Ten Summer Inspired Ingredients For A Sunny Complexion
The thought of summer is such a nice, warm feeling, we think of long days, warmer temperatures and being outside more… which all helps to improve our moods and psyche.
Another great thing about the summer is all the yummy fruits and veges and summer flowers, with an abundance of botanical ingredients, adding a little summer inspiration to your daily routine can be easy peasy!
Switching up your skincare routine each season is a great practice to adopt as well. Your skin changes due to factors such as the weather, environmental influences, temperatures, humidity and lifestyles. These all change with the seasons so you may find your skin changes too and needs different beneficial ingredients to keep your complexion healthy.
In the summer for example; you will most likely find your skin feels a little more dehydrated from the higher temperatures, oily skins may find they produce a little more oil than normal and you will need to make sure you wear mineral SPF all day, every day!
Why not switch up your routine this summer and look for Eminence products with a summer twist!
Ten Summery Ingredients Found in a Variety of Eminence Products:
