Each season asks something different of your body. Summer brings heat, busyness, social energy, and long days — and by February, many people feel overstimulated, puffy, or emotionally stretched thin.

That’s why Saturdays are perfect for a seasonal self‑care ritual: a small moment to reconnect, reset, and support your skin and nervous system as the season shifts.

At Body & Soul Spa Retreat – Mount Cotton, we encourage simple, grounding practices that help your body return to balance.

This Week’s Seasonal Self‑Care Tip: Cool, Calm Hydration

Your skin and lymphatic system thrive when they’re supported with gentle hydration — especially in late summer when heat and humidity can leave you feeling heavy or dehydrated.

Try this simple ritual today:

1. Begin with a cool face cloth

Place a soft cloth in cool water, wring it out, and press it gently over your face and chest. This helps reduce puffiness and soothes heat in the skin.

2. Sip infused water throughout the day

Add slices of cucumber, lemon, or mint to your water. These support hydration, digestion, and lymphatic flow.

3. Slow your breathing

Take three slow breaths with long exhales. Your nervous system softens, and your skin follows.

4. Finish with a light body moisturiser

Choose something calming and hydrating to help your skin stay soft and clear.

These tiny rituals help your body transition through the season with more ease and clarity.
