Can you feel it? Summer is almost here! Which means it’s time to shed the layers of past seasons and embrace the long-awaited warmth on your skin. But before you slip into your favorite sundress or hit the beach, it’s essential to ensure your skin is ready to glow under the sun. With the right skincare routine, you can feel your most confident this season and achieve that coveted summer radiance. Below you’ll find our favorite all-natural tips to get your skin summer-ready.
Dry Brushing: Wake Skin Up
Dry brushing isn't just for winter; it's a year-round skincare essential, especially as you gear up for summer. This ancient technique involves using a natural bristle brush to gently massage the skin in circular motions before showering. Dry brushing helps to slough off dead skin cells, stimulate circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and ready to absorb moisture.
Exfoliate: Shed Those Layers
Say goodbye to dull, winter skin by incorporating regular exfoliation into your skincare routine. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, allowing fresh, radiant skin to emerge. Opt for gentle exfoliants like our all-natural Sugar Scrub which is made of raw sugar cane and an indulgent blend of skin-loving ingredients that will give you the skin of your dreams. Simply apply 1-2 oz on skin and massage gently using a circular motion, concentrating on rough dry areas. Rinse with warm water to reveal your smoothest summer skin!

Hydration: Get That Glow
Hydrated skin is happy skin, especially during the summer months when the sun can leave us feeling parched. Moisturizing is key for summer-ready skin, and carrier oils offer a natural solution to quench thirsty skin. Opt for lightweight oils like jojoba, almond, or fractionated coconut, which absorb easily without leaving a greasy residue. After showering or bathing, apply a few drops of your chosen carrier oil to damp skin to lock in moisture and leave your skin feeling silky-smooth all day long. Remember to also increase your water intake to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
*Pro tip: Add in your favorite essential oil to your carrier oil blend to address specific skincare concerns. Add a few drops of essential oils like lavender for relaxation, tea tree for its antibacterial properties, or citrus oils for an energizing and brightening boost. Not only will your skin reap the benefits, but you'll also enjoy the therapeutic effects of aromatherapy.
