, and mask any unevenness, blemishes, or bruises.
Prepare Your Feet too
Cracked feet and nasty toes can ruin the whole look, so give yourself a simple DIY pedicure. Use a pumice stone or body scrub in the shower to remove dry, scaly skin.
