Why Summer Skin Needs Different Care — And How to Keep Your Glow Naturally🌻

Summer is here — and with it comes sunshine, vacations, and a little extra time outdoors. But while we’re soaking up the warmth and longer days, our skin is often paying the price.

If you’ve noticed your skin feeling tight, red, or just “off” in the summer months, you’re not imagining it. Summer presents a unique set of challenges for our skin — and the way you care for your complexion during these months can make all the difference in how it looks and feels.

Here’s why summer skincare is so important, what’s actually happening to your skin in warmer weather, and how to adjust your natural skincare routine to keep your glow all season long.

☀️ WHY SUMMER STRESSES YOUR SKIN

Your skin is your body’s largest organ — and its first line of defense against the environment. During summer, it has to work harder than ever to stay balanced and healthy.

1. Dehydration (even when it’s humid!)

It might seem counterintuitive, but hot, humid air actually draws water out of your skin. This is called transepidermal water loss, and it can leave your skin feeling parched, tight, or flaky — even in sticky summer weather.

2. UV damage & inflammation

UV rays don’t just cause sunburn — they create free radicals in the skin, which damage collagen, accelerate aging, and increase inflammation. Even a little too much sun can leave your skin looking red, blotchy, or dull.

3. Sweat & clogged pores

Sunscreen, sweat, and oil production all ramp up in summer — and together they can trap dirt and bacteria in your pores, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts.

🌿 HOW TO KEEP YOUR GLOW NATURALLY

Now that you know what your skin is up against, here’s how to adjust your skincare routine with clean, natural products that hydrate, protect, and repair — without heavy layers or harsh chemicals.

Step 1: Hydrate — inside & out

Drinking water is important, but your skin needs topical hydration too.
- Mist your face throughout the day with our Famous Toner, a water-based hydrating spray infused with soothing botanicals like rose and aloe.
- Keep it in the fridge for an extra cooling, redness-reducing effect.

Step 2: Lighten up your layers

In winter, heavy creams protect your skin against cold, dry air — but in summer they can feel greasy and clog pores.
- Switch to lighter hydration like our Triple Threat Oil Cleanser & Serum, which provides nourishing oils in a breathable, lightweight formula.
- For daytime, let your skin breathe with just toner + serum, and save richer moisturizers for night if needed.

Step 3: Protect against the sun

You already know sunscreen is a must — but pairing it with antioxidant-rich skincare can help neutralize the free radicals UV exposure creates.
Use products with ingredients like rosehip, pomegranate, and calendula, found in our Moon Light Magic Overnight Oil, to repair and protect your skin barrier.

Step 4: Soothe & repair overnight

Even if you do everything right, summer skin still needs TLC at the end of the day.
After cleansing with Triple Threat, apply Better Butter overnight to calm redness, repair the barrier, and wake up with soft, supple skin.

SAMPLE SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE

Here’s a simple, effective routine you can stick to all summer long:

Morning:
- Cleanse with water or light oil (like Triple Threat)
- Mist generously with Famous Toner
- Apply lightweight serum or moisturizer
- Sunscreen & hat before heading outside

Evening:
- Cleanse thoroughly with Triple Threat to remove sunscreen and sweat
- Mist with Famous Toner
- Apply Moon Light Magic Oil or Better Butter for overnight repair
