Stepping into Summer: Simple Self-Care That Makes a Difference

Kate Roberts

As summer arrives and your diary fills with plans, it’s easy to let self-care slip down your priority list. But looking after yourself doesn’t have to be overwhelming or feel indulgent. Often, it’s the small, intentional steps that make the biggest difference especially when you have the right information at the right time. That’s where the health and wellness experts from number thirteen Radiance Residence come in, ready to share their top tips for boosting your health and wellbeing quickly and easily.

Whether it’s protecting & improving your skin, rebalancing the body’s natural energy. improving or giving your pelvic floor a break, these simple yet powerful tips can help you feel your best & most confident through the sunny season:

• Eat with the season. Warmer weather naturally shifts our appetite. Use this time to lighten your meals, incorporating fresh, nutrient-rich foods that support energy and mood.

• Stay hydrated. It sounds simple, but dehydration is more common than you think and can affect everything from your back health to digestion(bowel). Your body, especially your spine, depends on water to function well.

• Support your pelvic health. If you’re working on strengthening your pelvic floor, start by reducing unnecessary strain. Avoid straining during bowel movements by leaning forward, elevating your feet, and addressing constipation with professional guidance.

• Cut down on caffeine. It’s a known bladder irritant and can lead to more frequent toilet trips. Something to consider if you’re managing incontinence or bladder sensitivity.

• Protect your skin. Daily SPF is essential. A high-quality sunscreen with at least SPF 30 helps prevent long-term sun damage. Prevention really is better than cure.

• Exfoliate regularly. A weekly exfoliation routine for face and body removes dead skin, encourages healthy cell turnover, and supports lymphatic drainage for a brighter, more refreshed appearance.

• Prioritise sleep. Late summer nights can disrupt your routine, but quality sleep is when your skin and body repair. A calming wind-down ritual and a silk pillowcase can work wonders for both skin and rest.

• Double cleanse. Especially if you wear makeup or SPF, a two-step cleansing process at night ensures your skin is truly clean, helping prevent breakouts and allowing your skincare products to work more effectively.
