Summer skincare essentials:
- Barrier-boosting hydration with moisturisers that lock in water helps prevent dry, stressed skin in heat.
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB, lowering the risk of sun damage.
- Lightweight formulas and gels support comfort in humidity without clogging pores.
- Reapplication of sunscreen during outdoor days ensures ongoing protection where sweat and water wash it away.
- Cooling routines like splash rinses or gel masks can help calm heat-irritated skin.
When we think of summer skin, we envision a gorgeous sun kissed look, fresh dewy skin and minimal makeup with bronze tones to accentuate the natural beauty of our gorgeous faces which we have so righteously cared for throughout the year. From the transition of winter’s harsh wind and drying heat to the irritations caused by springs allergens – our skin cops an arduous beating and just when we want it to be at its optimum – for the season of summer soirées and festivities, it can sometimes prove to be anything but.
In a panic, our natural instincts is to overhaul our skin care routine – or worse; up the-ante when it comes to both topical and cosmeceutical treatments. In reality, however, as the saying ‘less is more’ goes - in this instance - we need to strip back our skin care routine, focus on quality over quantity and look at ingredients that are going to dig deep, nourishing the foundation that will lead to you putting your best face forward. And, what better way to start than with some nutrient-enriched skin care products from Swisse Skincare.
It’s all about the base
Hydration is key when it comes to summer skin care so prepping the skin after cleansing with a balancing and refreshing facial mist is key to help create the perfect base.
The Swisse Rosewater Hydrating Mist Toner uses rosewater extracted from the petals of roses to help calm and balance the skin. This toner product also contains aloe vera, vitamins C and E as well as organic rose hip oil full of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids to help balance skin texture and tone making the skin feel revitalised and refreshed.
Complete perfection
There is no denying our skin can be left feeling a little dull and blotchy from the parallels of season chance so opting for a mosituriser with natural brightening is a MUST for any paired back skin care routine.
Paired back with generous water intake, a minimum of 8 hours beauty sleep a night and a healthy, balanced diet – our Swisse ‘Less is more’ approach could just be your summer skin care saviour.
