For many of us, changes in season can bring changes to our complexion. Your skin is an organ that is always changing, reaching and searching for homeostasis (balance.) Learning to listen to the cues your skin gives you can help you maintain healthy, glowing skin, all summer long.
Winter is often drying to skin – cold temperatures, indoor heating and dehydration are common culprits. Spring and summer on the other hand bring heat, blazing sun, air conditioning, sweat and shine! As the weather heats up after a long cold winter, initially your sebaceous glands can increase oil production, leading to summer acne. Allergies seem to cause some to have an increase in itchiness, redness and tight skin too.
How to cope?
- A lighter touch can often help the skin to breathe and stay balanced. The urge to reach for the thickest creams and potions is diminished when you are sweltering on a summer day. We suggest a light, simple touch when it comes to unlocking your best summer skincare routine, to match the heat and energy of the season.
- A clean, simple facial cleanser like our Fresh Awakening is the best face wash for summer, because it re-energizes the skin as it cleans and conditions. The gentle cleansers and emollients like Rice Bran Oil help to protect the skin barrier, resulting in a calm, balanced and harmonious complexion.
- A few precious drops of our Rose Renewal Facial Oil is the perfect next step in your summer skin routine. This lightweight and quickly absorbed oil delivers plumping hydration and a dewy, rosy glow. Follow up with our best hydrating summer moisturizer, Timeless Hydration to let skin breathe and feel nourished, but never weighed down. Lastly, drink plenty of water and don’t forget your best SPF to protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
