Fit and active in the summer
Summer is the perfect time to spend plenty of time outdoors. Even small physical activities help get your circulation going, recharge your batteries, and make you feel better overall. It doesn’t have to be an intense workout or a gym membership—many sports can be easily and flexibly integrated into your daily routine. Just 20 to 30 min. of exercise a day can have a positive effect on your health and well-being.
Which sports are particularly suitable for summer? Light endurance and movement-based sports that take place outdoors and gently activate the body are especially popular in the summer.
Cycling: Whether a leisurely ride or something a bit more athletic—cycling builds muscle and endurance without putting excessive strain on the joints. Swimming: Swimming is perfect, especially on hot days. The water cools the body, relieves pressure on the joints, and simultaneously works nearly all muscle groups. Walking, light jogging, or Nordic walking: Even a short walk in nature stimulates the heart and circulation, improves blood flow, and boosts endurance. Gentle movements promote flexibility, balance, and relaxation—ideal for both body and mind.
Summer Skincare Tips
When temperatures rise and the sun draws us outdoors, your skin needs special care. Heat, UV rays, and dry air can quickly stress the skin and strip it of the moisture it needs. Light, refreshing formulas provide ideal support during this time and are particularly soothing. Ingredients such as aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, or prickly pear extracts help keep your skin supple and fresh while stabilizing its moisture balance.
To thoroughly remove sweat and environmental and product residue from the skin’s surface, daily cleansing in the morning and evening is essential.
The sun gives us warmth, energy, and a good mood—but for our skin, intense sunlight also poses a major challenge. While UV rays promote vitamin D production, too much sun can cause lasting damage to the skin. Sunburn, premature aging, and pigmentation spots are common consequences of excessive UV exposure.
It is therefore particularly important to be mindful of sun exposure: plenty of shade, protective clothing, and regular application of sunscreen help keep your skin healthy and radiant throughout the summer months. Sunscreen products for the face and body with a sufficiently high SPF should be part of your daily routine, because well-cared-for skin is, above all, protected skin.
For perfect skincare, use prevention+ by IMAGE. Advanced moisturizers with broad-spectrum sun protection against UVA/UVB. Medical studies confirm that sun exposure, environmental pollution, stress, and smoke are the main causes of skin cancer and premature skin aging. Protect your skin daily with a moisturizer from IMAGE that is tailored to your skin type.
