Summer's here, and with it comes sunshine, beach days, and...well, sometimes a bit of unwanted shine. But fear not, fellow natural skincare enthusiasts! Whether your skin leans oily, dry, or a combination of both, achieving a healthy, balanced complexion is totally achievable. Here's your guide to crafting the perfect summer skincare routine, tailored to your unique skin type.
Cleanse Wisely
No matter what your skin type is, cleansing is the foundation of a healthy summer skincare routine. Oily skin will benefit from a gentle cleanser, like the charcoal soap, which removes excess oil and impurities without stripping away the natural moisture. Papaya soap will work wonders for a combination skin type. Dry skin thrives on creamier cleanser like the Aloe soap, which will nourish and hydrate.
Toning for Balance
Toners often get a bad rap, but they can be a game-changer for summer skincare. Opt for toners, which are alcohol free. Our Rose water toner works great for all skin types. For oily and combination skin, try our Pores Minimizer, which will help to minimize the pores and control shine.
The Power of Serums
Serums are lightweight concentrates packed with potent ingredients for targeted concerns. In the summer months, lightweight serums are your best friend. Our face glow serum is lightweight and is packed with skin loving ingredients, which is suitable for all skin types.
Moisturize, Don't Fear
Even oily skin needs moisture! Opt for lightweight moisturizer like our Cucu and Aloe Lotion. The ingredients in the moisturizer won’t clog your pores. Dry skin thrives on richer moisturizer like our good old Aloe Gel, for a deep hydration.
Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable
Sun damage is a threat for all skin types, so sunscreen is an absolute must-have in your summer routine. Look for a mineral-based sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for daily use. Opt for non-comedogenic formulas that won't clog pores for oily and combination skin. Dry skin can benefit from sunscreens with added hyaluronic acid or zinc oxide for extra hydration and protection. Remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
Bonus Tip: Exfoliation Love
Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. However, be gentle! For oily and combination skin, limit exfoliation to 1-2 times a week with a gentle scrub, like our Coffee Scrub. Dry and sensitive skin should exfoliate even less frequently, opting for a very gentle scrub like our Detan Facepack.
