Does your diet change in the warmer months? Typically your body starts craving salads, fruit and colder meals over the soups and ‘comfort foods’ of winter. The same is true for your skin!
In our philosophy of Raw Skincare, we believe that feeding your skin what it’s craving, and changing your skincare ingredients with the seasons is incredibly important for your skin’s vitality.
Here are our favourite raw skincare ingredients for summer…
Toning & Clarifying
We love the fresh, clearing & toning effects of the herbal hydrosols at this time of year; Peppermint & Rosemary Verbenone being our favourites. If you have red or sensitive skin that flares up in the heat, try Roman Chamomile Hydrosol instead. Storing your hydrosols in the fridge at this time of year makes them even more refreshing!
Hydration
Your skin might be craving a slightly lighter serum oil at this time of year. We love Raspberry Seed Oil because it’s deeply nourishing, but a bit lighter than our fan favourite Rose Hip Seed Oil. Raspberry Seed Oil also offers some sun protection. We love Raspberry Seed Oil customized with Glow Synergy; summer skincare heaven!
If your skin tends to break out at this time of year, try the extra light touch of Black Cumin Seed Oil customized with our Clear Synergy.
Breakouts
The combination of humidity, sunscreen & sweat can equal summer breakouts on the face, chest and back. Our Blemish Spot Treatment Kit works absolute magic for breakouts all over the body.
Extra Hydration & Protection
If you feel your skin needs some extra moisture, try our Raspberry Seed Day Cream. This housemade day cream is beautifully light, quickly absorbed by the skin and has a lovely, fresh aroma.
Exfoliation
We love our AHA Facial Exfoliant for gently removing dead or peeling skin. It leaves the skin super soft & glowing!
Summer Medicine Cabinet
If you’re experiencing redness or inflammation from the summer elements, spritz with Helichrysum Hydrosol to calm, heal and soothe irritations quickly. This can be used all over the body on sunburns, rashes, as well as any type of trauma (ie: sprains, swelling or bruising).
For puffy, itchy or inflamed patches of skin, look no further than our Calming Treatment Gel. We love it stored in the fridge for a cooling effect on inflammation.
If you have children, these are our favourites:
Sun Burns - Roman Chamomile Hydrosol
Rashes/Eczema - Magic Rash Eraser
Bug Bites - After Everything Roll-On< /div>
