Summer Wellness: Simple Habits That Make a Big Impact
At Drip Into Wellness, we believe that feeling your best doesn't require extremes—just consistent, intentional habits that support your whole body. Summer brings its own challenges and opportunities, so now is the perfect time to refresh your wellness routine with small shifts that make a big difference.
Here are some simple but powerful wellness practices to keep you energized, protected, and thriving all season long:
✨ Use Only Non-Toxic Products
Your skin is your largest organ—and it absorbs what you put on it. Choosing non-toxic personal care and household products can significantly reduce your body's toxic load. This supports hormone balance, immune function, and overall vitality. Avoid ingredients like parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, phthalates, BHA, and BHT. Start with everyday products like deodorant, body lotion, and cleaning sprays. Use resources like ewg.org to look up ingredient safety and find cleaner alternatives. Your future self will thank you.
💧 Drink Water First Thing in the Morning
You wake up dehydrated. Before you reach for coffee, drink a full glass of water to kickstart your digestion, hydrate your cells, and boost your brain. For optimal hydration, try adding 1/4 teaspoon of Celtic sea salt to your morning water—this helps improve cellular hydration and supports mental clarity. If you're healthy and have no known kidney, liver, or heart issues, aim to drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of water per day. Always check with your primary care physician before starting new hydration goals. Staying hydrated supports clearer skin, better energy, and even weight management.
🛌 Get Plenty of Rest Every Night
Sleep is foundational. Without it, your body struggles to recover, regulate hormones, and maintain a strong immune system. Aim for 7–9 hours per night. For optimal sleep quality, keep your bedroom between 60–67°F—being too hot can interrupt REM sleep. Avoid heavy meals within two hours of bedtime and limit alcohol intake, both of which can disrupt your sleep cycle. Create a calming bedtime routine with screen-free time, magnesium supplementation, and a cool, dark sleep space.

☀️ Get Sunlight and Fresh Air
Try to get 15 minutes of morning sunlight before 10 AM—it can significantly improve your sleep-wake cycle. Be mindful to stay out of direct sunlight during peak UV hours (10 AM–4 PM) to protect your skin and prevent overheating. Step outside, take a walk, or simply sit in the sun and breathe deeply. Even 10–15 minutes of sunlight can boost your mood, energy, and vitamin D levels. Natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythm, supporting better sleep and mental clarity.
🔥 Summer Do's & Don'ts
DO:
Use Products with Vitamin C & E: These antioxidants help protect your skin from sun damage and environmental stressors while boosting radiance.
Double Up on Sun Protection: Layer SPF with hats, sunglasses, and shade for full defense. Wear mineral based SPF of 50+ and reapply every two hours.
Apply Lightweight Moisturizer: Your skin still needs hydration in the heat—opt for non-greasy formulas that allow your pores to breathe.
Get a Hydrating IV: Replenish fluids and electrolytes quickly. Our IV therapy ensures 100% absorption to beat the heat and fatigue.
DON'T:
Take More Than Two Showers a Day: Over-washing strips your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated.
Stay in the Sun Too Long: Avoid direct exposure during peak hours (10 AM–4 PM) to prevent overheating and skin damage.
Use Oily, Heavy Skincare: Thick creams can clog pores and trap sweat, leading to breakouts.
Drink Water Rarely: Thirst is a late sign of dehydration—sip water consistently throughout the day.
