If you are planning to be out in the sun for a long stretch, reapply your sun cream every two to three hours or according to directions.Drink Plenty of Water

Smoothies are a great way to get your fruits and vegetables in throughout the summer time. However, not all smoothies are created equally. Watch out for those smoothies made with frozen yoghurts or ice cream as they can be very high in sugar.Exfoliate

If it is too hot to exercise outside, change your exercise plan and take it indoors. You could join a gym, take up a step class or take up swimming. The options are endless.
