Glowing skin should be an essential part of your summer holiday prep! The sooner you commit to a healthy skin routine the better so you feel all aglow as you head off on your travels.
That’s why Efamol®’s nutritionist Emma Bullock-Lynch has pulled together her top five tips for healthy-looking, summer skin.
- ALL about the SPF! Although we should consider a level of UV protection all year round, the summer months are when we need to ramp this up. Ensure you are using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that will protect you not just from UVB but also UVA and apply it liberally, evenly and regularly. Wearing hats, sunglasses and seeking out the shade are also, really important.
- Drink plenty of WATER: Hydration is crucial for skin health, especially in summer when heat and sun exposure can lead to dehydration. The general recommendation is 6-8 cups (about 1.5-2 litres) of water daily, though individual needs may vary. Eating water-rich fruits and vegetables (e.g., cucumbers, watermelon) and reducing caffeine intake (which can dehydrate) are also good practices.
- EAT THE Rainbow: Consuming a variety of plant-based foods provides a wealth of antioxidants, including polyphenols, and can help maintain a healthy, radiant complexion and protect against environmental damage. Foods like cooked tomatoes (rich in lycopene, a type of carotenoid), green tea (abundant in catechins, a class of polyphenols), and dark chocolate (with high cocoa content, packed with flavonols) are excellent sources of these skin-loving nutrients.
- Get more SLEEP. Lack of sleep will not only impact your skin and appearance on the outside but hinder skin repair and collagen production from the inside. Avoiding screens before bed (blue light disrupts melatonin production), establishing a consistent sleep schedule, and relaxing routines (e.g., lavender baths) improve sleep quality.
- Supplement with EFAMOL EVENING PRIMROSE OIL now with a NEW improved formula, which includes natural Vitamin E to help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet or healthy lifestyle.
