5 Ingredients Proven to Make Your Skin Glow All Summer Long

Jul 27, 2022

The hot summer sun can send our skin for a wild ride. With sweat-filled breakouts, to dry and patchy skin, it can be hard to enjoy the warm weather when our skin isn’t feeling hydrated, healthy and glowing.

Luckily, there are multiple natural ingredients found in essential skincare products that aid your skin in staying clear, hydrated, and dewy all while beating the heat! Here are five essential ingredients to incorporate into your skincare routine to make your skin as glowing as the summer sun!

Jojoba Oil

Produced from the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, Jojoba oil offers a multitude of vitamins and minerals that benefit hair growth, as well as skin health. According to a study conducted  by the National Center of Biotechnology, Jojoba oil produced a wide range of pharmacological applications, including antioxidant, anti-acne, and anti-inflammatory properties! As a humectant ingredient, Jojoba actively moisturizes the skin, keeping it hydrated and dewy throughout the day. On top of this, the oil contains a natural amount of vitamin E, which helps your skin fight oxidative stress caused by everyday exposure to pollutants and other airborn toxins[1]! If your skin is lacking that plump, flawless glow, jojoba is definitely the way to go!

Cucumber Extracts

Whether it's in your water, or a light snack, cucumber offers a hydration boost in all its forms, especially in skincare. Due to its 95% water makeup, cucumber extract fights inflammation, skin discoloration, and aging signs on the skin[2]. If your skin feels dull or drab in the summer sun, skincare products with cucumber extract can offer a burst of hydration that can really revive your skin against the harsh sun rays and drying heat!

Apricot Oil

Yes, you read that right. The small, orange colored fruit is not just a refreshing summer snack. Its oil also has incredible skin benefits that fight aging, roughness, and dehydration. Apricot Oil is the champion at fighting dirt and oil based acne, using its high antioxidant content to improve your skin barrier, and beat blackheads before they can even form[1]. Using Apricot Oil allows your skin to look supple, hydrated, as well as crystal clear. Say goodbye to summer acne, and hello to clean and clear skin!

Lavender Oil

With summer sun comes sunburns. It is essential for anyone spending time on the beach or by the pool to have a calming and detoxifying ingredient in their skincare routine. That’s why lavender is the number one essential oil to incorporate into your daily routine. When it comes to healing burns, cuts, and reducing redness, lavender is the best way to go. Lavender oil works to soothe and calm your skin, whether it’s a nasty sunburn, or even heat rash. Keep your skin healthy and protected by using a bit of lavender oil everyday!

Chamomile Extract

Summer skin damage should not be on your 2022 bingo card. Using Chamomile Extract can rapidly repair and protect your skin from further damage! Containing powerful antioxidants, when applied to the skin, chamomile extract immediately reduces signs of aging by protecting the skin! According to healthing, it “accelerates cell and tissue renewal” which helps the skin attain a youthful glow, all while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles[2]!
