As the temperatures rise and we spend more time outdoors, it’s easy to think that moisturizing is something we can skip during the summer. However, keeping your skin hydrated and protected is crucial, no matter the season!!!
Here’s why you shouldn’t skip moisturizing this summer and how it can benefit your skin.
🏖️ Hydration
Sun, saltwater, and chlorine are common encounters in summer, and while they make for a fun season, they can also dehydrate your skin. A good moisturizer keeps your skin supple and hydrated, ensuring it stays healthy and vibrant.
Opt for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that won’t feel heavy, such as our skincare hero, Essence De Jeunesse, which delivers benefits year-round.
🧪 Sun Protection
We all know how important sunscreen is, but did you know that moisturizers with antioxidants can provide an extra layer of defense against harmful UV rays?
These ingredients help combat the damage caused by sun exposure. Beyond your sunscreen, which should be applied last, make sure to use antioxidant containing moisturizers such as Essence De Jeunesse which is packed with not only antioxidants but also peptides and pro-vitamins, which support healthy skin function.
And an extra tip: After sunbathing, prevent dryness and peeling by using oils like rice bran oil, castor oil, and soybean oil. These oils are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that help soothe and repair skin. Explore our mess-free massage oils, perfect for replenishing your skin barrier with essential nutrients. Plus, they are travel-sized and ideal to take anywhere!
🔨 Repair
After a day in the sun, your skin needs extra care to repair and rejuvenate. Moisturizers play a key role in soothing and healing sun-exposed skin. Look for products that contain humectants such as amino acids, sodium PCA and proteins, which are known for their restorative properties.
✨ Balance
Summer heat can increase oil production. In response, you might be tempted to over-cleanse, which can strip away too much oil and cause dryness.
The solution? A properly formulated moisturizer that helps maintain a balanced complexion, controlling oil without compromising on hydration.
