Summer Skin Saviors: Mission Derma’s Take On Skin Hydration
As summer approaches, the rising temperatures and scorching sun can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it dull and dehydrated. However, with the right skincare routine and the power of natural ingredients, you can keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and glowing all season long. Here’s our take on effective ways in maintaining optimal skin hydration during the summer, with a focus on incorporating natural ingredients into your skincare regimen.
Drink Up: First and foremost, hydration starts from within. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to replenish lost fluids from heat and perspiration. Additionally, indulge in hydrating beverages like coconut water, herbal teas, infused water with fresh fruits and herbs, such as cucumber, lemon, or mint. Proper hydration not only helps quench your skin's thirst but also promotes overall well-being.
Cleanse Gently: Choose natural cleansers during summer, to avoid stripping your skin’s natural moisture. Look for cleansers that contain hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or cucumber extracts. These natural wonders not only cleanse your skin but also soothe and hydrate, leaving it refreshed and ready to absorb more moisture.
5. Natural Moisturizers: Embrace the benefits of natural moisturizers to nourish and hydrate your skin during the summer. Choose lightweight, water-based moisturizers that contain natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera gel, or jojoba oil. These ingredients provide intense hydration without clogging your pores or weighing down your skin. Our very own Crack Derma is an excellent option for post sun relief due to it’s blend of soothing arnica and hydrating aloe. Lather your skin up in your choice of cream or liquid and watch your skin glow!
6. Protect & Prevent: Sunscreen, always! Sun protection is crucial for maintaining hydrated, healthy skin. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 applying it generously to all exposed areas of your body. Look for mineral-based sunscreens that contain natural ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for optimal protection. Remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you're spending time outdoors.
3. Exfoliate Regularly: Regular exfoliation is essential in removing dead skin cells that can hinder your skin's ability to absorb moisture effectively. Opt for natural exfoliants such as sugar, oatmeal, or ground coffee to gently slough away dead skin while stimulating blood circulation. Limit your exfoliation routine to a maximum of twice a week to prevent irritation
4. Hydration Boosters: Face mists and toners play a crucial role in keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day. Look for products containing hydrating ingredients like rose water, witch hazel, or green tea extracts. A quick spritz or gentle swipe with a cotton pad can instantly refresh your skin, lock in moisture, and restore its natural pH balance.
Don't let the summer heat leave your skin high and dry. Remember to prioritize hydration from within and shield your skin from the sun so you can embrace the summer season with confidence. Enjoy the sunshine while maintaining healthy, radiant skin all summer long!
