Skin Health & Summer: Your Inside-Out Glow Guide

At NWIH, we believe summer skincare is more than SPF and serums. True skin health starts beneath the surface. Here’s what Christina recommends focusing on this season:

1. Hydration: More Than Just Water

Hydrated skin = dewy, plump, and resilient.

• Drink plenty of water daily
  
  
• Add electrolytes for better absorption
  
  
• Try IV therapy for fast hydration, especially after travel, heat, or outdoor activities
  
  

Pro tip: Dehydrated skin can look dull and feel tight. If you’ve been in the sun, replenish from the inside out.

2. Inflammation: The Glow Killer

Too much sun, sugar, stress, or alcohol? Your skin will tell you.

Common signs of internal inflammation:

• Redness or rashes
  
  
• Breakouts or cystic acne
  
  
• Puffiness or irritation
  
  

What helps:

• Cut back on sugar + alcohol
  
  
• Focus on protein-rich, whole foods
  
  
• Shop your local farmers market—now’s the time for fresh produce and anti-inflammatory foods!
  
  

3. Blood Flow: Movement = Glow

Exercise increases circulation, which helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to skin cells.

• Don’t skip your workouts!
  
  
• Walking, strength training, and even sweating helps detox skin
  
  
• Stagnant lifestyle = stagnant skin
  
  

Move your body, and your skin will reflect it.

4. Medical-Grade Skincare: Barrier Support is Everything

Protect your skin before and after sun exposure with skincare that works.

Christina’s go-to summer picks:

• SkinBetter Tone Smart SPF – pigment-adaptive, blends beautifully
  
  
• Colorescience SPF – lightweight, breathable sun protection
  
  
• Antioxidant serums – to combat free radical damage
  
  
• Barrier-repairing moisturizers – to restore and strengthen
  
  
• Gentle exfoliants and cleansers – to keep skin clear without over-stripping
  
  

Your skin needs both protection and repair—especially in the summer heat.

Bottom Line: Your Skin Reflects How You Care for Your Whole Body

Skin is an outward reflection of what’s happening inside.

Whether it’s:

• Nutrition
  
  
• Hormones
  
  
• Stress levels
  
  
• Skincare products
  
  

Summer is the perfect time to support your skin holistically.
