With summer right around the corner, there’s no better time than now to begin prepping our hair and skin for those sun-filled poolside days to come. Read on to see what Gaston’s Salon in New Braunfels, TX recommends to prep your hair and skin just in time for summer!
Exfoliate
During the winter, humidity levels drop, causing the skin to be depleted of its natural oils and moisture and appear lackluster. The best way to quench thirsty skin, and give yourself that dewy glow, is to exfoliate away the buildup of dry, dead skin cells.
To show your most radiant skin, try Aveda’s Beautifying Radiance Polish. This blend, made with mineral-rich salt crystals and organic plant oils, gently exfoliates skin revealing smooth, radiant skin. Your skin will be soft-to-the-touch and smelling sweet from the aroma of natural plant essences.

Our hair and scalp are also victims of the harsh winter air. Rejuvenate lifeless, frizzy hair and itchy, dry scalp with Aveda’s Pramasana Scalp Cleanser. It deeply (and gently!) cleanses and exfoliates the scalp while also controlling sebum levels, promoting soft, shiny, and healthy hair.
Hydrate
Drink. More. Water. We know this one sounds silly, but while no evidence drinking a glass of water will instantly hydrate skin, if you are dehydrated, it will take a toll on your skin. Regardless of the direct benefits, drinking the correct amount of water every day will promote all-over health, including balance in digestion, circulation, absorption, etc. A hydrated body is a happy body!

Moisturize
Instantly increase moisture with Aveda’s Botanical Kinetics Intense Hydrating Soft Creme. This facial moisturizer is suitable for all skin types and helps recharge your skin cells to power the skin’s natural moisture system. To hydrate the body, we recommend the All-Sensitive Body Formula. This primrose oil nourishes and conditions sensitive skin and can be used after a shower or bath, as a bath oil, or a conditioning scalp treatment.

Sun-Protection
Defend your skin’s natural beauty with Daily Light Guard Defense Fluid Broad Spectrum SPF 30—whether you’re going to be outside in the sun or not. Up to 80 percent of the sun’s rays can pass through clouds, meaning that your skin is always at risk of being damaged by UV rays. By protecting your skin with SPF, you lower the risk of skin cancer, premature aging of the skin, and uneven skin tone.
