Skincare Must Haves for Spring/Summer

The weather is warming up which means more time spent outdoors in the
sun.

Often at this time of year we reach for commercial chemical filled products to “protect” our skin. These products can cause more harm than good, which is why we have created natural products that are safe for the whole family to use.

To make the summer swaps easy, we’ve put together a list of our top 5 spring/summer beach bag must haves:

1. Sun Protection

Commercial sunscreens are mostly synthetic and contain chemical
compounds which can irritate the skin. Recent research by the cancer
foundation (USA) indicated that it was some of these commercial sunscreens
that contributed to the development of cancer due to their chemical additives.

Our Sun Protection Lotion is full of natural ingredients which have Sun Protective Factors (SPF) that allow your skin to absorb the benefits of the sun without the harmful damage.

2. Insect Repellant

Like sunscreens, most insect repellent products are full of nasty toxic chemicals that should not be applied to your skin and can be especially dangerous for children.

Our Essential Bug Blitz contains only natural, organic, safe and effective
ingredients know for their insect repellent properties. It smells amazing and is
safe for the whole family to use.

3. Natural Deodorant

Naturally we sweat more during the summer months. It may be embarrassing
for some, however allowing your body to sweat is actually a good thing. It
helps your body to naturally regulate temperature as well as detoxify from the
inside out.

Using natural deodorants can help your body to sweat naturally without
feeling smelly or unhygienic.

The magnesium in our deodorant helps to neutralize odours while essential oils
provide antibacterial properties.

We have two deodorants in our range. Magnesium Roll-On Deodorant and
Sandalwood and Magnesium Deodorant Paste.

4. Skin Soothing

The warmer weather can bring with it allergies, burns, bites and stings. While
we can’t always avoid it we can be prepared.

Calendula Soothing Balm is a must have for summer activities. It provides
soothing relief to skin irritations and promotes healing when the skin is
broken.

Applying a small amount inside the nostrils can help sufferers of hay fever by
creating a protective layer that helps to trap pollens and reduce inflammation.

5. Hair Care

Not technically skin, however hair needs love and protection during the
warmer months too.

It can become dry and broken from hot dry weather as well as tangled and damaged from time spent in the beach or pool.

Our Leave-In Conditioner with borage oil, rosemary and MSM can help keep
summer hair soft and manageable. Great for beach days or camping trips.
