Why this worksHot weather can lead to increased moisture loss from your skin, making hydration essential. Keeping your skin hydrated helps maintain its elasticity and glow, while also protecting it from environmental stressors. By using the right techniques and products, you can counteract the dryness caused by sun exposure and heat.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Regularly Use a gentle body scrub once or twice a week to slough off dead skin cells. This helps to reveal fresh, radiant skin underneath and improves the absorption of moisturisers.
  2. Hydrate with Oils Incorporate a nourishing body oil into your routine after showering. Oils lock in moisture and provide a beautiful sheen, giving your skin that summer glow.
  3. Drink Plenty of Water Stay hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This supports your skin's health and helps maintain that radiant appearance.
  4. Use SPF Daily Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage. Look for an SPF of at least 30 to keep your skin safe and glowing.
  5. Moisturise Immediately Apply a lightweight moisturiser right after you shower while your skin is still damp. This helps to seal in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to moisturise right after showering, which can lead to dry skin. Others may skip sunscreen, thinking they won't get burnt, but UV rays can still damage your skin. Lastly, over-exfoliating can irritate your skin instead of helping it.

The pro moveConsider adding a hydrating mist to your routine for an instant refresh during the day.
