Watch: Moisturize Dry Summer Skin and Win $300 in Mineral Fusion Products!
Moisture is a must-have in the summer—even if you are living in a hot and damp part of the world, you are sweating it out (so be sure to drink plenty of water to hydrate from the inside). Despite the humidity outside, your skin could still be moisture-starved. And the drier your skin, the more obvious the wrinkles are.
I’ve spent my summer in Oregon, and it is crazy-dry here! (You may have heard about all the wildfires because of it.) Since my skin is already naturally on the dry side, it’s a double-whammy of Sahara-ness. Which is why I’m careful about my skincare—everything I use is hydrating and moisturizing. See my routine below, which fights parched conditions with smart natural, non-toxic products.
