Here are our top tips for getting ready for the upcoming bathing suit season.

Get Active and Tone Up

Even if you’re not into working out and hitting the gym on a daily basis, setting the goal to tone up can make a huge difference in your confidence level. Toning up your body also means you’ll be making it stronger, which is healthier for you overall. 

There are a number of ways you can tone your body, including Yoga, Pilates, walking, biking, and dancing.

Boost Your Hydration Levels

Here’s a really easy tip that shouldn’t just be used at swimsuit season, but all year-round. Boosting your hydration levels will help to make your skin appear healthier, softer, and more glowing, all of which gives you confidence. 

If you have a hard time drinking enough water in the day, or keeping track of how much you have drank, invest in a good quality refillable water bottle with measurements on it. This will allow you to easily track how much water you have had, and how much more you need to drink to hit your daily goal.

Address Stretch Marks that May Have You Feeling Self-Conscious

For those who may have stretch marks and in turn feel self-conscious about them, now is the time to address it. If you’re asking “what to do about stretch marks”, there are actually a number of procedures you can look into. You can start with lotions and topical treatments that help to fade the look of them, but if that isn’t enough, you can step things up. For deeper and more noticeable stretch marks there is laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion, and microneedling. Each has their own pros and cons so it’s a good idea to research all your options.

Find the Perfect Bathing Suit

Of course, even with these tips you still want to be sure you pick a bathing suit that fits comfortably, allows you to move around with ease, and that complements your body type and shape. Don’t be afraid to experiment with color and patterns, and even step outside your comfort zone a little. Sometimes a beautiful well-fitting bathing suit is all it takes to provide you with confidence.

Each of these simple tips and tricks are easy to follow and include in your lifestyle and will help to build your confidence and get you ready for the upcoming 2021 bathing suit season.
