Summer blossoms differently on each person's face, and to honor this diverse profusion of blooms we’ve compiled some key tips that will help bring balance, peace and radiance to summer skin in all its forms.
Refresh
with Tea Tree Gel Cleanser and Green Tea Clay Mask
The gentle cleansing action of Tea Tree Gel Cleanser is amazing for blemished, congested or inflamed summer skin.
Bodies beg to be moved during summer, beg to be danced, beg to be stretched, beg to swim, beg to stride along shadowed forest trails. Movement in skin care is created through regular Clay masking. Summer is an especially important time to be consistent about using a clay mask to keep skin clear, glowing and unburdened. Clay is dynamic, and when activated with a HydroSoul it truly comes to life. On the skin, clay draws impurities, clears stagnation, awakens vitality and nourishes deeply. Summer skin revels in a weekly mask of Green Tea Clay - which not only clears congestion but infuses the skin with an abundance of antioxidants bestowed by organic matcha green tea powder.
Hydrate
with Heart of Summer, Rose Geranium or Lemon Thyme HydroSoul
Integrating a HydroSoul into your daily protocol will completely transform the efficacy of your skin care and elevate it to the next level. The more HydroSoul you use, the calmer, softer and more luminous the skin becomes.
We use HydroSoul with cleansers, oil serums, moisturizers, masks, cosmetics and simply throughout the day to uplift and rejuvenate both skin and spirit. For summer skin — often oily, blemish-prone, dehydrated or combination, hydration is especially important.

Nourish
with Blue Cactus Beauty Elixir and Sea Algae Serum
Summer skin likes refreshment, hydration, lightweight yet nourishing oils.
Sea Algae Serum provides skin with a beautiful feast of antioxidants, and it also acts as a fantastic primer. Containing plant-based Hyaluronic Acid, bio-fermented kelp, and organic aloe vera, it adds a unique additional layer of hydration to your daily skin ritual.
Blue Cactus Beauty Elixir is a delicious summer-skin oil, being both lightweight, but deeply quenching, high in antioxidants, and profoundly cooling and soothing. Its sweet, damp nature is a perfect treatment for all fiery skin issues, which are always exacerbated by the heat of summer. Always remember to pair any face oil with your favorite HydroSoul for optimal synergy.
Seal
with Blue Cactus Cooling Balm
While not all summer skin will need this extra layer of moisture, for those who experience extra dryness in this season, this Balm is our favorite ally. Blue Cactus Face Balm is a dose of cooling and restorative desert moisture to quench and calm dry, flaky, sensitive and irritated skin. At its heart is prickly pear seed oil, a unique and nutrient-dense oil that is cold-pressed from the seeds of the opuntia cactus fruit. This potent oil contains the highest known amount of vitamin E of all plant oils (50% more than argan) along with polyphenols (antioxidants), phytosterols and vitamin K.
