And the summer is here. It is humid, hot... and as we start to put more focus on body routine... sometimes we forget the facial summer routine... So today I wanted to talk about why even though we sweat and we feel we need less of our facial routine - we should keep it!
So first why to have a special beauty routine in the summer?
– We sweat more (and especially now with the mask!) which means… more dirt on the face, which blocks the pores and can get us to have more acne.
– Our skin gets dry from the air conditioner, swimming pools, chlorine or sea salt, …. As you know most of our body is made of water and that includes our skin. So even a slight change in the skin hydration levels causes damages to the skin barrier and skin inflammation (we can see more fine lines appear in the summer). If we add sweat on top of it, sun protection, make up etc- we basically add dirt on top of the dry skin and that is a potential to dry and damage skin (with more acne)
One of the things that can “trick” us to believe it is not like that is the tan and sun glow- which is beautiful, but the dryness and the dirt are there…
So actually we need the extra care in summer which is based on 2 main elements: cleansing and hydration while keeping the beautiful glow…
Cleansing: we need to “melt” the dirt (make up, sun protection, swet…) .
For the morning time, We recommend using our Purify Cleanser:
Purify Cleanser
Suitable for all skin types, is a light cleanser with fresh aroma (combination of orange and floral- based on our natural essential oils, non synthetic perfume) . It includes a beautiful combination of ingredients ideal for the summer: Form melacare (made of the 3 dry oils) and pomegranate extract that helps to block the synthesis of melanin and reduce appearance of spots. Rosehip oil to reduce fine lines and treat the skin, and calendula to calm the skin.

And- after we prepared the skin- we need to hydrate it.
The ideal product is Moisture Light, that few summers away, that was described by the beauty author of the beauty shortlist as “summer hydration solution” and won best hydration.
Moisture Light
It includes 19 activeingredientid, to hydrate the skin we use hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, rose oil, bamboo, and fig juice (as you can see- it is one of my favorite ingredients for the summer!) . One of the "tricks" of this hydration is that most ingredients are low molecules- which means they absorb fast and leave you without a feeling of oilines!
