6 Ways to Upgrade Your Clean Beauty Routine This Summer

The change of seasons is always a good time to revisit your daily skincare routine. Shaking things up a bit as the weather gets warmer will help you have fresh, glowing skin all summer long! We’ve rounded up some of the best tips to upgrade your clean beauty routine this summer. 

How to Improve Your Summer Clean Beauty Routine

1. Freshen Up Your Daily Cleanser

Your skin needs different cleansers in the summer months, especially with more time spent outside and probably some extra sweat. Be sure you are cleaning dirt and grime from your pores with a healthy, natural cleanser like our organic castile soap. 

2. Up Your SPF Game

SPF is an important part of a healthy skincare routine all year long, but especially in the summer months. Make sure you are using a daily SPF that will not only protect you from the sun but will make your skin happier and healthier. Always look for non-toxic products in your SPF and be sure it’s non-comedogenic to keep those breakouts away. 

3. Avoid Sun-Sensitive Products

During the summer months, you will want to steer clear of any products that will make your skin more sensitive to the sun’s rays. Products such as retinol or salicylic acid can cause you to have even more sun damage to your skin. Be sure to read the ingredients on any products in your current clean beauty routine and any you plan to add. 

4. Lighten Your Foundation Load

Summer means sun-kissed skin and lighter hair, which calls for less foundation as well. Using less foundation will give your skin a chance to breathe and you can show off your natural glow! During summer, switch it up and try out an all-natural BB cream instead.  

5. Cool Down With a Face Mist

A healthy face mist can not only actually cool you down after a hot day, but it will also calm your skin down. In the summer, your face is more prone to getting bacteria from sweat and oil. A face mist will rid your skin of bacteria and also naturally calm your skin.

6. Stay Hydrated

It goes without saying, you should stay hydrated year-round, but especially in the summer months. The extra heat and humidity will zap more of your body’s water content, so be sure you’re replenishing with natural foods and beverages.

And don’t forget, get out there and enjoy all summer has to offer!
