4 Steps to Beautiful Skin: Your Summer Skincare Refresh
Summer is here, and it’s time to give your skincare routine the refresh it deserves! At Pure + Simple, we believe that great skincare doesn’t have to be complicated, it should be simple, fun, and effective. That’s why we’ve created our 4 Steps to Beautiful Skin routine – perfect for busy lifestyles and guaranteed to keep your skin looking fabulous all summer long. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Cleanser
With summer comes more oil and sweat, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts - no thank you! Switch to a lightweight, gentle cleanser that cleans your skin thoroughly, ridding your skin of impurities without stripping it. Think our milky, lightweight Pure + Simple Sensitive Cleansing Milk that works double duty to remove makeup and is great for all skin types!
Step 2: Serum
Serums are your skin’s BFF, they are the magic workers in your routine - delivering powerful ingredients straight to your skin. For summer, go for a hydrating serum that feels light and fresh. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid are perfect for keeping your skin plump and dewy without the grease. Holistic Vanity’s Triple Hyaluronic Serum is a great choice for thirsty complexions.
Step 3: Oil
Yes, even in the summer-time heat a good facial oil can work wonders for your skin! Pick a lightweight face oil that balances your skin’s natural oils and adds hydration. Oils with antioxidants are awesome for protecting your skin from summer’s environmental stressors. Pick up a Holistic Vanity Lipid Vitamin C Oil for a brighter complexion and to help reverse UV damage.
Step 4: Moisturizer
You’ll want a moisturizer that hydrates without the excess shine. A light moisturizer is ideal for summer. Our Skin Softening Eye + Face Cream is the perfect option for the summer! Its lightweight formula quenches thirsty skin and keeps your complexion plump and hydrated.
Transitioning Your Routine
As we move from the cold to warmer weather, our skin needs change. Heat can ramp up oil production while sun, chlorine, and saltwater can dry out and irritate your skin. Tweaking your routine to handle these changes is key to keeping your skin healthy and glowing for the long haul. While we’re all about keeping it simple, feel free to supplement your daily routine with exfoliants, masks and especially SPF!
Extra Tips for Maintaining Gorgeous Summer Skin
- Stay Hydrated: Keep drinking lots of water to hydrate your skin from the inside out.
- Sun Protection: Never skip sunscreen! Go for at least SPF 30 to shield your skin from UV rays.
- Cool Showers: Choose lukewarm showers to avoid stripping your skin’s natural oils.
- Add Colour: Eat antioxidant-rich foods like berries and leafy greens to support your skin’s health.
