Summer’s knocking, sis—and so is your glow. But the kind of glow we’re talking about isn’t just about highlighter and lip balm. It’s about taking care of your skin and your soul, so you shine from the inside out. Whether you’re poolside or beach-bound, working a 9 to 5 or chasing your dreams, Ugly Essentials has you covered with clean, confidence-boosting beauty for him and her.

Let’s talk about how to get your summer glow-up the right way.

☀️ Protect the Glow with Sunscreen

We love the sun, but the sun doesn’t always love us back. UV rays can damage your skin—causing dark spots, dryness, and early signs of aging. That’s why sunscreen isn’t just for beach days—it’s for every day.

🔆 Tip: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Reapply every two hours if you’re outside. Pair it with our Glow Hydration Oil for that perfect dewy finish without the grease.

🥗 Eat Like You Love Yourself

Glowing skin starts in the kitchen. Antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, sweet potatoes, and avocados feed your skin from within. And don’t sleep on Omega-3s—salmon, flaxseed, and walnuts help keep your skin plump and radiant.

🥒 Glow Tip: Add lemon to your water for a vitamin C boost and to flush toxins that dull your skin.

💧 Stay Hydrated

Your skin is thirsty, and no moisturizer in the world can fix what dehydration breaks down. Drink water like it’s your beauty serum—because it kind of is. Hydrated skin = soft, smooth, glow-for-days skin.

💧 Pro Tip: Keep a cute reusable water bottle with you. Make it part of your aesthetic.

🏃🏾 Move That Body

Sweat isn’t the enemy—it’s your skin’s way of detoxing. Whether it’s a full workout or just a walk in the sunshine, exercise boosts blood flow, clears pores, and gives your cheeks that natural, healthy glow.

🔥 Bonus: Moving your body also boosts your mood, confidence, and energy—which means you look and feel better.

🌻 Soak Up the Joy (and the Sunshine)

Glow isn't just skin-deep—it’s joy, confidence, and peace of mind. Take time to unplug. Dance in the kitchen. Sit in the sun with a good book. Love your body, your skin, and the journey you’re on.

🌞 Ugly Essentials is here for it all—with clean products that love you back.

Embrace Self-Care

Self-care is vital for your skin and mental health. Take a moment each day for yourself. Whether it’s a refreshing face mask or a peaceful bath, these little rituals count. They can add to your inner glow and help you shine even more.

Nourish Your Skin

Include nourishing ingredients in your skincare routine. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and natural oils. These ingredients hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, giving it a natural glow.

Reset with Nature

Spending time in nature can be incredibly refreshing. Whether it's a hike, a picnic, or just sitting in a park, connecting with the earth brings balance. The fresh air and natural sunlight can greatly benefit your mood and your skin.

Wrap-Up: You don’t need to be perfect to glow—you just need to be you. Stay protected, stay hydrated, and show up for yourself every day. That’s the real summer glow.
