Summer in Australia means sunshine, beach days, and outdoor adventures. While we all love the warmth, our skin needs a little extra care to stay protected and hydrated.
At Blooms The Chemist, we’re here to help you enjoy summer while keeping your skin healthy and radiant. Here’s our guide to your summer skincare must-haves.
1. Sunscreen: Your Summer Essential
A good sunscreen is the first step in protecting your skin.
Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen to shield your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays1.
Look for lightweight, non-greasy formulas that feel comfortable in the heat, and reapply regularly, especially after swimming or sweating.
2. Aloe Vera: Nature’s Soothing Hero
A little too much sun? Aloe vera gel is your go-to for soothing and calming sunburnt skin, as it can reduce the redness and discomfort caused by sunburn.
Why not try putting your gel in the fridge to give it an extra cooling effect?
3. Lightweight, Oil-Free Moisturiser
With temperatures heating up, your skin needs hydration more than ever.
Hydrate your skin without adding extra shine by opting for an oil-free moisturiser. Worried about blemishes? Look for a non-comedogenic formula, as it won’t clog your pores.
4. Lip Balm with SPF
Whilst you might remember to put sunscreen behind your ears and neck, you may be neglecting your lips. They’re just as vulnerable to the sun as the rest of your skin. Keep them soft and protected with a nourishing lip balm that includes SPF.
Blooms Tip: Worried you won’t remember all these Summer essentials? Natio’s Happy Gift Set has got you covered, as it includes a full-size gentle foaming facial cleanser, daily defence facial moisturiser with an SPF 50+, natural vitamin E moisturising cream and a moisturising lip balm with SPF 50+ in a handy large tote bag, helping you stay sun-safe while on the go.
Adding these to your bag before heading out to enjoy the sun means that you can enjoy the weather while staying sun-smart this Summer. With the right care, you’ll keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all season long!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Sunscreens are only one component of sun protection. Prolonged high-risk sun exposure should be avoided. Frequent use and re-application in accordance with directions is required for effective sun protection.
