The Best Clean Ingredients for Healthy, Happy Summer Skin
Summer is here and with it comes sun-kissed days, warm breezes, and the inevitable challenges that the heat brings to our skin. To keep your skin glowing and healthy, it’s crucial to nourish it with the best clean, natural ingredients. The power of nature rejuvenates and protect your skin, especially during the summer months. Here are some of the top key ingredients you’ll find in Essentiel for radiant summer skin:
Aloe: The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Plant
Aloe is packed with amino acids, potent vitamins C, A, E, B1, B2, and B6, and beta carotene. It soothes skin, treats sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, and acne, heals wounds, and relieves irritation. This powerful multi-purpose plant is great for preventing scarring and improving firmness. Aloe oxygenates the skin and, when applied to cuts and burns, soothes and reduces inflammation while expediting healing. With countless compounds, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, it’s no wonder this plant has such a long history of medicinal uses.
Calendula: Gentle Healing for Sensitive Skin
Calendula is beneficial to even the most sensitive skin types. Derived from the healing Marigold plant, this extract’s stimulating, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties may provide relief for issues ranging from diaper rash to athlete’s foot, eczema to acne, and varicose veins to bruising. Calendula soothes and heals, making it a perfect addition to your summer skincare routine.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Hydration Powerhouse
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in the body and acts as a skin sponge, capable of retaining heaps of hydration—holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water! Its incredible ability to retain moisture keeps skin plump and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. HA protects against free radical damage and ensures your skin stays hydrated and youthful.
Frankincense: Sacred Skin Soother
There’s a reason Frankincense is considered a ‘sacred oil.’ Frankincense works like a miracle to soothe skin. It contains natural antibacterial properties that help heal acne, infection, and fade age spots. Besides its many beauty-enhancing benefits, Frankincense has also been used for centuries to support spiritual growth.
Shea: The Ultimate Moisturizer
Shea Butter is rich in vitamins A, E, and F, minerals, proteins, and a potent combination of essential fatty acids. It restores skin’s elasticity, protects and conditions skin damaged by the sun and wind, and acts as a protective barrier against environmental toxins. It’s a must-have for keeping your skin soft, supple, and protected all summer long.
Harness the power of nature to provide the best care for your skin. These clean ingredients are not only effective but also gentle, ensuring your skin remains healthy, happy, and radiant all summer long.
Wishing everyone a warm and wonderful summer!
Hello, I was just wondering what would be the best product to use to cleanse my face before using your product? Also, and should I still use some kind of SPF on my face?
Hi Tensia, thanks for your question 🙂 I really like Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser. Or any cleanser you prefer with clean ingredients. And yes, a separate SPF is important. Sunscreens applied on top of Essentiel Moisture are more effective than those mixed within moisturizers. I recommend Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Mineral for Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF40. Hope that helps!
