Natural Skin Care Tips

Reapply A High SPF Sunscreen

Sunscreen is one of the most (if not the most) important steps in your skin care routine, no matter what type of skin you have, or the type of weather. We recommend using a high SPF sunscreen because an SPF of 30 or more is essential for protecting your skin against damaging UV rays, which eventually lead to ageing skin. 

Please note, any SPF from your makeup is a bonus but it is not enough on its own. If you want to avoid sun damaged skin on your face and body, apply and reapply sunscreen regularly. SkinCancer.org suggests using two tablespoons of sunscreen on exposed body parts, reapplying it every two hours depending on the activity you are doing. You should also keep in mind there is still potential for sun damage while sitting indoors, so apply sunscreen even though you are indoors or if it is overcast.

Stay Hydrated When It’s Hot – And When It’s Not

During hot summer days, your skin is drier than ever and because of the dry and harsh conditions, you may frequently experience flaky skin or other skin problems such as acne breakouts. To avoid this, you must practice great skin care by keeping your skin hydrated. This protects it from the heat and keeps it healthy and glowing. Drinking at least eight glasses of water will show in the condition of your skin.

Water flushes out toxins from the body in the form of urine and sweat. What’s even better is to drink water with seasonal fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, watermelon, green apple, lemon, mint, and pomegranate to improve the antioxidants’ infusion. You can also invest in hydrating facial masks that moisturise and hydrate your skin.

Beauty Tip

Exfoliation is Essential in Summer

As your skin is more exposed to the sun and higher temperatures in summer, it can be more prone to breakouts or clogged pores. So you have to clear out the dead skin cells on your skin surface and for that, you need to get a gentle scrub to exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation removes blackheads and also it nourishes and moisturises your skin to the core. 

In addition, exfoliating gets rid of dirt, makeup, sunscreen, sweat and excess sebum that could clog your pores,  resulting in acne. It also helps to promote skin cell turnover, which helps improve your skin texture and tone. Since it gets rid of dead skin cell buildup, exfoliating regularly also allows your other skincare products to penetrate better. Have a look at our organic Decadent Delight Face Scrub, which is gentle on all skin types.

Do Not Skip The Toner

Skipping toner is a mistake because it’s a crucial component of a serious skin care routine. You apply it to freshly cleansed skin, before any other products. It works to restore balance to your skin before the rest of your routine, whether that’s out-of-whack pH or imbalanced oil on your skin (skin that’s too oily or too dry.) A good toner helps oily skin dry out; it helps dry skin get more hydrated. A good toner also resets the skin to a healthy pH level. Check out this article on the benefits of adding a toner to your skincare routine.

Change Your Moisturiser

Because it’s summer and it’s hot, we recommend you abandon the thicker moisturisers. Your skin needs moisturisation. You should not overlook this important skin care step, and think that summer humidity is enough to moisturise your skin. Use moisturiser with an SPF of least 30 and more. A heavy moisturiser will seal the pores and give rise to acne and inflammation. And, if you have oily or acne-prone skin then, with this summer skincare tip of using a light moisturiser, you can give you glowing skin.
