Summer Skincare: A Simple Routine for July
In short: A simple summer skincare routine is cleanse, mask once or twice a week, shower and moisturise. In hot weather choose a foaming face wash, a cooling feel face mask, a light shower gel and a light face cream, and wear sunscreen when you are outdoors. Our vegan Ayurvedic range covers each step.
Heat, humidity and long days outdoors change how skin feels in July. Some people find their skin feels oilier; others notice dry patches. Here is a simple routine for the summer months.
How should you cleanse your face in summer?
Use a foaming face wash morning and evening to remove sweat and sunscreen. Our Cleansing Face Wash is a foaming gel with aloe vera and a soft floral scent.
Which face mask suits summer?
Our Red Sandalwood Face Mask with vetivert has a cooling feel on the skin. Use it once or twice a week and rinse with warm water.
What should you use in the shower?
Our Shower Gel with vetivert and ylang ylang leaves skin feeling clean and fresh, with an earthy, floral scent. Follow with our Aloe Vera Gel after a day in the sun for a light, cool feel.
Do you need a moisturiser in summer?
Yes. Choose a light cream and apply a small amount. Our Face Cream uses jojoba oil and cocoa butter, with a subtle herbal scent.
What else matters in summer?
Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen when you are outdoors, drink plenty of water, and rinse off after swimming. Our products are not sunscreens.
Who makes Holy Lama skin care?
Our creams, gels and oils are hand filled and hand labelled at our own factory in Kerala, India, by a family business that dates back to 1946. More than 80% of our workforce is women, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, and our body care is vegan, except Holy Balm and Lip Balm, which contain beeswax.
