Those of you that are die hard fans of the winter are probably dreading the summer, amirite? What sucks is that during the summers our skin gets all sorts of nasty - there's grease, sweat, pollution and then the next thing you know, we have blackheads and terrible texture! We get it, we really do, so here we are, giving you a solid list of skincare products that you should stock up on to protect your skin.
Summer Lovin': Give Yourself Some TLC & Invest In These Summer Skincare Essentials
Exfoliating Cleanser
It is extremely important to exfoliate your face and cleanse it well during the summer season. Sweating can make the skin look dull and dehydrated. But with the goodness of charcoal and sea buckthorn, Arotatvika has got your back. This vegan facial cleanser exfoliates the deep pores and helps the skin to hydrate well.
Sunscreen
SPF is the real bae. Nobody else! A solid skin care regime gives us clear skin that lasts very, very long. So we suggest you go for a light weight sunscreen that doesn't leave your skin feeling oily. Try Ilana Organics' Nourishing Sun Shield Raspberry + Carrot! This is a serum like formula that will absorb into your skin super fast and you'll feel like you've put nothing on at all.
Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C helps in preventing any damage that the sun does to your skin. It also helps in repairing the damage that's already been done (especially pigmentation) . We think that this Vitamin C skin care serum from Natural Vibes is essential for the harsh, hot months of the year. You're getting more exposed to the sun than usual, so you require extreme protection against it.
Exfoliating Toner
This AHA and rose water toner will not only hydrate your skin, but it will also, once again, help exfoliate dead skin cells and the dirt that builds up through out the day (sweat plus grease). Go ahead and invest in the Dr. Sheth's Gulab And Glycolic Toner, for better, cleaner & hydrated skin!
Lightweight Oil-Free Moisturizer
How can we forget a good moisturizer here, because the heat does parch our skin and further dehydrates it. So we say you invest in a lightweight moisturizer that doesn't clog your pores but still protects your skin's outer most barrier. Tvakh's marine oil-free moisturizer does all of this, so add this to cart soon!
Cleansing Body Wash
This Chakra Cleansing Body Wash will help you remove all remnants of sweat and dirt properly, and keep you smelling fresh af! With the goodness of Himalayan rock salt, coffee beans, and essential oils, this one from Bella Vita Organics reduces sun spots, redness and skin irritation caused during summers. It's affordable, it smells great and can be used by errybody!
Scalp Cleansing Shampoo Bar
Our scalps are obviously also, just as affected by summers. The sweat also builds up on our scalps and it leads to greasy dandruff, which can also cause a load of breakouts! So save yourself the trouble of dealing with acne, and just keep your hair healthy! How about using a shampoo bar from The Switch Fix? Their deep cleansing coal shampoo bars keep the scalp super healthy and clean, so invest in it, and never look back!
