Four fantastic ways to keep your skin plump and hydrated through the summer, by Dr. Botanicals
The balmy embrace of summer comes with its unique challenges for skin health. Maintaining your skin’s hydration during this season is more vital than ever, as factors like sun exposure, air conditioning, swimming pool chlorine, and saltwater at the beach can be harsh on your skin, depleting its natural moisture reservoirs.
Don’t fret, though! Dr Botanicals is here with four fabulous, easy ways to quench your skin’s thirst and keep it looking radiant even in the harshest summer conditions:
-
START WITH A FRESH CANVAS: CLEANSE AND EXFOLIATE
Our skincare dance begins with a refreshing cleanse and exfoliation. A splash of cool water and our zesty exfoliator can stir your senses while giving your skin a rejuvenated feeling that you’ll cherish. Cleansing and exfoliation effectively sweep away dead skin cells that may lead to unwanted build-up and potential harm.
-
QUENCH YOUR SKIN’S THIRST: MOISTURISE
Our skin, much like our bodies, craves hydration. Moisturising offers two essential benefits – maintaining skin hydration and keeping dryness at bay.
Furthermore, summer sun can speed up skin ageing, leading to early onset of fine lines and wrinkles. By lavishing your skin with moisture, you’re actively fighting these signs of premature ageing.
-
SHIELD YOUR SKIN: DON’T SKIP SUNSCREEN
Summer spells sunny outdoor escapades! However, before you step out to bask in the beautiful weather, remember that your best defense against skin ageing and damage is daily sun protection, even on seemingly overcast days.
Sun exposure can dehydrate your skin, causing it to lose its essential moisture and burn the surface layers. So make sunscreen your faithful summer companion!
-
HYDRATION SUPERHERO: EMBRACE HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic Acid is the shining star of the skincare world, playing a critical role in skin hydration. Its molecules can hold up to 1,000 times their weight in water, making them incredibly effective at keeping the skin hydrated and moisturised throughout the day. Amp up your skincare routine by incorporating products that are rich in this super hydrator!
