Summer is the time for merriment, the beach, and holidays. The carefree spirit that the warmest season brings into our lives, combined with the sun's rays that our bodies take advantage of, undoubtedly places summer among the most beloved periods of our lives. However, excessive exposure to the sun, hot, and dry air can have anything but a beneficial effect on our skin. But by no means does this imply that you have to completely give up all summer pleasures for the sake of healthy and radiant skin. On the contrary: if you dedicate a little more time and attention to your evening facial care routine, you will restore your skin's natural radiance and prepare it thoroughly for all your summer adventures.

Why do we need an evening skincare routine in summer?

When the sun sets and the heat subsides, it's time for your skin to regenerate. This is crucial for the recovery of your skin after daily exposure to harmful environmental factors such as UV radiation, pollution, impurities, and free radicals, which can eventually lead to skin damage and accelerate the aging process. However, we often neglect or don't take our evening skincare routine seriously enough, which can eventually result in the development of new skin issues or worsen existing ones. To avoid this unpleasant situation, we at Hemptouch have prepared 5 steps for your summer evening facial care routine that will cleanse, moisturize, soothe, rejuvenate, and prepare your skin for a new carefree summer day.

1. Facial Cleansing

Cleansing the skin is the fundamental step in any facial care routine, and while we recommend both morning and evening cleansing, we can assert that evening cleansing is the step that should not be skipped. Throughout the day, impurities accumulate on our faces, and the hot and humid summer air further increases sweating, clogs pores, and often exacerbates acne. Therefore, the few minutes you dedicate to evening facial cleansing can truly be crucial for achieving a clean, healthy, and even complexion. To avoid skin imbalance and worsening of skin issues, we advise using a natural Facial Cleansing Gel without artificial foaming agents and ensuring thorough rinsing with lukewarm water.

2. Exfoliation

Don't be shocked if your skin becomes dull or uneven during the summer. It's just another proof of how intensely the weather can affect your skin. Therefore, to successfully combat the effects of summer weather, we advise you to exfoliate more frequently than you're used to: 2 to 3 times a week. This will awaken your skin and remove impurities and dead skin cells. Are you interested in preparing a homemade body scrub? The recipe is very simple, and you can find it in our blog.

3. Toning and Moisturizing

Although we're accustomed to the notion that there's enough moisture in the air to keep our skin hydrated during summer, it doesn't mean we can neglect the much-needed moisturization. Despite everything, the hot sun still dehydrates the skin, and the humidity in the air and extreme heat increase sweating, causing the body to lose moisture. In such cases, the skin requires intensive moisturization and support in establishing a healthy hydrolipidic barrier. Toning, which restores the ideal pH of the skin and provides moisture combined with antioxidants, is more than excellent support on this journey. Perhaps the most important factor in choosing an appropriate summer moisturizing product is that it contains ingredients that not only moisturize the skin but also retain moisture. Moisturizing essence for a radiant complexion, for this purpose, contains glycerin, which we simply cannot do without due to its numerous positive effects.

Soothing & Nourishing or Soothing & Balancing?

Indeed, it is the cream that captures moisture, softens, nourishes, and protects the skin. However, when it comes to choosing the right cream, you need to consider the needs of your skin and the issues you're facing. During summer, we're accustomed to our skin being more oily than usual due to various factors. If your skin is also dealing with excessive sebum production, we recommend the CBD Balancing face cream. For dry and dehydrated skin, the winning combination of natural extracts and hemp ingredients is hidden in the Nurturing Face Cream. But regardless of your choice, we assure you that both Hemptouch creams have a non-greasy lightweight moisturizing formulation, making them perfect for the summer season.

5. Strengthening and Renewing

The sun and temperature changes also affect the slowed production of collagen and elastin, causing the skin to become less firm. But for a youthful appearance and prolonged feeling of moisturized skin, the final step in your summer evening facial care routine will take care of it: the Luxurious Facial Oil Serum. If you want to extend the moisturizing effect, add a drop or two of the facial oil serum. This way, you will capture moisture in the skin, provide nourishment, and give it a fresh and youthful look for a longer period of time.

Summer Pleasures

As you wake up to a new summer morning, you will immediately sense the difference. Perhaps you may not be fully prepared to embrace the enjoyment of a new summer day before your first morning coffee, but your skin will undoubtedly be ready and eager. We believe that this will give you the energy to make the most of summer and indulge in carefree summer pleasures.
