HOW TO GET THE SEXIEST SUMMER SKIN AND DRESS IT UP TO LOOK YOUR BEST
By Charis Michelsen for EGW GLOBAL MAGAZINE
Summer 2025
Summer offers more opportunities than any other time of year to show off your body’s largest organ-your skin. Thus, your skin’s appearance and health are at the height of importance during the summer season. While the number one rule for great-looking skin is to be gentle with your skin, there are some additional ways to care for it that also contribute to it being its best.
WHAT AFFECTS YOUR SKIN AND HOW TO ENSURE IT ALWAYS LOOKS ITS BEST
Just like your other organs, such as your heart or liver, your skin is affected by such things as:
1: What you eat or don’t eat. While genetics, heredity, and hormones play a role in your skin’s appearance, your skin’s health is largely determined by how you take care of it, and diet plays a huge role. A plant-based diet, which contains fiber, which animal products don’t, assists with elimination to detox the body and keep skin healthier. For those on a journey to maintain or reclaim great health, incorporating nutritious plant-based meals, which include powerful cancer and age-fighting antioxidants, thanks to fruits like blueberries, strawberries, and goji berries, vegetables such as kale, spinach, and artichokes, and nuts and seeds, can ensure not only better health but more beautiful-looking skin. For free plant-based recipes and more information on eating a healthier diet, visit the free streaming TV network Unchained TV. Unchained TV also offers great information on how eating a plant-based diet can help save our planet.
2: Taking prescription medications or dietary supplements. If your skin has been negatively impacted by taking a prescription medication, contact your doctor for suggestions for alternative treatments, such as dietary supplements. Dietary supplements that are right for you can improve your health and thus the health and appearance of your skin. Vitavate, a powdered dietary supplement that’s added to water to create a delicious drink, contains prebiotics that help regulate bowel movements, improve bone density, improve immune system function, decrease inflammation and bad bacteria that can cause disease, and increase good bacteria. Vitavate, which comes in pocket-sized packets that are convenient for on-the-go use, also contains vitamins E and A, two powerful antioxidants, and B6, choline, and agave inulin for mental clarity and focus.


3: The environment and products you use on your skin. The environment, which can damage the skin via the sun and toxins, can negatively affect the appearance of the skin. Thankfully, several products can aid in reversing environmental damage and greatly improve the appearance of the skin
Marigoldbub’s Face Polish can reduce the appearance of dark spots and rough and dull-looking skin caused by sun damage, thanks to pineapple & papaya extracts. To keep your skin youthful-looking, wear a mineral sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 during the day, as the sun is responsible for 80% of visible aging signs. Apply an appropriate amount of sunscreen to your face and any other areas exposed to the elements.
NOTE: If you have naturally darker knees and/or elbows, etc., apply sunscreen with a higher SPF to those areas, so they don’t become darker.
Miracle-48™ revitalization skincare system that contains MSC exosomes, which consists of a Revitalization Serum, a Skin Hydrating Lotion, an Orchid-Rich Moisture Cream, and Bio-Cellulose Facial Masks can reverse and prevent the appearance of aging. Miracle-48™ Revitalization Serum is powered by exclusive MSC® Technology and contains 48 skin-revitalization factors encapsulated with advanced Microsphere technology to deeply deliver 10 million Microspheres per milliliter and 800 million exosome-derived factors per milliliter to visibly transform your skin by encouraging new skin cell production and stimulating collagen for firmer and smoother looking skin. Miracle-48™ Skin Hydrating Lotion contains ceramide to restore the skin’s oil-water balance for a fresh dewy glow that lasts, hydrating hyaluronic acid that leaves skin smooth, soft, and beautifully bouncy, and Centella Asiatica Extract that strengthens the skin’s natural barrier for a healthier and more radiant look. Miracle-48™ Orchid-Rich Moisture Cream is pure luxury, as it contains a drop of essence from one-thousand Phalaenopsis orchids, to deeply hydrate and create a radiant glow. Miracle-48 Bio Cellulose Face Masks, which come in ten to a pack, visibly renew and repair the skin in only fifteen minutes, so it looks refreshed, revitalized, and renewed for up to seven days. The Miracle-48™ revitalization skincare system by Beauty Stem Biomedical will not only rejuvenate your skin but help it stay beautiful.


