Summer is such a vibrant season. The sunshine gets us outdoors, boosts our moods, and connects us with nature. But after so much fun in the sun, our skin tends to need more TLC to recover and transition into fall.
Summer is perfect for soaking up the sun, camping dipping its the ocean and enjoying time at the pool but it can also be tough on your skin! More sun exposure can bring a host of skin concerns, such as:
Dark Sun spots
Dry / Dehydrate Skin
Lack of radiance
Clogged pores
Loss of skin fullness
There's a reason dry brushing has become popular. Here are some key benefits:
Why Dry Brushing is My Go-To, Along with Scrubs, During the Change of Season
As the seasons shift, our skin often reflects the changes in climate and environment. Dry brushing has become a cherished part of my routine, harmonizing beautifully with the revitalizing effects of scrubs. This simple yet powerful practice not only exfoliates the skin but also stimulates circulation, boosts lymphatic drainage, and helps to promote cell renewal. The gentle friction of the brush encourages the shedding of dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion—an essential step to prepare for the cooler months ahead.
When paired with scrubs, which bring a burst of hydration and rejuvenation, the combination becomes a holistic approach to skincare. Scrubs help to nourish my skin, infusing it with moisture and essential nutrients, while the dry brushing invigorates and preps my skin for deeper absorption of those precious ingredients. Together, they create a harmonious ritual that empowers me to embrace seasonal transitions with glowing, healthy skin. It's a lovely way to reconnect with myself, fostering a sense of self-care that resonates through every change in the air.
Skin Detoxification : The physical action of dry brushing is perfect for exfoliating rough, dry skin. It helps unclog pores, facilitating the body's natural sweat process to eliminate toxins.
Nervous System Stimulation : Much like a massage, dry brushing can uplift your senses by stimulating your nervous system, leaving you feeling refreshed.
Desquamation is how our skin naturally renews itself by shedding, but this can cause dead skin cells to linger on the surface. That's where our body scrubs shine.
Our Awakening Body Scrub offers these fabulous benefits:
Clearer Pores and Fewer Ingrown Hairs: Regular exfoliating with our scrubs keeps pores open and helps prevent pesky ingrown hairs.
Softer, More Even Skin: Say goodbye to dry, rough patches and hello to smooth, evenly-textured skin with our nourishing formula.
Frequency: For optimal results, indulge in a body scrub no more than twice a week. This ensures your skin remains hydrated and free from irritation, maintaining that perfect balance.
Timing: Treat your skin to a body scrub right after cleansing. This allows the scrub to work its magic on clean, refreshed skin, delivering the nourishing touch it deserves.
I love our Awakening Body Scrub—it's literally a spa in your shower, invigorating all your senses and keeping that joyful summer energy to brighten your mood as it starts to get darker and cooler.
