7 Beauty Tips to Preserve, Rejuvenate and Sunproof Your Skin This Summer

It's summer, and many of us are heading to the beach. After a long, cold winter it's a relief to spend time outdoors and soak up the sun. However, before you head to Grace Bay -- or wherever your favorite beach may be -- remember to take care of your skin! Here are a few beauty tips more making sure you preserve and protect your skin while enjoying some fun in the sun. Why Does Sun Exposure Cause Wrinkles? Wrinkles and the loss of skin elasticity may seem an inevitable part of aging, but both conditions can be accelerated by exposure to the sun. The dermis (the outer layer of your skin) contains proteins called collagen and elastins, both of which are essential for keeping your skin firm. Exposure to sunlight speeds the decomposition of these proteins over time. As collagen and elastins are gradually destroyed, eventually you'll get wrinkles. Luckily there are things you can do to protect your skin while enjoying basking in the sun: 1. Use Sunscreen If you're spending the day on the beach, apply an effective sunscreen. It should be "broad spectrum" to protect against both UVA and UVB light, with at least a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Be sure to put on your sunscreen around 20 minutes before you head out into the sun. 2. Wear Sunglasses Sunglasses are typically considered to be fashion accessories, but when it comes to sun care a good pair of sunglasses will help reduce glare and, most importantly, cut down on UV rays. Choose sunglasses that maximize coverage over your eyes. Also, look for sunglasses that protect you from 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB light. This includes those labeled as "UV 400," which blocks all light rays with wavelengths up to 400 nanometers -- this covers all of UVA and UVB rays. 3. Wear a Hat, Too Choose a wide-brim hat that looks chic while giving your face and neck excellent protection from those rays. If you are out and about, and fairly active, a fitted cap with a bill may be just the solution. 4. Avoid the Sun at Midday The strong sunlight that occurs at at midday between 10am and 3pm can be particularly harmful to your skin. Take this time to relax indoors, or take an afternoon nap. If you want to stay on the beach, consider retiring to a beach tent, and stay out of the sun. 5. Reapply Sunscreen After Swimming Make sure you take time to reapply sunscreen after swimming or working out. Sweat and sea water will wash your sunscreen away leaving you vulnerable to the sun, so it pays to be diligent about reapplying sunscreen several times during the day. 6. Wash Off Sunscreen at the End of the Day After your day in the sun, take the time to wash off your sunscreen and follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to your skin. How to Recover from a Day Out in the Sun If you do get sunburned, you’ll want to nourish and soothe your skin. Water plays a surprisingly important role in maintaining the health of your skin. So, for immediate relief, drink plenty of cooling water. Other helpful remedies like aloe vera gel and vitamin E oil or compresses of cold milk, cucumber, or brewed mint tea can bring very effective relief from a burn. Spa Services at The Palms Turks and Caicos An important part of relaxation is the opportunity to completely rest, calm your mind and enhance your overall health. A spa visit can help repair your skin and keep you feeling -- and looking -- health and young. If you're staying at our resort on Grace Bay beach, the therapists at The Spa at The Palms will help you feel completely renewed by the time you leave.

Beach Workout Tips: Get In Shape at a Caribbean Spa Resort

Whether you're planning a Caribbean vacation or just spending the summer around town, beach season is just around the corner. This means it's time to uncover. And for many of us, the thought of uncovering ourselves at the beach makes us want to get in shape! It's also never too late to start getting active. In fact, there are some good workouts you can do right on the beach in front of The Palms Resort. Here are some tips, plus a short introduction to our gym. Simple Beach Workouts to Get in Shape Here are seven exercises you can do right on the beach. All you need is an exercise mat, some sunscreen. Tips for Getting Started If you’re new to sand workouts, start out on wet sand. Wet sand is firmer and provides a more stable base of support. Exercise on level sand. Running and jumping on a slope puts you in an awkward position that could cause injury. It’s crucial to stay hydrated before, during and after outdoor workouts. So. be sure to drink before you exercise, and then every 10-20 minutes during exercise or more depending on sweat loss. Beach Exercises 1. Spiderman Crawl Begin at one end in plank position and lower your body toward the sand. Simultaneously reach forward and laterally with your left hand as you draw your right knee toward your right hand. Keep your hips low and your abdominals braced. [embed]https://youtu.be/_K7rv_vFOWM[/embed] Repeat with the opposite hand/knee and continue alternating to cover the marked-off distance and back. 2. Push-up Shoulder-ups Begin in an upright plank, with your hands wider than shoulder-width distance apart. Lower into a push-up and return to plank position. [embed]https://youtu.be/jfNE9_dJN7w[/embed] Next, raise your hips and lower your chin to keep your gaze at your feet. Lower the crown of your head toward the sand, all while keeping your legs and torso ridged. Push back up through your shoulders until your arms are almost completely straight. 3. Ice Skaters Begin with your knees bent and your torso upright. With your right foot, take the first step at a 45-degree angle forward; try not to let the back leg touch the sand. Keep weight in the hip, position the knee behind the toe and push off onto your other foot at a 45-degree angle. [embed]https://youtu.be/O_DzJ2_9bjM[/embed] Your left arm follows forward with the right leg to propel the body forward. The right arm will do the same with the left leg as the weight shifts off the right hip. “Skate” 20 steps forward and return back to the starting point before moving on to the next exercise. 4. Cross-under Planks Begin in an upright plank position with your hands under your shoulders, your legs straight and your core braced. [embed]https://youtu.be/kS11zGL-VH4[/embed] Bring your right leg under your body toward your left hand by twisting the core, again keeping your leg straight and foot flexed. 5. Frog Jumps Begin in a low-squat position. Draw both arms backward and explode forward by swinging your arms and jumping forward. Land softly to catch your balance and repeat. [embed]https://youtu.be/C54LoE13DUo[/embed] Continue to frog jump from one end of your marked distance to the other and back before moving on to the next exercise. 6. Bicycle Crunch Balance just above your tailbone and flex your torso, knees and arms into 90-degree angles. Straighten your right leg while reaching your right arm forward to mimic a running gait. [embed]https://youtu.be/9FGilxCbdz8[/embed] Use your core to keep your torso upright as you balance and draw in each leg. Try to complete 30 reps! 7. Crab Walk Begin seated facing the starting point. Keep both knees bent and place your hands on the sand under your shoulders. Lift your hips off the ground as high as possible. [embed]https://youtu.be/I-3r4cl4ahA[/embed] Flexing at the ankle, begin pulling through your hamstrings and pushing with your upper body. Take small, quick steps to avoid injury to your wrists. Sun Care Working out on the beach can leave you sandy, sweaty and, quite possibly, with a sunburn. But we have just the treatment for you. The Spa at The Palms Turks and Caicos's Sun Rejuvenation Wrap is aimed at healing sun-exposed skin and helps to restore moisture and balance to the skin's layers. The treatment begins with a light dry brushing which is followed by an application of mint, cucumber, yogurt, honey and lemon. To allow the deeply soothing qualities of these ingredients to penetrate the skin, your body is wrapped in a blanket while your therapist provides a calming massage to your face and scalp. You will leave The Spa with supple and moisturized skin. You can book your spa experience online anytime you like! Fitness Centre The Palms Resort is also home to a world-class indoor gym. The Fitness Centre at The Palms, located in the Spa building, offers Cybex and Technogym equipment, complete with audio and visual screens as well as free weights.