Champione by Miliva is another brand dedicated to healing skin and keeping it youthful-looking. Champione by Miliva’s products, such as its Panacea Youth Longevity Serum, include unique, high-frequency ingredients that aid in creating and maintaining great skin, such as tree resins that increase cellular metabolism, fight toxic free radicals, assist in wound healing, and preserve youth. As an alternative to traditional tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation, try Champione by Miliva’s Multifunctional 5-in-1 Skin Saver. It comes in three sheer shades: light, medium and dark to help even skin tone, exfoliate, moisturize, and protect skin from the sun while giving it a glow. Swap out your traditional powder with Champione by Miliva’s organic, breathable Healing Bark and Setting Powder which includes clays that control excess oil, detoxify the skin, unclog pores, and equalize skin tone. Plus, it contains enhancers that promote blood circulation, collagen production, healing, and more. This powder prolongs the life of your Multifunctional 5-in-1 Skin Saver, or other makeup products when worn over top.
Ocean Body Balm creates a stellar unisex product that helps to keep skin looking its best: its Ocean Body Balm. This miracle product is non-greasy and has several uses such as to alleviate rough skin and help treat cuts, psoriasis, eczema, acne, and stretch marks, so skin can be its most beautiful. You can apply Ocean Body Balm to your skin at any time, but it’s best to apply it after a shower or bath on clean skin.
Nanogenesis Labs’ Mind Expander works to alleviate toxins and plastics in your body without side effects, so you can be your most healthy, which will reflect via your skin. Nanogenesis Labs’ Mind Expander uses C60, an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms, to deliver adenosine triphosphate, an organic compound that provides energy to drive many processes into living cells. The Mind Expander also contains glutathione, a powerful antioxidant produced by the body that protects cells from damage and supports detoxification and immune function. It plays a key role in maintaining health and defending against environmental stresses, making it essential for overall well-being.


4. Getting good sleep. “Beauty sleep” is called that for a reason. Good quality sleep doesn’t just help refresh the body, it helps heal it, which includes your skin. A lack of good sleep, or getting less than seven hours of high-quality sleep each night, can cause the body to become dehydrated, which can have a negative effect on the appearance of the skin such as premature aging and increased sensitivity. Not getting enough sleep can also exacerbate rosacea.
Braineaxe Sleep Reanimator gummies offer relaxation from stress for better quality sleep and recovery. Braineaxe Sleep Reanimator gummies are delicious and formulated with a powerful blend of natural adaptogens and amino acids, such as ashwagana, gaba, L-theanine, lemon balm, and chamomile, to relax your mind and body and ease you into a deep, restorative sleep. This vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO product will help you wake up feeling refreshed, recovered, and with more mental clarity and improved energy levels.
Staying hydrated starts with drinking water, another very important ingredient to having great-looking skin. Abstaining from alcohol consumption also helps, as alcohol is very dehydrating for the body; and of course, smoking is another thing that one shouldn’t do to maintain healthy skin.
Purium’s AquaVibrance infuses, oxygenates, and restructures water for optimal hydration and cellular support. It also improves the ability of the body to transport electrolytes and energy efficiently, and it mimics the structure of natural spring water, making it easier for cells to absorb, which supports having more energy and vitality. Transform your everyday drinking water into something as pure and revitalizing as artesian spring water with just a few drops of Aqua Vibrance.
5. Getting exercise and reducing stress. Physical activity helps increase circulation and reduce toxins and stress, which can give the skin a healthy glow. Exercise also keeps muscles and bones strong, improves balance, and slows aging. While getting regular exercise, such as a favorite form of aerobic exercise for twenty to thirty minutes a day, it’s important to employ good posture, as your organs function better when you your body is in proper alignment.
BAX-U, a lightweight, breathable, and sweat-resistant line of activewear worn by professional athletes and celebrities, is engineered to support your spine’s natural alignment and retrain your posture. BAX-U activewear can be worn under or over clothing, whether you're working out, working at the office, recovering, or on the move throughout the day. BAX-U’s adjustable fit, biotraction support, and quick latch system has your back to help you get and maintain great posture.
TOP CELEBRITY SKIN TREATMENT SECRETS TO BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Treatments that beautify the skin, such as those that reduce the appearance of unsightly veins on the face or body can contribute to having more confidence and loving your body even more. Celebrities get the inside scoop on how to maintain their skin via top treatments and which doctors are the best in the business. Dr. Saul Lahijani, affectionately known as “Dr. Saul,” has several premier office locations in Southern California to serve people from around the globe, and is the expert to contact for vein treatments, to reduce and remove the appearance of unsightly veins. His excellent bedside manner immediately places patients at ease, and his attention to micro detail guarantees he will provide the best results. Despite being a top celebrity plastic surgeon with over a decade of rigorous training, demanding fellowships, internships, and residencies that have allowed him to build a versatile, rock-solid foundation for his practice, his vein treatments are affordable. They also require very little downtime and require only a few treatments to gain top-notch results. With approximately three treatments, spaced approximately one month apart, a patient will watch their broken, red, blue, and raised veins disappear to see beautiful, smoother, and more even-looking skin. Dr. Saul’s laser vein treatments take approximately ten minutes to perform, so a patient can conveniently schedule a treatment within a busy day and then assume their regular activities that same day.
Another non-invasive beautifying skin treatment that offers excellent results is the non-surgical facelift by Lyev Beverly Hills. Enjoy this painless treatment that provides immediate and lasting results while interacting with Lyev Beverly Hills’ friendly and accommodating staff.
