Salty ocean swims, chlorinated pools and spending hours in front of the aircon - all the wondrous summer perks that may lead to the unfortunate breakouts, extra oiliness in the t-zone, dullness, dry patches or if you’re lucky, all of the above.
This doesn’t mean you need to splurge on an entirely new routine; there are, however, a few tweaks you can make to prep and prime your skin for the warmer temperatures ahead.
Here are our suggestions guaranteed to keep your skin glowing all summer long.
Hydrate
Quench your skin’s thirst with a lightweight moisturizer. Even better, a lightweight moisturizer containing deeply nourishing ingredients such as Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide NP, Sodium PCA, Linoleic and Linolenic Acid and Vitamin E, that work to retain moisture in the skin; leaving it soft, smooth and perfectly balanced. Sounds like a dream? You can find these powerhouse ingredients in our Ultra Hydrating Lotion.
Soothe
Give your skin the comfort it needs after a well-deserved beach day with ingredients designed to soothe stressed skin. Think: Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and Vitamin E. Our pick? Face & Body Recovery Cream; this non-greasy formula provides vital comfort and hydration to the skin exposed to harsh environmental stressors - it’s ideal for after-sun exposure. Use this one morning and night (or as needed).
Refresh
If you find yourself spending a little too long in the sun or in an air-conditioned room, your skin may feel slighter drier or more dehydrated than usual. You’ll want to incorporate a refreshing face mist, like our Ultra Hydrating Skin Mist. This one not only smells amazing, it also nourishes and soothes dry skin.
Protect
SPF is a non-negotiable all year round to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. When used daily as directed, sunscreen works to help prevent the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and loss of firmness - win!
