Many of us are back from a few long weekends and summer vacations, so you might have noticed that your skin has taken a toll from all of that summer fun.
Puffiness, redness, breakouts, and even scalp issues may have become unwelcome companions after weeks of beach outings and outdoor adventures.
Well, it's time to give our skin and scalp the attention they deserve with a post-summer detox and recovery regimen.
Counter Puffiness with Hydration
One of the primary culprits behind post-summer skin issues is dehydration. Hours spent under the sun, coupled with indulgences in salty snacks and alcoholic beverages, can leave our skin and scalp parched and puffy. To combat this, hydration is key. Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins that have accumulated over the summer months, promoting a clearer complexion and reducing puffiness.
Indulge in a Warm Bath
Few things are as soothing and detoxifying as a warm bath, especially after a summer filled with outdoor activities. Adding pink Himalayan salt to your bathwater elevates the experience to new heights of relaxation and detoxification. The mineral-rich composition of Himalayan salt helps draw out impurities from the skin, unclogging pores and promoting a healthier complexion.
Opt for Light and Natural Skincare Products
When it comes to post-summer skincare, less is often more. After enduring months of sun exposure, our skin craves gentle care and nourishment. Natural skin- and scalp-care products, such as Zeke's Blue Detox Clay Mask and Holistic Hair's Herbal Finishing Rinse Concentrate, can provide the perfect solution.
Formulated with gentle yet effective ingredients, these products helps cleanse and detoxify the skin and scalp without stripping away their natural oils. The soothing properties of clay masks can help calm inflammation and redness, restoring balance to both the skin, while the leave-in rinse neutralises alkalinity buildup in your hair.
Opt for gentle foaming cleansers and light, soothing moisturisers that won't further exacerbate inflammation. Once your skin and scalp have had time to calm down, consider incorporating an exfoliant into your routine to slough off dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. However, proceed with caution and choose exfoliants that are gentle enough for sensitive skin and scalp.
