There's no better time than Summer to put your luminous skin on display. But just like all the hard work you're putting into your bikini body, getting beautiful skin takes some prep work. Now is your chance to lock in your beauty regimen so that by the time Fourth of July rolls around, you'll be totally radiant. From getting your exercise in to providing your body with the right nutrients, ahead are four ways to get a healthy glow for all those upcoming beach bonfires and backyard barbecues.

Get some exercise

Get your blood flowing and flush out toxins by making exercise a consistent part of your routine. While getting your sweat on can help tone muscles, it can also contribute to healthy and vibrant appearance. Some studies have shown that engaging in exercise for just 30 minutes twice a week can lead to significantly healthier-looking skin.

Drink green tea

Aside from being delicious, the benefits of green tea can also include clearer skin, even on your body. The drink is chock-full of antioxidants and nutrients, which can aid in reducing inflammation and redness, preventing wrinkles, healing blemishes, and flushing out toxins.

Apply hydrating lotion

It's important to moisturize daily if you want soft, supple skin. Apply a light, hydrating lotion that contains oatmeal to lock in moisture, prevent dryness, and replenish skin for a serious Summer glow.

Eat oranges

Get your vitamin C intake with some refreshing citrus. Load up on fruits like oranges or grapefruits, which deliver potent antioxidants and can help fight wrinkles, boost collagen production, and reduce inflammation for brighter, healthy-looking skin.
