Your Summer Skincare Guide
Whether you're jetting off abroad or making the most of the last few weeks of this not-so-Great British summer, our Beauty Gurus are here to share their essential summer skincare tips.
These tips will help you achieve healthy, glowing skin that lasts into winter!
1. Apply SPF 50+ to Your Face and Body Daily
Up to 90% of skin ageing is due to UV rays from the sun. These rays not only damage the surface of your skin but also penetrate deeper, breaking down important skin proteins like collagen and elastin. To prevent premature ageing and skin damage, you MUST apply SPF every single day, regardless of the season—but especially in the summer when the UV rays are strongest!
2. Hydrate Inside and Out
Aim for 8 glasses of water a day and select skincare products like our Crème Rescue Serum with hydrating ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is fantastic at pulling in and holding onto moisture, capable of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This makes it great for keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized—even after a day outside in the sunshine.
3. Wash Your Face!
During the summer, when you're more active or enjoying the heat, always remember to wash your face thoroughly. We recommend double cleansing for extra freshness! The heat and humidity can cause excess oil production in the skin, leading to breakouts if you don't cleanse properly.
4. Set Yourself Up for Success
Morning skincare is all about protecting and preventing, while evening skincare focuses on repairing and correcting. Using Crème Rescue Serum in the morning improves skin barrier function and helps to combat environmental aggressors throughout the day. Applying another layer in the evening helps to rehydrate, soothe, and repair stressed or damaged skin—including sunburn.
Your Summer Skincare Saviour!
We all love a sun-kissed look, but prolonged periods of sun exposure not only damage our skin long-term but can also cause short-term discomfort in the form of sunburn, redness, and dryness! Having a bottle of Crème Rescue Serum on hand will help to soothe and heal stressed, damaged, and sunburnt skin. This serum is clinically proven to stimulate the production of beta-endorphins (a natural pain-relief peptide) by up to 163% and down-regulate cortisol production, alleviating shock and pain. PLUS, it contains award-winning skincare active SWT-7, which was originally designed to treat burn injuries.
By following these essential summer skincare tips, you can ensure that your skin stays healthy, hydrated, and glowing, no matter where the season takes you. So, grab your SPF, hydrate, cleanse, and protect your skin to enjoy the sun safely and beautifully!
