Spring has sprung!

Your skincare routine for the summer months should include lightweight products that help keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun. Lightweight skincare can help prevent skin irritation and breakouts. Opting for lighter water-based, or quick-absorbing non-comedogenic oil moisturizers will leave the skin feeling hydrated and fresh. Using quick-absorbing, non-comedogenic oils, like rosehip oil, jojoba oil, and grape seed oil, can provide the skin with beneficial nutrients and moisture without clogging pores. Adding a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid, like our Rose Water Satin Serum, into your routine can also help the skin stay hydrated and healthy. Using sunscreen is a must and choosing one with SPF 30 or higher will protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. Lastly, cleaning your face with a gentle cleanser like our Pineapple Facial Cleanser can help remove any dirt or sweat that can cause clogged pores while providing gentle exfoliation for a fresh look and feel daily.

Fall into hydration

As fall approaches and the air turns colder we have to shift our skin care routine to accommodate the cooler breeze. Shifting from a water based cleanser to a cream based cleanser can increase the moisture in skin during less humid times of the year as well as protect the skin from colder temperatures. Implementation of a heavier cream based moisturizer can create a physical barrier so that the needed moisture is locked into the skin. Exfoliation is key to remove dead skin cells and reveal healthy looking skin. Exfoliate up to 2-3 time weekly or with an exfoliating cleanser gentle enough for everyday use. Layering skin care products can also help create a barrier and increase the level of moisture available for the skin to retain. During the colder months restoring and maintaining the skins hydration level is the goal.

Pamper yourself this Fall
