As the days get longer and the temperature rises, it's time to shed those winter layers — and we don’t just mean your wardrobe. Summer calls for a fresh skincare approach to keep your complexion radiant, hydrated, and protected from the season’s unique challenges. Whether you're planning beach days, city strolls, or mountain getaways, here’s how to prep your skin for summer like a pro.
1. Start with a Skin Detox
After months of dry indoor air, your skin needs a reset. Exfoliation is the first step to glowing skin. Use our Cherry Plum Peel once or twice a week in the evening to slough off dead skin cells and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
2. Recommit to Sunscreen (Every Single Day)
Yes, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen isn’t just a beach-day essential — it should be part of your everyday routine. Use our SPF 30 Sunblock, formulated for face and body, reapplying every two hours if you're spending time outdoors. This non-nano zinc oxide sunblock will protect from UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.
3. Hydrate from the Inside Out
You’ve heard it a million times: drink more water. But in the heat, hydration is even more critical for glowing skin. Water helps flush toxins, supports elasticity, and keeps your skin looking supple. For an extra boost, eat water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and strawberries.
4. Refresh Your Night Routine
Summer skin still needs repair and nourishment at night. Use our Amber Primrose Facial Oil with 25% Vitamin C to combat sun damage and brighten your complexion. If your skin tends to get oily in the summer, this fabulous facial oil will help balance excessive oil production and tighten pores.
5. Don’t Forget Your Body
Your face isn’t the only part that deserves attention. Exfoliate your body weekly, follow with a light lotion or body oil, and apply SPF 30 Sunblock to your chest, shoulders, and anywhere else that sees the sun. Your future self will thank you!
