Summer Glow Essentials: Unlock Your Radiance
Embrace the Sunshine !
The key to Summer Glow Essentials? Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Start your routine with a high SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Remember, protection is the first step to a flawless glow!
With your sunscreen in place you are good to get out there and have fun in the sun!
Here in New Zealand, we have a very high UV factor. It is worth noting that at the height of summer here, without sunscreen, the burn time is nine minutes !
Hydration Station
Beat the heat and unlock your radiance by keeping your skin hydrated!
Opt for a lightweight, water-based moisturizer to replenish your skin without feeling heavy.
Pro tip: Include juicy fruits like watermelon in your diet for an extra hydration boost and to unlock your radiance !
Go Natural with Aloe
After a day in the sun, treat your skin to some aloe love! 🌱 Aloe vera gel soothes sun-kissed skin, reduces redness, and keeps it cool. Keep a bottle in the fridge for an instant refreshing sensation.
You could always add a drop of lavender essential oil into your aloe vera gel. Lavender is fantastic at soothing skin.
Antioxidant Power
Introduce antioxidants to your routine for a summer skincare win! Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries, help combat free radicals, leaving your skin looking youthful and vibrant. Snack your way to beautiful skin!
Sunglasses & Hats: Your Stylish Shields
Accessorise for protection! Invest in chic sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats to shield your face from the sun. Fashion meets function for the ultimate summer look!
Freshen Up with Floral Mists
Elevate your skincare routine with a floral mist! 🌺 Spritz throughout the day for a burst of freshness. Look for ingredients like rose or chamomile for a calming effect. Pro tip: Keep it in the fridge for an extra cooling experience.
What is a floral mist ?
Also known as hydrosols. These little beauties are distilled plant waters obtained during steam distillation. The distillation process produces essential oils which are removed. The water that remains is the floral water. It still contains plant essences, fragrances and their benefits. Just much less concentrated than their essential oil counterpart. Read your labels when you buy, though. Often the cheaper ones are just fragranced water and don’t have the hydrating properties of real floral waters.
Glow Up with Illuminating Products
Add a touch of summer glow essentials with illuminating skincare products! Choose lightweight serums or moisturizers with light-reflecting particles for that radiant, dewy finish. Shine on!
Nourish from Within
Don't forget the power of hydration from within! Sip on water, herbal teas, and indulge in hydrating fruits.
A well-nourished body reflects in radiant skin.
