Summer is here—and with it sun, lightness, and a good mood. Temperatures have risen, which is great. But sometimes the heat also brings with it one or two challenges: dealing with the heat is not always easy, you sweat, and somehow you don’t feel quite right.
To make the most of summer and enjoy every moment, we’ve teamed up with fussy to put together four simple tips to help you stay fresh, relaxed, and stylish despite the rising temperatures. So you can face the summer calmly and cool, in the truest sense of the word.
1. A small shower – big effect
It sounds simple, but it’s super effective: a short, lukewarm shower in between works like a reset button for the body. It is important that the water is not ice cold, but lukewarm. This keeps your circulation stable, and you feel refreshed straight away. An ice-cold shower may seem more refreshing at first, but the body then has to heat back up to normal body temperature, which has the opposite effect.
Unfortunately, you can’t always hop into the shower in between. But there is a solution for this, too: refreshing sprays or simply a cold washcloth placed on the back of your neck.
2. Deodorant – your summer bodyguard
At fussy, we have a natural deodorant that is vegan, environmentally friendly and just as individual as you are. The natural ingredients, which are also vegan and cruelty-free, are good for your body and offer 24-hour protection even on hot summer days.
But that’s not all. The bundle principle makes it possible for you to customize your deodorant just as you want it. You can choose between different cases and fragrances. You can choose exactly the combination you like best and put them together in bundles at fussy. Once the deodorant is empty, the packaging can still be used, and all you have to do is insert the refill deodorant, and you’re done. You can then choose a new fragrance if you want and try out new combinations.
So you don’t suddenly find yourself without deodorant, fussy offers the option of subscribing to refills. This means you won’t run out of stock, can save money, and are always flexible. You can change, skip, or cancel your subscription if necessary.
3. Eat & drink smart: light, cool & vital
In summer temperatures, it’s better to avoid heavy meals. Fast food and particularly fatty foods make the body work unnecessarily hard, making it sweat. Instead, the body needs easily digestible foods in hot weather, such as fresh salads, melon, yogurt, cucumber, or cold soups.
As a general rule—and not just on hot summer days—drink a lot! When you sweat, you need to drink a lot to make up for the fluid loss. This prevents headaches and exhaustion. If you drink a lot, you will feel fitter and fresher. Water with fresh mint, lemon, or cucumber slices is best. Unsweetened teas such as green or peppermint tea can also be pleasantly refreshing.
4. Fashion meets function: breathable summer styles
What you wear has a significant impact on how fresh you feel. Summer calls for airy clothing made from natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, or viscose. These fabrics allow the skin to breathe and prevent uncomfortable sweating. Wide cuts, light colors, and flowing materials are also suitable for hot summer days. Not only are they comfortable, but they also look fantastic.
How about a loose-fitting linen dress combined with chic sandals, for example? This look is perfect for hot days in the city. If you’re spending a summer’s day in the office, you can opt for a cool cotton two-piece suit, preferably one that is a little looser fitting or even oversized. Add a pair of chic open shoes and you’re all set for a summer’s day.
Conclusion: Staying fresh is a lifestyle
With a few simple tricks, you can enjoy summer to the full without the heat stress. Treat yourself to short breaks every now and then, take care of your body, provide it with healthy and refreshing drinks and food, and wear what makes you feel good. Freshness doesn’t just come from the outside but also from the inside, and with the right mindset, you’ll feel great even on hot days. And don’t forget to invest in a natural, high-quality deodorant.
