With long days of heat and humidity wearing on us, summer is the perfect time to take a look at your skin and body care routine. There are simple changes you can make to improve your skin health without adding complicated steps to your process.
Let’s explore how you can support your skin using formulas that work collaboratively with your body’s natural functions.
evanhealy: Customized Skin Rituals
Your skin already knows what to do, so let it take the wheel. As part of our natural functions, our skin has a hydrolipid barrier, a delicate blend of natural oils and perspiration that protects and detoxifies our skin.
The evanhealy Oil & Water Ritual is a simple daily routine that nurtures the skin’s hydrolipid barrier. Rather than stripping it away, this two-step ritual infuses this barrier with powerful nutrients to help it self-regulate and thrive. evanhealy’s plant-based oil serums deliver deep hydration, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, while the HydroSouls plump and balance the skin’s pH.
You can pair any HydroSoul with any oil serum, but here are two available at the co-op to get you started:
- Balancing Ritual: Rose Geranium HydroSoul + Rosehip Balancing Serum, ideal for dry, oily, or combination skin.
- Calming Ritual: Lavendar HydroSoul + Rosehip Calming Serum, great for sensitive, reactive, or scarred skin.
Just blend and press the combination into your skin!
Komoni: Light, Botanical, and Delightful
Skincare is more than facewash and lotions. It’s keeping your hands clean throughout the day. It’s taking the time to relax, to push back on the harmful effects of stress on your body.
Komoni is a local brand that crafts small batches of bath and body care, known for the refreshing scents in each formula.
Start simple with the Four Thieves Hand Sanitizer, with a spiced scent that makes you want to use it over and over again. It’s lightly scented, refreshing, and free from parabens, polysorbates and synthetic fragrances. In the place of uncomfortable residue is a light mist that leaves your hands feeling softer.
Komoni’s Bath Soaks help to ease muscle aches, let go of tension, and leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed, taking care of you inside and out.
Fat and the Moon: Everyday Rituals that Reconnect
Fat and the Moon approaches skincare with a deep respect for the body. While their most popular items include the Aloe Lotion and All Cream (light, organic lotions that work with your skin to stay hydrated), that is not where the attention to bodily health ends.
The Fat and the Moon Deodorant Cream is crafted specifically to be applied by hand to your armpits each day. It not only gives you a moment to massage the skin, but also activate the systems that lie beneath it. Clusters of lymph nodes live under the skin of your armpit. By taking the time each day to massage that area, you can assist in your lymphatic flow – a natural function that flushes out waste.
This is also another cream that works with your body, allowing perspiration to do what it needs to do to protect the skin, without uncomfortable odors.
Small Rituals, Big Impact
You don’t need a big routine to take care of yourself and your skin. You just need a couple of simple blends and a few moments of intention to support your body’s natural systems.
