You might think you need to take your skin to 'boot camp' in the run-up to a big event, with super-strength actives and over-exfoliation. But this can have the opposite effect, wreaking havoc on our skin barrier and microbiome leading to breakouts, irritation and dullness. Instead, imagine you're sending it on a yoga retreat! Opt for a pared-back – yet consistent – routine with streamlined, nurturing formulas. Read on to find out just how.
How to hydrate skin in the morning
Layering on countless different products can leave skin feeling sticky and suffocated, especially during the warm summer months. Instead, after your morning cleanse, just spritz your face with our Reviver Hydrating Mist. Then pop on a few drops of our multi award-winning Hero Facial Oil that does the job of multiple serums and moisturisers in one easy hit.
Their powers? While the mist cools, hydrates and boosts your skin's important microbiome and protective barrier function, the oil plumps and smoothes skin. The latter also boasts Vitamin E which acts as an antioxidant, fighting the effects of the sun's ageing free radicals. Simply follow with a broad-spectrum, high-SPF sunscreen, like our Serene Daily SPF 50+.
Protected, hydrated and oh-so-radiant - triple tick!
For glowing skin on the go
We're all used to leaving the house with little more than a purse, hand sanitiser and house keys. But spending the whole day out and about calls for a few SOS skincare must-haves.
We're never without our Reviver to help keep our skin refreshed and radiant all-day long. This genius spritz is more than just a mist. In an instant, it cools you down, revives lacklustre makeup and adds a flattering glow. But we also love knowing it's also getting to action on our complexion deep down, working to soothe inflammation and deliver intense hydration. Even if you suffer from rosacea, eczema or psoriasis, you can veil it on throughout the day and rest assured it won't leave you looking irritated.
Brighten and protect with Vitamin C
Incorporating Vitamin C into your summer skincare routine is a must for achieving bright, healthy-looking skin. Known for its powerful antioxidant properties, Vitamin C helps to neutralise free radicals caused by sun exposure and pollution, which can lead to premature aging and dullness. It also plays a key role in boosting collagen production, which keeps your skin firm and plump.
To make the most of these benefits, look no further than By Sarah's Vitamin C + E Booster. This potent formula combines the brightening power of Vitamin C with the nourishing effects of Vitamin E, the latter increasing the efficacy of the Vitamin C. Together, they create a synergistic blend that not only shields your skin from environmental stressors but also promotes a glowing, even complexion. Our formulation uses slow-releasing Vitamin C, meaning it's designed for sensitive skin and won't cause any irritation.
The best summer skincare routine for the evening
Whether it's pollution particles after hotfooting it around the city or sweat following that spontaneous post-picnic rounders match, skin always needs a good cleanse at the end of the day. We love our Balancer Cream Cleanser for this. It whips off makeup, grime and impurities without stripping the skin, leaving it clean yet comfortable.
If you've found yourself suffering from summer breakouts, follow with our lightweight Ally Recovery Facial Oil that uses the power of upcycled hemp seed oil to blitz spots and the marks they leave behind. Otherwise, opt for a few drops of our much-loved Hero Facial Oil again.
To cool off after a day in the sun and quench thirsty skin, treat your skin to our Saviour Moisture Mask. It's a deeply-moisturising, lightweight hyaluronic gel mask, bursting with naturally-derived hyaluronic acid and aloe leaf extract to instantly boost hydration - better yet it gets to work in only 10 minutes!
That's your summer skincare sorted. Now, all hail the summer of F-U-N!
