It’s about Bali. It’s about Skincare. It’s about Time.
For many people, Summer is the absolute best time of year. Summertime is a great time for gardening, barbecuing and enjoying sun, sand and water. Basically enjoying the great outdoors.
While you’re enjoying the weather, don’t forget that your skin has unique needs in the summer. Your skin requires extra care to help it recover from bug bites and exposure to sun, wind and humidity.
Keep your skin cool, calm and protected with these six tips for summertime skin care
Summertime means sunshine, but it also means humidity and sweat which can cause breakouts.
If you tend to break out in humid weather, exfoliation can deep clean your pores and help keep your skin clear. It also increases circulation and can boost your skin’s natural healing process.
We suggest using a gentle, non-irritating exfoliant like our Green Tea Face Scrub and follow it up with our Green Tea Mask for brighter, clearer skin.
A cooler shower is better for your skin and hair because it doesn’t strip them of their natural protective oils. Some studies show cold water can even trigger happy memories. But during the depths of winter, there are few things less appealing than shivering through your morning shower. Soooo
Summer is a great time to take advantage of cool-shower benefits. Experts advise that shower water should never rise above warm. If it’s a hot or humid day, we suggest turning the heat down even more.
It’s great for circulation and alertness too. An extra bonus: you’ll save money and energy while you’re at it.
Summer is a great time to try a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer that won’t leave you feeling greasy or shiny on hot, humid days.
We suggest Amber Rose Dream Cream, our organic facial cream. It absorbs quickly and contains vitamins and antioxidants for soft, luminous skin (and it also smells great).
To use, simply apply a small amount to your fingertips and smooth it all over your face. Gently pat it onto sensitive areas, like your eyelids and the skin under your eyes. It absorbs in moments and will leave your skin soft and hydrated.
If your summer wardrobe includes shorts, capris, swimsuits and sleeveless tops, you may be shaving more than usual. Shaving doesn’t just remove hair—it also removes natural protective oils, leaving your skin dry and vulnerable to irritation.
To guard against razor burn and prevent dry skin, apply a thick, luxurious moisturizer like one of our body butters or body lotions after every shave. Switch out your razor or blades frequently to reduce the risks of microtears and infection.
Remember, your skin is a permeable layer. What goes on your skin often ends up inside as well.
If you can’t stay out of the sun, we suggest using a sunblock that moisturises as well like Bali Balance Sunblock 50+. It gently and naturally protects your skin with uva/uvb protection, zinc, raw coconut oil, vitamin E and Balinese aloe vera extract all in our signature unscented formula.
Sun and wind can strip your skin of needed moisture. After a day at the beach, your skin needs extra care to recover.
Apply a moisturizer that’s designed to protect and restore your skin before, during and after your time out in the sun or wind.
We suggest Lemongrass and Mandarin Body Butter, Rich African shea butter and virgin coconut oil help rejuvenate skin. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up when you need an energizing lift or an extra boost of hydration. Or our Bali Balance Bliss Body Lotion
With a few precautions, your skin can stay healthy and hydrated all summer long.
