Summer Skin Survival Guide: Hydrate Without the Heaviness

Ah, British summer. One minute it’s blazing sunshine, the next it’s raining sideways while we’re still holding our ice lollies. But whether you’re basking in unexpected heatwaves or dodging sudden showers, your skin still deserves some seasonal TLC. Summer brings its own skincare challenges, think dryness from sun exposure, humidity-induced greasiness, or that mysterious combo of both. The good news? You don’t need heavy creams or sticky lotions to keep your skin glowing.

Let’s talk hydration that feels light-as-air but works hard behind the scenes.

Why Hydration Still Matters in Summer

When it’s warm (or muggy, or warm-then-muggy-then-suddenly windy), it’s tempting to skip moisturising altogether. But your skin still loses water especially with sun exposure, saltwater, air conditioning, and even sweating. A lack of hydration can lead to tightness, flakiness, and increased oil production as your skin tries to compensate.

The key? Layering hydration in a lightweight, breathable way.

Post-Shower Skin Love: Body Soufflé

Think of this as dessert for your skin whipped, soft, and deliciously absorbent. Our Body Soufflé is packed with nourishing plant butters and oils but feels feather-light. It sinks in effortlessly, leaving your skin soft and moisturised without any greasy film. Perfect for post-sun, post-swim, or post-sudden-downpour. We love using this on our parched skin but the warm weather also plays havoc with our deliveries of this gorgeous product. Until the cooler weather comes you can only buy them at locall events and markets we are attending. (If you simply can't wait in person delivery may be available if your in the local area to me *ask me)

💡 Tip: Apply straight after your shower or bath, when your skin is still slightly damp. This helps lock in hydration and boosts absorption.

Target Trouble Spots with The Everywhere Balm
