I think we all love the summer, but the warm and dry weather can have a negative impact on your skin. Warm sunshine, summer breezes, pollution, or dry rooms can all affect your skin. You may need a helping hand to keep its healthy summer glow.
Hydration both inside and out is a great place to start. Drink plenty of water, coconut water is a good option as it is loaded with electrolytes which are lost through sweating. Use good quality oils or creams on your face and body to help with hydration from the outside in. Skin exfoliation, or dry skin brushing is a great way to get rid of dead skin cells, to get the circulation going, and will help your skin glow. A healthy diet rich in fresh fruit, especially berries, whole grains, good quality protein foods, and healthy sources of omega oils will all help keep your skin looking fresh.
There are also some amazing skin products to help hydrate from the outside:
Trilogy Rosehip Antioxidant Oil is a certified organic facial oil and is one of my favourite Trilogy Oils. I use it after cleansing in the morning and evening. It hydrates, evens out my skin tone, and brightens my complexion. I love how my skin looks when I use this oil. Being rich in antioxidants makes it a great choice for anyone concerned with premature ageing or pollution damage.
One of our customer’s favourites is Weleda Skin Food a wonderful natural skin care product. Weleda Skin Food has been on trend over the past number of years, but it has been around since 1926. It is amazing for dry skin as well as cracked skin. It can be used on all parts of the body as well as the hands, feet, and elbows. It is deeply nourishing and hydrating. You might also like Weleda Skin Food Lip Balm, it’s soothing and hydrating.
If you prefer an oil, there’s, Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil. It is a lovely light oil that provides deep hydration and leaves the skin feeling silky smooth. You don’t have to wait around for it to dry in either!
