Does Your Skin Have the Summertime Sads?

Summer weather is often a contributing factor to cranky skin. With an increase in heat and sun exposure comes dehydration, congestion, and an overproduction of sebum. Here are some tips to keep your skin balanced, happy and healthy:

• We know you're tired of hearing it, but the truth of the matter is that regular, consistent sunscreen application can decrease the loss of collagen, protecting your skin tone and texture from laxity and hyperpigmentation.

• Keep the exfoliation to a minimum! As usual, avoid using exfoliants during the day. Maintain a consistent schedule of exfoliating 2-3 evenings a week, however if your skin is recovering from a burn, skip exfoliation until the sunburn subsides. Don't pick at peeling skin! This can cause hyperpigmentation.

• Your water intake should increase as the outside temperature increases. Keep in mind sweat, dry air conditioned air and antihistamines all contribute to dehydrated and stressed out skin. Environmental factors play a huge roll in our skins health.

• Utilize a hydrator in the morning to help stretch your moisture retention throughout the day! Hyaluronic Acid based serums are perfect for this. Balancing sprays that contain minerals and humectants are great for keeping on hand to refresh throughout the day; hypochlorous acid sprays are a favorite for acne prone skin!

  Our Everything Facial Oil was created with inflammation and balance in mind. Formulated with Hemp Seed and Jojoba oils to mimic our skins natural sebum, they also offer a nourishing dose of antimicrobial, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that are ideal for keeping acneic and combination skin types balanced, while being gentle and soothing enough for reactive and sensitized skin. Whatever facial oil you decide to use, be sure to investigate the ingredients! Not all oils are skin-friendly, especially for problematic skin.
