Hot weather, sun exposure, air conditioning, and jumping in and out of water can zap your skin’s moisture, leaving it feeling parched and looking dull. You might even notice your skin showing telltale signs of dehydration: dryness, tightness, redness, or flakiness. However, summer isn’t the season to reach for thick lotions or creams. They tend to feel heavy, greasy, and stifling in the heat. So, what’s the solution? Hydration heroes that balance replenishment with a barely-there feel.
Oil-rich cleansing
Oil attracts oil, which is why oil cleansing is an excellent way to reduce surface sebum and product build-up without stripping moisture. Massage our Expert Replenish Squalane Cleansing Oil onto a dry face using dry hands, then rinse off with water. You can leave it at that or perform a deeper double-cleanse by following with a gel-based cleanser.
Lightweight layer
Dive into immediate and ongoing hydration with our 1% Hyaluronic Complex Serum. It delivers multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid and Pentavitin to leave your skin feeling plump, smooth, and quenched. It has a silky gel texture, ideal for gently pressing and patting onto your skin before moisturiser.
Must-have moisturisation
Our Moisture Defence – Normal Skin delivers hydration without the heaviness. Made with Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, and Kakadu Plum Extract, it helps replenish your skin’s moisture content with a fresh-feeling finish; perfect for those stinking-hot days.
For an added burst of hydration with a lightly moisturising after-feel, spritz on our Multi-Active Mist. It’s formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Lactic Acid to assist with enhancing moisture retention, reducing visible redness, and supporting a balanced-looking complexion.
Reliable sun protection
Maintain your skin’s health and hydration with our Face The Day SPF 50+ sunscreen. As well as providing UVA and UVB broad-spectrum protection, it’s also made with hydrating humectants plus Niacinamide for skin barrier-supportive and redness-calming effects.
However, sunscreen is one layer of defence - not your only defence - against the sun’s harmful effects. No matter the season or weather, ensure you also:
- Wear a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing, seek shade, and avoid prolonged sun exposure
- Apply at least one teaspoon (5ml) to each area of your body, i.e. face and neck, each arm and leg, chest and torso, back
- Reapply regularly, especially after swimming, exercise or perspiration
- Always follow the directions on the label.
