Beyond nasty breakouts and excessive oiliness, summer can do some funky things to your skin—like making it feel and look as dry as the Sahara. Between the scorching sun and harsh product ingredients, it’s easier than ever for your visage to feel parched. But it’s possible to have the fresh, dewy skin you’ve always dreamed of if you follow the words of wisdom from our panel of experts. We promise: dull, dry skin will be a thing of the past much sooner than you thought.

Know What to Look For

The key signs of dry skin during summer may actually surprise you. Dehydrated skin can look flaky, red and dull, it can also feel itchy and taut, plus extremely dry skin can crack.

Think Beyond Drinking Water 

Remember that old beauty tip of drinking eight glasses of water? Sadly, it may no longer be enough. Doing your best to maintain a healthy lifestyle will yield the best results. That routine includes drinking water regularly. However, eight glasses of water alone won’t give us that lit-from-within glow.

Read Your Labels Carefully 

What’s in your products is equally as important as what they promise to deliver. Want to add extra moisture? Look for ingredients such as rose water, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, argan oil, shea butter, vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, and cocoa butter. You should also stay away from products containing alcohol and harsh chemicals, which can zap moisture.

Think About Long-Term Effects

When your skin is dehydrated, its not at the optimal level to protect itself against fine lines and wrinkles. Hydration is necessary for your body and skin to function properly. The fundamental overall health and well-being of our skin is highly dependent on skin being properly hydrated. When skin is dehydrated, not only does it look and feel uncomfortable, all the key functions of our skin may be compromised, leading to premature aging and skin that lacks a healthy appearance.

Incorporate a facial mist into your routine

When your skin feels dry and tight, your first reaction might be to grab your favorite face lotion—but you might want to reconsider. Just a few sprays of our Deep Hydration Beautifying Rose Mist can help revive the appearance of the skin, reducing the visible effects of oxidative stress and strengthening the skin barrier over time.

Reach for the Beautifying Rose Mist to keep your skin looking moisturized and fresh throughout the day, to soothe your skin before going out at night, and to refresh dehydrated skin while travelling. Pure White’s Beautifying Rose Mist is a convenient on-the-go skincare solution for hydrated, glowing skin in an instant.

Enter moisturizing face masks

With a similar effect on your skin as chugging a tall glass of water when you finally step inside somewhere with AC on a humid day, these treatments quickly give complexions the shot of moisture they need. Try our Deep Hydration Instant Plumping Cream Mask that quickly melts into the skin, significantly protecting against water loss and leaving the skin intensely moisturized. This enables the powerful actives to help promote the appearance of hydrated, revitalized-looking skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines. The rich formula infuses skin with powerful moisture-enriching actives, resulting in smoother, more luminous skin in minutes.

Use a rich body cream 

Dip in for soft, silky skin during summer with our rich, ultra-hydrating Deep Hydraton Triple Rose Body Cream. It combines three ancient holistic rose ingredients— damask rose, cabbage rose and musk rose. These three natural, luxuriously scented skin nourishers are whipped and churned into a decadent, butter-rich, nutrient-dense concentrate that hydrates skin, seals in moisture, and protects against environmental aggressors. Absorbs quickly into the skin to hydrate sensitive, dry, rough patches from head to toe.
