Most people return from a beach holiday feeling and looking great. Their mood has improved, they feel more relaxed while their hair and skin has a luster that it didn’t have before the vacation. We like to call these the results and benefits of receiving ‘Vitamin Sea’. But what happens when the vacation is over and you have to return home? To ensure you keep that healthy sheen, we’ve come up with a list of how to get your Vitamin Sea benefits after your Roatan vacation is over.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is necessary for healthy teeth, bones and muscles. It also plays a role in a positive mental attitude. Our bodies can naturally create Vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight. Obviously you’re going to get a healthy dose of sunlight if you spend any time on a Roatan beach. But what happens when you get back home? There are vitamin supplements for people who live in areas that don’t receive a lot of sunlight. You can also use sunbeds or sun lamps to replicate the effects of the sun, but these aren’t recommended by health professionals.
Lustrous Hair And Skin
Many people find that their skin ailments are alleviated after spending a couple of weeks in the sea and sand. They’ll also find that their hair is more easily managed and has a fullness and shine to it that’s not present back home. The increased humidity, the effects of saltwater and the fact that the body is able to breathe easier without several layers of clothing all contribute to the luster of the skin and hair. To keep your skin and hair looking fresh and healthy, you can try and replicate the beach scene with salt baths for the skin and salt spray for the hair. Try to go barefoot as much as possible and opt for looser fitting clothing.
Stress Relief
One of the great things about laying on the beach for a couple of weeks is the state of relaxation that it promotes. There’s not much of a better way to relieve stress than to lay in the sun and listen to the sound of the waves roll in. But of course, we can’t all be lucky enough to live by an ocean that has year round warm weather. How can you replicate the soothing calm of the beach life at home? Rather than relaxing by watching TV or reading articles on the internet, try unplugging instead. Listen to a soundtrack of ocean waves while meditating and concentrating on your breathing. Maybe yoga or gratitude practice works better for you. Try to find something that emulates the sensation of relaxing on the beach.
Book Another Holiday
If the above suggestions just aren’t doing it for you, you might just consider booking yourself another Roatan vacation! It’ll give you something to look forward to and before long your skin, hair and psyche will get to experience the real thing once again.
