How You Can Keep Your Skincare Organic This Summer

The sunny April weather has brought an early reminder that the changes of seasons will mean a significant shift in your skincare regime. You will be spending much more time outdoors and you will need a lot less moisturiser to tackle dry skin, while facing the challenge of a hot sun.

Warm sunny weather means your skin will naturally produce more moisture, from oils to sweat, but, of course, it may be damaged by excessive UV exposure, especially if you have very fair skin.

Among the problems this can cause are the short-term pain of sunburn, but also longer-term perils such as skin cancer and reduced elasticity, which causes wrinkles as you get older.

This is why now is the time to find the right products ready for the summer, so make sure to check out our range to find the best natural skincare product for you.

It is important to do this carefully, because while there is plenty of advice out there on how to care for your skin in the summer sun, the focus will almost always be just on what the products do for your skin and not whether they are organic or environmentally friendly.

For example, hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance in the body and products with it can help with hydration, but as many a chemist knows, it can be manufactured synthetically, so be careful when anyone refers to it as ‘organic’ or ‘natural’.

This, of course, is the kind of classic greenwashing that we are familiar with and the cosmetics industry does on a large scale to try to pass off synthetic - and often environmentally damaging substances and processes - as ‘green’.

You can avoid that this summer by ensuring that you only choose genuinely organic products, ensuring that it is not just you and your skin that are safer and happier under the summer sun, but the third planet that orbits it as well.
