How to Get Your Arms Ready for Summer

Sunday marks the official start of summer, which means we’ll be spending more time lounging poolside or at the beach. Are you ready to get outside and show a little shoulder in your swimsuit? If you’re not, don’t fret - we’ve got you covered! We understand that you’ll be switching to lighter layers and may not be too comfortable showing off your arms just yet, which is why we’ve put together a list of common problems and solutions to help you feel more confident in your skin:

Rough skin. The first step to getting your arms ready for summer is to exfoliate. Exfoliating is an essential part of your daily skincare regime that removes dead cells and smooths out any rough patches. For optimal results, it is recommended that you use a washcloth instead of a loofah, as cloth can reduce the risk of inflammation.

Dark elbows and sun spots.  If you suffer from sun-damage on your arms, you can easily reduce its appearance with the help of chemical peels. Chemical peels are a quick, effective, and painless treatment that requires little to no downtime at all! However, if you’re affected by dark elbows rather than sun spots, the trick is to clean off dirt and dead skin. To combat this issue, take advantage of the bleaching and exfoliating properties in lemon juice, which will ultimately lighten the area. Pretty neat, huh?

Arm flab. One of the most common troubles among women is a little arm jiggle - who doesn’t hate it? If arm flab keeps you away from your summer wardrobe, an effective solution is to workout targeted arm muscles. Arm workouts, like bicep curls and tricep extensions are a sure way to achieve toned arms! Bicep and tricep exercises typically require the use of lightweight dumbbells, but if you don’t have any on hand, you can always opt for arm circle exercises. Arm circles are a beneficial workout that don’t require the use of weights, which means you can do it anytime, anyplace!

Scarring. Are you hiding your beautiful arms because of a little scarring? You’re not alone! Many people are affected by scarring, which can easily be resolved by micro-dermal needling. Through the use of this treatment, MD Pen revitalizes the skin by sparking cellular regeneration and aiding the absorption of cosmetic topicals to reduce unwanted scarring. Radiance Medspa offers micro-dermal needling - learn more to see if it’s the right solution for you!
