As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, it's time to revamp our skin care routines to embrace the summer season. Rather than resorting to extreme beauty measures, we believe in a holistic approach to skin care that focuses on nourishing the body from within, using natural products, and promoting graceful aging. 

Let’s explore some essential summer skin care tips that encompass a full-body approach, including nourishing foods, our very own Merigold powdered facial mask, and promoting long-lasting beauty.

The food we consume plays a crucial role in the health and radiance of our skin. During the summer, prioritize hydrating foods that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Some skin-loving foods include: 

Water-rich fruits and vegetables: 

Enjoy the refreshing goodness of watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, and citrus fruits. These foods help keep your skin hydrated and provide essential vitamins and antioxidants.

Healthy fats: 

Include foods like avocados, nuts, and seeds in your diet, as they are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which promote skin elasticity and a healthy complexion.

Green leafy vegetables: 

Spinach, kale, and broccoli are excellent sources of antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals that support collagen production and protect the skin from sun damage.

Plan to care for your skin daily by using an oil cleanser that is both gentle and effective. Trading out some of those harsher aggressive products with a cleanser that isn't stripping away your skin's natural microbiome and oils.

Give your skin a little extra love with our Merigold powdered face masks. Made from all-natural ingredients, these masks are designed to purify, exfoliate, and rejuvenate your skin. By gently removing impurities and dead skin cells, your skin will be left refreshed and glowing.

To use our face masks, simply mix 1 tablespoon of the powdered mask with water or your preferred liquid to form a paste. Apply it evenly to your face, avoiding the eye area, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off. Enjoy this weekly self-care ritual to maintain a healthy complexion throughout the summer.

At Merigold, we believe in embracing the natural aging process and promoting graceful aging. Which we believe is not exclusive to supporting your skin for a radiant and glowing appearance:

Protect your skin from the sun: 

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days. Wear protective clothing and seek shade during peak sun hours to prevent premature aging and reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Stay hydrated: 

Hydrated skin is plump and less prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Drink plenty of water and incorporate hydrating products into your skincare routine.

Get enough sleep: 

Quality sleep is essential for skin repair and rejuvenation. Aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night to keep your skin looking fresh and well-rested.

Practice stress management: 

Chronic stress can accelerate the aging process and negatively impact your skin's health. Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature to promote overall well-being.

Summer skin care is all about adopting a holistic approach that nourishes the body, uses natural products like our Merigold powdered facial mask, and embraces and supports graceful aging. By prioritizing nutrient-rich foods, pampering your skin with our weekly mask, and practicing healthy habits, you can achieve radiant and healthy skin throughout the summer and beyond. Remember, true beauty comes from within, and embracing your unique self is the most powerful beauty measure of all.
