Summer is a time of sunshine, beach outings, and outdoor adventures. However, the increased sun exposure, heat, and humidity can take a toll on your skin. Maintaining a radiant complexion requires some adjustments to your skincare routine. In this blog post, we'll uncover the secrets to achieving glowing, healthy skin throughout the summer months. Whilst it's easy to continue habit stacking, adapting your skincare routine for Summer is essential to address the season's unique challenges. Here are our recommendations on how you could adjust your regimen this summer...
1. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Consider using a hydrating mask for an extra boost of radiance.
2. Use A Gentle Cleanser
The foundation of any skincare routine is thorough cleansing. In summer, your skin produces more oil and sweats more, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts.
Choose a Gentle Cleanser: Opt for a gentle cleanser that effectively removes dirt, oil, and sweat without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Our cleansing milk for natural beauty is the perfect gentle, nourishing cleanser for summer.
If you don't already double cleanse, it would be beneficial to add a second cleanse to your evening routine to ensure all makeup, sun cream and impurities are removed.
3. Lighten up!
Heavy moisturisers can feel greasy and uncomfortable in the summer heat. Switch to a lighter formulation that still provides adequate hydration.
Our CBD Face Cream is perfect for summer as it is deeply nourishing and absorbs quickly.
4. Antioxidants
Antioxidants boost your defence, helping to protect your skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress caused by sun exposure. Our CBD range is rich in antioxidants (aloe vera, jasmine and sandalwood) which help to alleviate inflammation.
6. Exfoliation
Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, but it’s essential to be gentle to avoid irritation. Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to keep your skin smooth and clear.
7. SPF
SPF is always an essential, but it becomes increasingly important in the summer months. Apply at the very end of your skincare routine and to all exposed areas of skin. Reapply as needed. This will protect you from skin damage whilst also preventing premature ageing.
Embrace these tips and make the most of the sunny season with confidence and a radiant complexion.
