Natural After Sun Care

Summer is the perfect time to make the switch

To protect the skin from sweat, sunburn and premature ageing the summer months, look to lightweight natural products support and replenish the skin. Focus on formulations high in antioxidants to protect and repair, and those that contain hyaluronic acid for long lasting hydration. For added boost look for formulations with a base of lightweight oils like Jojoba Seed Oil to balance the skin and have natural humectants like Aloe Vera to soothe and nourish.

Summer is the perfect time to make the switch to natural after sun care. We aren’t suggesting a complete overhaul, just small changes that may have a big impact on that summertime skin glow. Here’s our top tips for natural after sun care:

After Sun Cleanse: remove SPF and excess sebum

We know the complexion benefits of a diligent cleansing game and proper cleansing is the first step in your after sun care routine. The warmer months can play havoc on our complexion as we spend more hours outdoors leaving the skin more exposed to the elements, excess oil and perspiration that can clog pores and worsen problematic skin conditions……Not to mention that very hard to budge but daily essential SPF.

When it comes to after sun cleansing switch to a lighter texture in the warmer months, like a gel or lotion (please nothing too foaming) that effectively dissolves pore debris, melts makeup and sunscreen while hydrating, nourishing and supporting a healthy skin barrier. A greasy and oily summer face can be hard to manage, but over-cleansing is real, and it leads to redness, breakouts and dehydration.

The Bloomeffects Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly is a non-foaming, non-stripping gentle facial cleanser that does just this. With tulip plant organic ingredients and Hyaluronic acid, the light, gel to milk  wash leaves skin cleansed, soft, nourished and refreshed. It is perfect for a double cleanse as it removes daily pollutants and oil easily and effortlessly doubles as a makeup remover, while a second cleanse nourishes and balances the skin. Summer breakouts be gone!

Keep Cool and Mist

The heat and the humidity can play havoc on our skin. Avoid exacerbating the problem! Switch out an alcohol toner for a botanical mist to cool the skin and keep midday shine and excess oil at bay. Don’t be fooled, botanical rich natural mists are potent skin enhancing hydrophilic powerhouses. Formulated with active compounds that not only freshen the complexion by helping to dissolve surface oil, they also boost hydration, and protect the skin from daily aggressors. 

Botanical mists work by ensuring the assimilation of oil and water-soluble vitamins. They help to “carry’ the actives in your next treatment. Think of them as a nutrient delivery system. Incorporate these into your morning and evening routine for plump looking skin in no time. 

To revive tired and stressed skin, we love AMLY Radiance Boost Silver Rich Face Mist. This ethereally light formula is a revitalising blend of silver-rich spring water, organic flowers and herbs, fruit actives and exquisite essential oils. Perfectly suited for oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin types, as well reviving luminosity and hydration in dry and mature complexions. And did we mention it smells divine? 

Natural After Sun Care to Hydrate and Protect

After cleansing and a spritz of botanical mist apply a face moisturiser that has both hydrating actives like Hyaluronic acid and antioxidant rich oils. The French Girl Rose Creme Lumiere smells divine while providing topical treatment after long days in the sun. Hyaluronic acid draws water to the skin, hydrating and plumping summer skin while Lavender, Rooibos, and Pomegranate extracts provide antioxidant benefits helping to protect against UV damage. It makes the perfect after sun lotion that is easily absorbed well suited to all skin types.

Natural After Sun Care for your hair

When it comes to after sun care don’t forget your hair. Between the sun, sand and salt summer hair can end up limp, damaged and dehydrated. To protect hair during these warmer months, switching to a moisturising natural shampoo and conditioner will help to nourish and rehydrate after a long day in the sun. A natural formulation with actives from the sea, can give hair back it’s bounce and shine. 

Mekabu Shampoo and Conditioner has a devoted and cult like following due to the nourishing power of the Japanese ocean botanical Mekabu. Mekabu is brimming with ocean vitamins and minerals that soften, hydrate leaving hair healthy and strong. 

MASAMI Shampoo and Conditioner is true natural haircare luxury. Not your typical natural shampoo, it smells clean and fresh, and hair is left tangle free – we know that can be a challenge with natural shampoo. It’s low foaming formulation adds shine and lost hydration for all hair types.

We also use the Masami Mekabu Shine Serum on wet hair for weightless shine and to boost hydration.  

Sleep On It 

Redness and pigmentation can often flare up and worsen in the summer months. To target inflammation and protect against pigmentation, twice a week replace your night balm with a lightweight, yet potent emulsion powered with antioxidants, peptides, minerals and vitamins. A simple night treatment that supports skin renewal and repair is perfect for waking up to calm, flawless skin. 

Venn Concentrated Revitalizing Lifting Mask is a decadent, leave-on cream mask, supercharged with antioxidants, peptides and water-solubilized Compound K. Compound K promotes collagen synthesis and helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity. Why we love it? It’s super easy, it works well alone or over other products as the final step in a skincare routine, to revive and treat all skin types. Used twice a week or daily as a sleep-in mask it improves skin texture and tone of the complexion.
