As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, summer is truly upon us. The change of seasons requires a change in your skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and glowing. At Butterflies with Beauty, we’re all about organic, handcrafted products, and we believe in the power of natural ingredients.
Here are our top tips for taking care of your skin this summer.
1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
The summer heat can take a toll on your skin, leaving it dehydrated. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. In addition, incorporate hydrating products into your skincare routine. Our handmade Ylang Ylang & Chamomile Cleansing Balm is made with shea butter, a nourishing ingredient that helps to heal and hydrate the skin.
2. Never skip sunscreen
Apply a good quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even if you're not planning to spend the day outdoors. UVA/UVB rays can still reach your skin indoors. A minimum of SPF 30 is recommended. For a safe tanning option try our Watermelon Spray Tan Accelerator. Spray liberally onto your skin before using a sun bed or going out in the sun to enhance your tan and nourish your skin. It is lightweight and can be applied easily, making it perfect for sun worshippers!
3. Exfoliate for brighter skin
Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin looking brighter and feeling smoother. It also allows your skincare products to absorb better. Our popular Clay & Coffee Bean Face Scrub gently exfoliates dead skin cells and improves circulation to improve the appearance and health of your skin.
4. After-sun care
Even with the best intentions, sunburns can happen. After-sun care is vital to soothe and repair the skin. Aloe Vera is known for its cooling and healing properties, and lavender helps to soothe irritation.
5. Love your lips and eyes
The skin around your eyes and lips is delicate and can get dry and chapped due to sun exposure. Use our Lush Lip Balm with olive oil and coconut oil helps to hydrate and moisturise your lips, and is available in sweet orange, lime and lemon.
6. Eat your way to glowing skin
Your diet plays a significant role in the health of your skin. Load up on fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that are rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and water content. Watermelon, cucumber, oranges, strawberries, spinach, and flaxseeds are all excellent choices for summer.
Remember, summer skincare is all about protection, hydration, and repair. At Butterflies with Beauty, we ensure that our products meet all these needs, using only the highest quality, organic ingredients.
Stay safe, stay hydrated, and keep your skin glowing all summer long, beautiful butterflies!
