Pack Your Bag: Summer Vacation Skincare Essentials

When packing for a summer vacation, it’s tempting to grab your tried-and-true products, but as temperatures rise, consider a shift in your travel kit. Adjusting skincare routines for the summer months can help address changes in weather, humidity, and increased sun exposure.

We've put together a list of three ways you can modify your skincare regimen during the summer, paired with items that will keep you feeling cool and hydrated in the heat.

 

1. Lighten Up Your Skincare Products:

  • Switch to Lightweight Moisturizers: Opt for gel-based or oil-free moisturizers that provide hydration without feeling heavy or greasy on the skin.
  • Use Non-Comedogenic Products: These products are formulated to be less likely to clog pores, which can be beneficial during the warmer months when sweat and oil production increase.
  • Incorporate Oils Wisely: Facial oils can help balance your skin's natural oil production and provide essential nutrients.

Keep your moisturizer routine simple with these summer-friendly picks:

CoQ10 Hydrating Cream
Maximum hydration without weighing skin down.

Jojoba Spray Lotion
A quick and effective coverage that never feels too heavy.

Supreme Serum
Can be used as a lightweight moisturizer

Essential Tune-Up Blend
Calm and rejuvenate with this light, non-greasy oil.

Hemp Seed Oil
Calming and soothing properties make it good for sensitive, chaotic, or unhappy skin.

 

2. Focus on Hydration and Oil Control:

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within.
  • Try A Lightweight Serum: A serum can help manage oil production, keep the skin hydrated, all while maintaining a lightweight, non-greasy feel.

Fast-absorbing serums are perfect for warmer weather:

Vitamin C Facial Serum
Gentle, effective, and nourishing

Rosehip & Hibiscus Facial Serum
A well-rounded daily addition to any routine

Equalizer Facial Serum
A lightweight serum packed with organic herbal extracts to soothe skin of all types while balancing moisture levels.

 

3. Stay Cool and Manage Sweat:

  • Use a Facial Mist or Hydrating Toner: Keep a facial mist or hydrating toner in your bag to refresh and cool your skin throughout the day. Look for products with soothing ingredients like aloe vera, cucumber, or rose water.
  • Blot Excess Oil: Carry blotting papers to absorb excess oil and sweat without disturbing your makeup or skincare products. This can help keep your skin looking fresh and reduce the risk of breakouts.

Make hydration your theme for the summer. Spritz for a moisturizing boost throughout the day!

Cucumber Facial Toner
A refreshing toner that balances and calms

Vitamin C Facial Toner
A powerful boost of Vitamin C + soothing and antioxidant-rich herbal extracts

Calming Calendula Spray
Like a refreshing drink for thirsty skin

These adjustments can help maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout the summer. Add them to your carry-on and refresh your skin on the go.
