☀️ Summer Skincare: Clean Beauty Essentials for Glowing Skin
Summer means sunshine, salty air, and long days outdoors — but it also means heat, sweat, UV exposure, and dehydration can leave your skin feeling anything but radiant. The solution? A clean, simple, skin-loving routine that keeps your glow intact all summer long.
Here are the must-have clean beauty essentials to help your skin stay healthy, hydrated, and naturally luminous this summer.
1. Start Fresh: A Clean, Gentle Cleanser
A great summer routine begins with the right cleanse. Heat, sweat, sunscreen, and outdoor time can leave skin feeling congested — but harsh stripping cleansers do more harm than good.
Choose a clean, gentle cleanser with botanical ingredients that purify without removing essential moisture.
Why it’s essential in summer:
Pro tip: If you’re using heavier SPFs or spending long days outside, consider a double cleanse in the evening — starting with a clean beauty oil or balm cleanser followed by a gentle gel or cream cleanser.
Our Pick – we love the Lilfox Amazon After dark as our first cleanse – beautiful lightweight balm cleanser. You can also use this as your 2nd cleanse, just do the first cleanse on dry skin and your 2nd cleanse add a little water for a lighter consistency. Alternatively use the Lilfox Tomato Cleanser as your 2nd cleanse. The Shiva Rose Blue Butter Cleansing balm is also perfect.
2. A Refreshing Botanical Mist for Instant Hydration
Heat and sun can leave your skin tight and thirsty. A hydrating face mist made with pure botanical ingredients is the perfect pick-me-up.
How to use it:
Our Pick – The Lilfox Bitter Orange Toning Mist with Neroli – incredible fresh scent for summer.
3. Vitamin C Serum: Your Daily Defence Against UV Damage
Summer = increased free radical exposure.
A clean vitamin C, serum helps brighten, protect, and even out the skin tone.
What it does:
Our Pick – The Lilfox Haute C with 15% Vitamin c or the Mara Sea Vitamin C Serum.
4. Non-Toxic Physical Sunscreen — Your Summer Non-Negotiable
For daily sun protection opt for a clean, physical sunscreenthat uses zinc oxide instead of chemical UV filters.
Why it matters:
Our Pick – The Avocado Zinc natural Body Sunscreen SPF 30 and the Avocado Zinc Natural tinted sunscreen SPF 50
5. Lightweight Moisture for Breathable Hydration
Swap your rich winter creams for a lightweight cream or face oilthat hydrates without heaviness.
These ingredients keep your moisture barrier happy without clogging pores in hot, humid weather.
Our Pick – Lilfox Prickly Pear , Mara Universal Face oil, Shiva Rose Rose face oil
Final Thoughts
Summer skincare doesn’t need to be complicated — just good quality clean ingredients, lightweight, and protective. With the right essentials, you can enjoy the sunshine while keeping your natural glow all season long.
