Summer is the perfect time for a healthy skin glow. However, with rising temperatures and increasing humidity comes the need to protect your skin. Your skin is your body’s first line of defence against the unfavourable aspects of a Middle Eastern summer, so a little extra time spent on a skincare routine to protect your skin barrier from environmental factors will keep you sane. Just a few simple changes in your everyday skincare regimen can set you up to glow throughout the season.

For a true and effortless summer glow, you can put your bet on the Herbal Essentials ‘Radiance’ range. Featuring an illuminating mask, gentle renewal scrub, miracle cleanser and brightening cream, you can add these mineral-rich summer essentials into your skincare routine this season.

Below are three essential tips from training Dermatologist and Herbal Essentials Ambassador, Dr Kemi Fabusiwa, to help you care for your precious skin, this summer, and achieve that healthy skin glow.

Summer Skincare for a Healthy Skin Glow

Exfoliate and brighten

Exfoliation and brightening are key for a radiant glow. Exfoliation helps to remove the upper layer of dead and dying skin cells paving the way for fresher, younger skin underneath. And for brightening, you would need ingredients such as vitamin C and E which also helps rejuvenate skin cells. As with anything in skincare, consistency is key. The right skincare routine alongside a healthy balanced diet and protection from the sun will eventually lead to healthier glowing skin.

Hydration

If you suffer from dry skin, a hydrating cleanser that contains moisturising elements such as the Herbal Essentials Miracle Cleanser with Sunflower Oil & Glycerin should be perfect. The balm cleanser leaves your skin feeling clean and moisturized. The Herbal Essentials Himalayan Micellar Water is a favourite for those wanting an effective method to remove makeup and cleanse the skin gently without causing irritation.

Mask it up

For skin that’s prone to breakouts, using a clay mask to draw out impurities from deep within the pores will be great. The Herbal Essentials Illuminating Mask with Papain and Honey is perfect for exfoliation and rejuvenation, and for a brighter, revitalised complexion that will result in a healthy skin glow.
