Your 3-Step Summer Skincare Ritual
Summer brings longer days and hopefully, more time spent under blue skies! But as nature shifts around us, so too does our skin’s rhythm. You might notice a little more oil, a feeling of tightness after sun exposure, or just a sense that your usual routine feels a touch too heavy.
This time of year, your skin craves simplicity—something light, hydrating, and balancing. A pared-back, nature-led ritual can bring real comfort and clarity to your daily routine.
Here’s a gentle 3-step ritual to care for your skin through the warmer months:
Step One: Cleanse – A fresh start, morning and night
In summer, cleansing becomes even more important. Sweat, sunscreen, and longer days outdoors can build up on the skin, making it feel congested or dull.
A balm cleanser is the perfect answer offering a deep yet gentle cleanse that lifts away impurities without disturbing your skin’s natural oils.
Our Cleansing Balm is handmade with nourishing sunflower oil, calming calendula, and softening beeswax to leave your skin feeling clean, comforted, and beautifully soft.
Use a warm, damp cloth to remove the balm and enjoy a moment of quiet as you press it gently to your face. It’s more than skincare—it’s a small ritual of care.
Elaine’s pick: “I reach for our Rejuvenate Cleansing Balm every evening. It melts away the day and leaves my skin feeling calm and nourished.”
Step Two: Mist – Hydrate and refresh throughout the day
Think of a facial mist as your skin’s cooling drink of water. A few spritzes after cleansing help hydrate the skin and prepare it to absorb the goodness of your facial oil. It’s also a lovely way to refresh the skin during hot days or after time in the sun.
Our Prebiotic Facial Mist is infused with botanical extracts to soothe, cool, and calm. Whether you keep it by your bedside or pop it in your bag, it’s summer skincare made simple.
Elaine’s pick: “I like to keep a Prebiotic Facial Mist in the fridge, it’s a refreshing treat on warm afternoons, and my go-to for a midday skin reset.”
Step Three: Nourish – Seal in moisture with a light facial oil
Summer calls for a lighter touch when it comes to moisturising. Rich balms may feel too heavy, especially in warmer temperatures. Instead, reach for a silky facial oil that feeds the skin and helps it stay supple and balanced.
Our facial oils are rich in skin-loving ingredients like rosehip, borage, and jojoba, and are designed to support mature and evolving skin with grace.
Just 2–3 drops warmed between your palms and pressed gently into damp skin is all you need. It’s a moment of softness to start and end your day.
Elaine’s pick: ‘“My skin absolutely loves our Balance Facial Oil, especially in summer when I want hydration without heaviness.”
