Summertime Skincare Routine

Changes in the climate during summertime mean that we should relook at our face routine to make sure our skin is looking and feeling its best. Summer is especially the time when we all want to look our best, it is the time when we tend to expose more skin than usual, plus we tend to be out and about more than other times of the year. Our face is a key part of our look and so having a good summer routine with our natural anti-ageing face products can help to keep your skin looking clear and fresh all summer long. Read on to see how our skincare routine cam help to keep your skin looking great.

The key thing is to have good natural skincare products and that is important in summer and winter alike. But there are additional tweaks and switches that should also be made in summertime, especially on hot days. See our skin care routine below that walks through the steps and reasons behind them. These work to keep skin looking great in the longer hotter days.

1. Good cleansing is essential all year round but needs an extra dimension during summertime. Extra cleansing is important because skin tends to get a lot grubbier in summertime. This is because we are outside more and also tend to get sweatier, and we use SPF which needs to be cleaned away at the end of the day. We should spend more time cleansing at the end of the day to take this into account. Then again in the morning as during summer nights we also tend to sweat more than in winter, so good cleansing is then also important when we wake up. We always recommend using a kind natural cleanser that is never drying or striping. A drying face cleansing is just going to cause skin to produce more oil, which is not helpful at any time, and especially on a hot day. Instead, use a kind one like our Natural Cleansing Milk and continue using it until the face is clean, or opt for our Natural Face Wash instead. Our face wash is a great way to quickly and easily clear away all the grime of summer, such as sweat and SPF. Then follow with our natural Natural Toner. To exfoliate use our Natural Exfoliator to give your give a deeper down renewing cleanse. 
2. One thing that does not need switching up in summertime is facial treatments, as these should be used all year round. As long as they are high performing products, they will be strong enough to help skin to recover from any unplanned sun exposure. At Nakin we develop award-winning plant based anti-ageing skincare and our treatment products help skin to resist and correct the signs of ageing. Use our Natural Face Serum to help smooth lines, hydrate and condition skin, including sun damage issues like pigmentation. Then apply our Natural Face Oil to nourish and revitalise skin. For the eye area use the Natural Eye Cream Complex which is hydrating, reduces lines, circles and puffing. The silky springy formula never weighs skin down and is lovely for use all year round. Using these products will ensure smooth continuation of actives that skin greatly benefits from.
3. Hydration is still important even in summer, and many of us still have dry areas of skin in the hotter months. If you do not have dry skin then you might want to switch up to a lighter moisturiser, especially in high summer. We have two face creams to choose from and our lighter one is our Natural Matt Cream which is designed for oily, combination, normal and sensitive skin. Although some customers with drier skin still switch to this in high summer, as it still offers lots of hydration, but without a dewy finish. For those with drier skin types the Natural Dew Cream has more of a hydrated finish and can still be used in summer.  
4. Lips need lots of care in the summer and winter and our natural lip balm is a lovely product that is full of goodness, it gives lips a nice sheen without stickiness.
5. One essential all year-round product and especially in summertime is sunscreen. During summer there is a lot more UV light around and it is also much stronger. So, covering skin with clothes and sunscreen is essential. We also recommend using a water-resistant sun cream in summertime and this is because we tend to sweat more in summer, which can reduce the amount of time a non-water-resistant SPF product can work. Pay particular attention to upper lips, cheeks and forehead. This will keep your vulnerable skin protected from the sun and remember to apply a SPF to the lips as well. Reapply sun cream regularly and to all areas of exposed skin.
6. Lastly take extra care to stay hydrated as this helps our skin and whole system to function as effectively as possible, plus helps to keep our skin clear and glowing.

Our products offer an excellent summertime skincare routine due to their unique blend of natural ingredients and effectiveness in helping skin to look great naturally. During the summer months, skin is often exposed to increased levels of UV radiation, which can lead to premature ageing, dryness, and damage. Nakin's range includes products specifically formulated with nutrients, hydrating agents, and botanical extracts that work together to nourish and improve the skin. Our moisturisers and serum contain hyaluronic acid and plant oils that help maintain hydration and repair sun-stressed skin. Moreover, the inclusion of anti-inflammatory ingredients ensures that any potential irritation or redness is soothed, leaving the skin looking and feeling revitalised. Thus, Nakin's skincare line enhances the skin's appearance and offers the essential care needed during the summer.

We hope that you found our advice helpful on skin care changes that you might want to consider in summertime. This is because our skin requirements change in the warmer weather as it contends with the effects of greater daylight, humidity, UV rays and air conditioning systems. Nakin’s range helps skin to look fantastic all year round, to find out more about us and our modern natural formulations take a look at the links below.
