As the summer heat reaches its peak, your skin’s needs shift to adapt to the intense sun, humidity, and longer days. A thoughtful skincare routine can help nourish, hydrate, and support your skin through this season, especially when you incorporate products designed to work in harmony with your natural rhythms. Alowe’s Face the Day and Face the Night oils are perfect for maintaining balanced, healthy skin from sunrise to after dark.
Morning: Rise and Shine with Face the Day
Your morning routine sets the tone for the day and mid-summer mornings call for lightweight hydration that allows your skin to breathe while offering nourishment. Alowe’s Face the Day oil is designed to harmonise with your skin’s daytime needs, giving you a radiant glow that feels as good as it looks.
Why Face the Day?
- Lightweight hydration: The summer heat can leave skin feeling oily or congested. Our Face the Day oil is carefully formulated with plant-based botanical oils that provide hydration and nourishment without heaviness.
- Support for sun exposure: While not a sunscreen, the botanical ingredients work with your skin to maintain resilience against environmental stressors.
- Radiance boost: The nourishing blend of oils leaves your skin glowing and ready to embrace the day.
How to use:
- Start by splashing clean skin with cool water and pat semi-dry, or if you use a face mist, spritz a light layer to prep your skin.
- Warm a few drops of oil between your palms.
- Gently massage the oil into your skin, focusing on areas that need extra love. Let it absorb before applying makeup, or mix with a skin tint or foundation for added glow.
Evening: Unwind and Restore with Face the Night
After a day of sunshine and sweat (sea and sand), your skin craves restoration and deep nourishment. Alowe’s Face the Night oil is crafted to support your skin’s natural repair processes while you sleep, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed and radiant.
Why Face the Night?
- Deep hydration & restoration: The rich blend of botanical oils replenishes moisture lost during the day. A soothing overnight treatment for overly sun-exposed or dry skin.
- Skin repair: Ingredients like blue tansy, prickly pear, calendula, tamanu oil, and other restorative botanicals help soothe and rejuvenate.
How to use:
- Gently cleanse your face thoroughly to remove makeup and impurities, then pat semi-dry, leaving a bit of dampness to allow for the oil to smooth on evenly.
- If desired, spritz with face mist to add a refreshing layer of hydration.
- Warm a dropper-full of Face the Night oil between your palms.
- Massage into your face using upward, circular motions, allowing the botanicals to work their magic overnight.
Tips for Mid-Summer Skincare
- Hydrate inside and out: Drink plenty of water throughout the day and consider misting your face with a gentle botanical hydrosol for a mid-day refresh.
- Check in with your body: Notice when your body and skin ask for rest or shade
- Exfoliate gently: Use our favourite 3-step weekly exfoliating ritual or a soft natural fibre facecloth once a week to remove dead skin and enhance the absorption of your botanical oils.
