Our Favorite Warm-Weather Skincare Hacks

JANUARY 19, 2022

Summer does wonders for our mood, but it may not be so great for our skin. Between the sweating, the melty makeup, and the UV damage, our skin can take a beating in the warmer months. That’s where our summer skincare hacks swoop in to save the (hot, sticky, muggy, sun-damage-y) day.

Before you apply self-tanner, ensure a smooth, even application by exfoliating first. Our Juju Bar is the perfect gentle bar exfoliator and works as well on the body as it does on the face. Or, for extra physical exfoliation and moisture below the neck, rub in our Sugared Koffie Almond Milk Body Scrub from neck to toe.

Stash B-Hydra in the fridge. If you catch a little too much sun, the chilled serum will cool and refresh the skin instantly. And we’re not here to judge, but load up on Umbra next time!

The sun’s rays cause wrinkles, fine lines, photodamage, and worst of all, skin cancer.

Which leads us to Umbra. Then Umbra some more. The sun’s rays cause wrinkles, fine lines, photodamage, and worst of all, skin cancer. Keep your skin as safe and protected as possible: Wear a hat, limit your time outside in the middle of the day, and don’t even think of going outside without your Umbra Sheer SPF 30. Or, if you want a light tint of color, apply Umbra Tinte SPF 30 before you put on foundation or concealer—it may be all the coverage you need.

We all love a summery glow; we all hate the skin damage the sun brings. Easy fake: Tap the tiniest bit of Virgin Marula Oil and D-Bronzi on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose for a pretty (and moisturizing!) bronzy highlighter.

Don’t forget your lips! Our Lippe Balm helps to hydrate and diminish the effects of UV exposure with vitamin C and green tea leaf. Toss it in your pocket, your bag, or any other place you and your lips go.
