Most of us love Summer ….it’s the perfect time to chill with family and friends and catch up on reading, relaxing and enjoying the beach and the great outdoors. All that extra fresh air and exercise is fantastic for our wellbeing but not so great on our skin and hair. Sun, wind, sea salt, chlorine, hot dry or humid days can all start to affect our skin and hair. If you can heal and repair along the way, you’ll be glowing and gorgeous right up until the end of Summer.
Here’s some tips…
Firstly! Drink heaps of water…that’s a given.
Next, protect your face with good moisturiser containing sunscreen and pop on a hat every time you go out.
Heading to the beach or out walking…it’s time for sunscreen, hat, sunnies and a rashie on the beach….naturally!
That takes care of keeping your skin protected from the elements but it’s also a good idea to lighten up your skincare regime and make sure you exfoliate a few times a week to get rid of any flakiness. Use a gentle exfoliator on your face and also try to use cleansing products without SLS foaming agents which can be very drying. Use a lightweight, natural face moisturiser with SPF every single day. Even a SPF 15 blocks about 94% of UVB rays.
Coconut Tree Everyday Face + Sunscreen is a creamy, lightweight daily face moisturiser and protector with natural sunscreen equivalent to SPF15. It has been formulated from a base of pure, certified organic coconut oil, blended with rosehip & sweet almond oil & boosted with antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins C & E naturally derived from Seabuckthorn and from Kakadu Plum – the richest known source of vitamin C. Designed to enrich and give long lasting hydration to your face, neck & décolletage whilst protecting from sun damage.
Don’t forget your locks. Pop a solar care product on your hair to give it some protection from the elements then make sure you give it a treatment mask as often as you can. Simple, natural coconut oil is ideal ….just comb it through and leave for a few hours or wrap it up overnight, then shampoo and condition and you will love your shiny happy hair.
Your skin will need a drink in the hot weather too so nourish & protect your skin with natural oils – after a shower smother yourself in organic coconut oil or Coconut Tree Body Balm. Coconut oil is an excellent natural skin conditioner containing medium-chain triglycerides which deeply penetrate, moisturise and act as a protective barrier against the aging effects of environmental and free radical damage. It absorbs quickly and helps skin retain moisture, promotes skin elasticity and keeps it looking young and supple and radiant.
Coconut Tree Coconut Body Balm is beautiful intensive natural treatment oil. 100% certified organic coconut oil enhanced and enriched with a lush blend of rosehip oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E. It has a gentle natural coconut fragrance and has been crafted to absorb quickly to replenish, soothe and protect your skin and leaving you with a non-oily healthy sheen.
That’s about it…keep it simple and as natural as possible and your skin and hair will be glowing and gorgeous right through summer.
