Why Summer Hydration Is Your Skin’s Best Friend

The season of sun-kissed holidays, beach days, and parties have arrived, but as fun as summer can be, it can also take a toll on our skin. Between the harsh UV rays, chlorine-soaked pool dips, sweaty weather and missed hours of sleep thanks to your social life, the glow you worked hard on during the cooler months can be replaced by dry and dehydrated skin. But that doesn't mean you have to hide inside. Rosehip Oil and Hyaluronic Acid power our Hydration+ range to transform dry, stressed skin into a glowing complexion. To learn more about the range and why hydration is so important for the skin, read No More Thirsty Skin with essano Hydration+.

Summer Basics

Rise and shine daily with our Hydration+ Gel Cleanser – a gentle, soap-free cleanser that resets your complexion (perfect if it's been a sweaty night), leaving skin fresh, clean, and intensely hydrated. As the day winds down, indulge in a rejuvenating double cleanse routine. Our Hydration+ Micellar Makeup Remover, a tri-action cleanser, removes oil and makeup, leaving your skin cleansed, fresh, and soothed. Follow up with a second cleanse using our Hydration+ Gel Cleanser for a thorough cleanse without dryness.

To maintain your glow throughout the day, use our Hydration+ Toning Mist – not only prepping your skin but also revitalising and recharging tired and stressed summer skin for a balanced, dewy complexion. Carry it when you're out to hydrate and glow on the go.

Summer's increased oil production and sun exposure can compromise your skin's barrier, leading to water loss, dullness, and dryness. Integrate a lightweight, hydrating moisturiser into your routine for relief. 

Our Hydration+ Daily Facial Moisturiser, with its weightless texture, rapidly drenches skin in hydration, locking in moisture for deeply nourished skin.

Weekly TLC Treatments

Oil and sunscreen can lead to an increase in blocked pores and breakouts over summer. Indulge in our Hydration+ Pink Clay Exfoliator twice a week for a bright, smooth complexion. And if you're holidaying, our Hydration+ Moisture Sheet Masks should be on your packing list - they're perfect for delivering a burst of hydration for that holiday glow. And if your skin is particularly dry and dehydrated use Hydration+ Certified Organic Rosehip Oil to rejuvenate your complexion. 

Tips and Tricks for the Ultimate Summer Glow

Sea water, chlorine, and sweat are part of the deal come summer, but your glow doesn't have to suffer. A quick rinse after swimming, protecting your skin from the elements and incorporating products from our Hydration+ range into your skincare routine will keep your skin deeply hydrated and moisturised while you enjoy your summer.
