Hydrated skin and relaxed muscles: the formula for enjoying summer

Summer is a time to spend more time outdoors, engage in more physical activity, and, in many cases, be more exposed to the sun. However, this increase in activity also places greater demands on our body—especially on the skin and muscles. To truly enjoy summer, it’s essential to apply a simple yet foolproof formula: keep your skin hydrated and your muscles relaxed.

This combination is not only possible but also more effective when approached together. With the right products, both beauty professionals and athletes can incorporate body care routines that combine hydration, recovery, and prevention. In this article, we’ll show you how to achieve that ideal formula to enjoy summer without compromising the health of your skin or muscles. Because in summer, more than ever, well-being starts with the body.

Why is it important to care for your skin and muscles in summer?

With the arrival of heat, the skin becomes more easily dehydrated, loses elasticity, and becomes more sensitive to sunlight. Additionally, sweat, chlorine, and sea salt can disrupt its natural balance. At the same time, increased physical activity—common during this season—leads to muscle tension, overexertion, and, if not managed properly, discomfort that affects performance and overall well-being.

That’s why, during the warmer months, our skin and body are under extra stress:

  • Greater sun exposure, which can lead to dryness, premature aging, or dark spots.
  • Frequent bathing in chlorinated or salt water, which damages the skin’s hydrolipid barrier.
  • Increased outdoor physical activity, causing muscle strain, tension, and even micro-injuries.

Providing targeted care during this time of year is key to preventing damage and promoting overall well-being.

Skin care: signs of dehydration

Summer demands special attention to the body, as the combination of heat, sun, and physical activity can cause alterations to both the skin and the muscles. Identifying early signs of skin dehydration and muscle overload allows you to act in time and prevent more severe discomfort.

Tight, rough, or flaky skin

One of the first symptoms of dehydrated skin is a persistent feeling of tightness or dryness, even after showering. This condition worsens after sun exposure or contact with salt water or pool chlorine, which compromise the skin’s protective barrier.

Uman moisturizing creams or Dr. Kraut body exfoliants are excellent products to restore the skin’s natural hydration and softness. Available in different formulas tailored to each need, they stand out for their light texture and quick absorption, making them an ideal choice for daily summer care.

Redness or burning sensation after sun exposure

Prolonged sun exposure—even with protection—can cause irritation and redness, especially in sensitive skin or after outdoor activities. These signs can lead to discomfort or premature aging if not treated properly.

After sun exposure, it's essential to provide a calming and regenerating effect. Creams with aloe vera or massage oils, enriched with nourishing ingredients, soothe the skin and help keep it elastic and comfortable.

Muscle care: signs of overload

Heavy legs and muscle fatigue

In summer, it’s common to walk more, spend long hours on your feet, or engage in outdoor sports. All of this, combined with heat, can cause an unpleasant feeling of heavy legs or muscle fatigue. Although common, it shouldn’t be overlooked: if left untreated, it can lead to inflammation or more intense discomfort.

To relieve tired legs, OXD products are highly recommended. The OXD intense cold gel or the arnica + harpago recovery gel provide immediate relief and help relax the muscles and support better recovery, preventing cramps or strain.

Spending just a few minutes on body care can make a big difference in how you feel each day. Especially in summer, when heat puts both your skin and muscles to the test.

Extra tips for a complete summer routine

  • Internal hydration: drink water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty.
  • Avoid peak sun hours when exercising or being exposed to sunlight.
  • Do gentle stretching after every workout or walk.
