Summer is one of my favorite seasons – I love warm temperatures and longer daylight hours. From being on the boat in the day to a friend’s backyard late at night, summer is definitely a fun time of year. While I love summer, my skin does not. From sunburn to break-outs to bug bites, the warmer temperatures can wreak havoc on my face and body. Here are some of my favorite all-natural products that can make your skin as happy as you are in summer.
Preventing Break-outs: Fig & Yarrow Summer Herbal Steam
A mixture of hibiscus, mint, red clover and other herbs clear pores and detoxify skin. For best results, add herbs to boiled water and allow to steep. Then, place a towel over your head to create steam and enjoy for 5-15 minutes.
Treating Break-outs: Hickory Ridge Organics Clear Facial Treatment
This organic and vegan healing clay and oat treatment can be used as a cleanser or mask. Mix with equal parts water and apply to face for 5-10 minutes.
Bug Bites: Brittanie’s Organic Bug Bite Relief
This USDA certified mixture of lavender and tea tree oil provides instant relief from bug bite itching as well as antibacterial protection. Especially important for those of us that like to scratch and pick at our bites.
Sunburn: Burt’s Bees Aloe & Linden Flower After Sun Soother
This all-natural blend of coconut oil, aloe, linden flower extract and bee pollen replenishes skin’s moisture level after a long day in the sun.
Skin Irritation and Rashes: Honest Company Organic Healing Balm
This USDA certified mixture of organic oils and extracts (chamomile, calendula and others) can soothe even the most annoying skin irritations in no time.
