Sweet summer is in full swing and that means we are back out and about from our winter hibernation mode. There are a lot more events and social gatherings and we want to look and feel our best. Our approach to summer skincare takes an inner and outer approach. We want that deep-rooted glow from within that radiates from our health, vitality, and happiness. In addition, we want clean, result-oriented skincare products to use in our at-home rituals and monthly facials specifically designed for summer skin.
5 Steps to Radiantly Glowing Summer Skin
1. Update your home skincare rituals for summer
Brighten
Hydrabright Cleanser: Nourish and hydrate with a blend of vegan lactic acid, moringa seed extract, and antioxidants. The gel's light foaming action encourages gentle oil balance and exfoliation during the summer.
Calm + Cool
Phyto Calm Enzyme Mask: This gentle exfoliating mask contains a unique blend of five fruit acid enzymes that reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores while deeply hydrating.
Phyto- Calm Flower Mist: Infused with antioxidants, calming rose water, and anti-inflammatory chamomile, this hydrating mist gives you a quick skin-quenching boost throughout the day.
Hydrate
HA Revive Hyaluronic Drops: Infused with marine actives and multi-weight hyaluronic acids that retain up to 1,000 times their weight in water to boost hydration levels.
Phyto-Calm Aloe Hydrator: This anti-oxidant-rich hydrator soothes, boosts moisture levels, and diminishes hyperpigmentation with a blend of botanicals and aloe vera.
Protect
C-Shield Anti-Pollution Drops: Antioxidants and 15% vitamin C defend skin against environmental stressors and pollutants and improve fine lines and wrinkles.
Oil-Free SPF 40: This mineral sunscreen offers protection from the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays, pollution, oxidative stress, and dehydration with hyaluronic acid.
2. Summer Botanical Facial
Your monthly facial also transitions for the summer. Calming and soothing locally sourced botanicals are combined with clinical Glo Skin Beauty products that restore balance, brighten, cool, hydrate, and protect summer skin. Stress-relieving massage and uplifting botanical aromas rejuvenate the mind, body, and mood.
3. Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas include near, mid, and far wavelengths that penetrate the body’s tissue, creating benefits that include a deep detoxifying sweat, muscle relaxation, anti-aging skin benefits, weight loss, stress reduction, cardiovascular health, and more.
4. Hydrate from Within
Staying hydrated in the summer heat is essential. We tend to sweat more and need to replenish our hydration levels for our bodies to function healthily, including our skin. If we are dehydrated, less water is transferred to the skin through circulation. Water can improve blood flow in the skin and body, transporting more nutrients to your cells.
Ways to hydrate from within:
Drink water
Watermelon
Melon
Cantaloupe
Spinach
Lettuce
Celery
Bell Peppers
Strawberries
Cucumbers
5. Up your anti-oxidant intake
Eating foods high in antioxidants helps protect your skin from signs of aging caused by free-radical damage caused by the harmful UV rays from the sun and even cancer. Eating enough antioxidants’ will help keep your skin healthy and youthfully radiant.
Some foods high in antioxidants
Green tea (try iced with lemon for summer!)
Acai (can find this in frozen fruit to add to your smoothie)
Citrus high in vitamin C like lemons and oranges
Kale
Broccoli
Bell Pepper
Nuts + Seeds
Carrots
Sweet Potatoes
Dark Chocolate
