Holistic Summer Skin + Wellness Rituals for Radiance Inside + Out

Summer is the sunny season of light, warmth, and energy—but it can also leave your skin and nervous system feeling a little overexposed and overstimulated. Between sun, sweat, late nights, and packed schedules, it’s easy to feel off balance.

At Citron, we believe summer wellness isn’t just about protecting your skin—it’s about supporting your whole self. That’s why we’ve created a list of our favorite holistic rituals to help you glow through the season—mind, body, and spirit.

1. Hydration Is the Foundation

Hot weather, outdoor activities, and travel can all leave your body and skin dehydrated. Focus on boosting your glow with hydration from the inside out:

Summer Skin Health Tip: Add cucumber, mint, or citrus slices to your water to support digestion, refresh, and nourish the body naturally.

Herbal Support: Sip on an ice-cold Immune Schein Hibiscus Flower Ginger Elixir—a summer favorite made with sparkling water, fresh mint, and a splash of lime for a refreshing cocktail-style wellness drink. It’s naturally vibrant and packed with benefits:

·       Reduces high blood pressure

·       Helps lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels

·       Supports liver health and weight balance

No added water, vinegar, tea, alcohol, powders, extracts, oils, artificial flavors, or preservatives—just real food.

Available in our retail boutique: We offer bottles of our Hibiscus Flower Ginger Elixir in our spa boutique so you can bring the benefits home with you.

Complimentary Wellness Shot: Enjoy a complimentary mini hibiscus ginger shot at the end of your spa treatment—our gift to support your glow from the inside out.

2. Soothe Summer Skin with Cooling Treatments

Sun exposure, pool chemicals, and heat can lead to sensitivity, dullness, and tension in both skin and muscles. Our summer spa rituals are designed to refresh and restore your entire system—from skin to nervous system.

For Skin:

Our Summer Botanical Citrus Facial blends age-defying local botanicals with clean clinical skincare, featuring soothing calendula and orange peel oils, calming citrus hydrosols, and brightening plant-based actives. It’s the ultimate remedy for sun-exposed skin needing balance and radiance.

For Body:

The Citron Uplift Massage combines heat + cold therapies with a deeply relaxing full-body massage. Hot + cold stones, steamed + cold towels, and invigorating local mint-infused oil deliver a cryo/thermo-therapeutic effect that eases muscle fatigue and uplifts the senses.

Our Summer Botanical Citrus Body Remedy is a 90-minute full-body renewal featuring detoxifying dry brushing, a citrus body polish, and a hydrating aloe back + foot mask—followed by warm botanical oils, hot stones, and a stress-relieving facial + scalp massage.

Plant-Based Hero: Aloe, calendula, orange peel, and mint — these cooling, healing herbs not only calm inflamed skin but also revitalize the nervous system when used in massage + body therapies.

3. Protect + Nourish Daily

Healthy, radiant skin starts with consistency—and yes, SPF! Support your skin barrier and your body’s natural detox pathways all season long with some simple daily rituals that make a big difference.

Skin & Body Rituals to Try

·       Apply antioxidant serums (like vitamin C) under your SPF to boost protection.

·       Use a dry brush or gentle exfoliation to encourage lymphatic flow and smooth skin.

·       End your shower with a cool rinse to improve circulation and reduce inflammation.

·       Reserve weekly or biweekly infrared sauna sessions to boost detoxification, support skin clarity, and melt stress.

Nourishment from the Inside Out

·       Sip on burdock root or dandelion iced tea to support liver function and clearer skin.

·       Embrace clean, seasonal eating with hydrating fruits, cooling herbs, and detox-friendly greens like arugula and cucumber. Think fresh, vibrant meals that support energy and radiance from within.

4. Move Your Body, Calm Your Mind

Summer is energizing, but it can also disrupt your routines and sleep. Keep your nervous system supported with gentle, grounding rituals.

Try:

• A 10-minute evening stretch or walk after dinner

• A refreshing jog in the early morning before the sun gets too hot

• Morning meditation and journaling with iced herbal tea

• A relaxation massage focused on the parasympathetic nervous system

Try This Treatment: A 60- or 90-minute Relaxation Haven- complete with relaxation massage, hot stones, and steamed towels with essential oils like peppermint or lavender that can cool the body and soothe the mind.

5. Make Space to Pause + Replenish

Between vacations, summer social calendars, and longer days, burnout can sneak up—emotionally and physically. Make equal space for rest and restoration.

Self-Care Invitations:

• Reserve a seasonal spa treatment focused on renewal

• Unplug for an hour and read outdoors or at the beach

• Create a wind-down ritual with a cooling body oil and calming tea

• Create an outdoor herbal footbath while you enjoy a rejuvenating face mask

You don’t need an elaborate plan to feel your best this summer—just a few intentional rituals that bring you back into balance. Whether it's a weekly facial steam, a nurturing massage, or sipping iced tea on the porch, these little moments are where sustainable wellness is possible.
