Glowing Summer Skin: How to Keep Your Skin Balanced, Hydrated & Radiant in the Heat
Summer can leave your skin feeling both sun-parched and stressed. Between SPF, heat, sweat, and travel, your usual routine may need a seasonal refresh.
Switching to lighter layers, double cleansing, and keeping your skin hydrated are the key steps to maintaining a natural summer glow.
1) Switch to Lighter Formulas
Summer is the perfect time to lighten up your routine. Swap richer creams and heavier face oils for lightweight, fast-absorbing plant oils and serums that hydrate without weighing your skin down.
Many people avoid using face oils in the summer, but a carefully formulated plant oil blend can actually balance, hydrate, and revitalise the skin — unlike many creams and lotions, which often sit on the surface due to emulsifiers (and over 50% of them still have petroleum bases!).
Summer Hero Ingredients:
- Rosehip Oil – Lightweight, rich in natural Vitamin A and antioxidants to rejuvenate and protect
- Jojoba – Balances all skin types and mimics the skin’s own oils
- Safflower – Easily absorbed and helps support healthy, hydrated skin
- Ylang Ylang – Naturally balances oil production and refreshes the complexion
- Sweet Orange – Revitalises dull skin while uplifting the mood
- Lavender – Soothes irritation and provides natural antibacterial support
- Kukui Nut Oil – Packed with Omegas 3, 6 & 9 to gently replenish and restore
💡 PURE Tip:
We recommend PURE Regulate & Clear Face Oil or PURE Organic Cold-Pressed Rosehip Face Oil for summer. Use individually, or blend 2–3 drops of each in your palm to create a custom texture that adapts to your skin each day.
2) Double Cleanse for a Naturally Healthy Glow
Your evening cleanse is where the glow begins! Double cleansing helps remove SPF, sweat, and daily impurities while maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
Why it matters:
- Balanced, clear skin – Helps prevent congestion and breakouts triggered by SPF, heat, and summer activities
-
Brighter complexion – Prepares the skin for lightweight oils or serums to absorb effectively
Start with PURE Clean & Glow Cleansing Oil, massage gently, then repeat for your second cleanse. The first cleanse removes makeup, SPF, and pollution; the second draws out impurities, boosts circulation, and leaves the skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.
3) Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Even in hot, humid weather (and especially after a day in the sun!) your skin needs hydration. Air conditioning, flights, and sun exposure all pull moisture from the skin.
Choose light oils or serums to replenish without heaviness.
Our PURE Cold -Pressed Organic Rosehip Oil is ideal:
- Sinks in fast without greasiness
- Delivers a natural glow on cheekbones
- Packed with skin-rejuvenating vitamins and minerals
Therapist Tips for Summer Glow:
- Dewy Foundation Trick: Mix 2 drops of face oil into your foundation (on your hand) for a light, radiant finish.
- Morning Skin Hydrator: Massage 1 pump of PURE Clean & Glow Cleansing Oil onto dry skin, then pat with water and leave while you shower. The jojoba immediately starts to hydrate and replenish, and damp skin helps the plant oils penetrate in, helping to restore and balance the skin’s natural oils - and resulting in beautifully soft, glowing skin! The Sweet Orange & Neroli uplift the senses.
Don’t Forget Sun Protection!
SPF is your non-negotiable summer essential. Use a broad-spectrum SPF on face, neck, and décolleté daily — even in the UK.
- Apply SPF after your face oil or moisturiser each morning
- Reapply with SPF sprays during the day (perfect over makeup)
- Even if your foundation contains SPF, you still need a dedicated SPF layer before your make up for real protection
Your Summer Glow, Simplified
Glowing summer skin is all about light, layered hydration, thorough cleansing, and consistent sun protection. By adjusting your routine with seasonal hero ingredients like rosehip and jojoba, your skin will stay soft, clear, and radiant — ready for your sun-soaked adventure.
