Summer Skincare Tips for Glowing Skin
August is here, and while we’re soaking in the last rays of summer sunshine, our skin might be feeling the effects—sun exposure, heat, sweat, and maybe a little too much ice cream. At Lovely Mama, we believe in nurturing your skin with gentle, plant-powered ingredients that love you back.
Here are our top August skincare tips to help your skin stay healthy, radiant, and refreshed—naturally.
☀️ 5 Summer Skincare Tips from Lovely Mama
1. Cleanse Gently, but Thoroughly
Sweat and sunscreen can clog pores, so it’s vital to cleanse without stripping your skin. Our NATURAL FACE SRUB made with coconut oil, rose oil, safflower oil, and bicarbonate of soda—gently buffing away buildup while nourishing your skin with essential fatty acids.
2. Stay Hydrated—Inside and Out
Drink plenty of water, but also hydrate your skin with light, oil-based moisturizers. Rose oil and coconut oil absorb quickly and help balance oil production while calming inflammation.
3. Soothe Post-Sun Skin
Too much sun? Soothe redness and irritation with rose oil's anti-inflammatory properties. A cold compress and a spray of our rose infused HYDRATE FACE MIST
4. Exfoliate 1–2 Times a Week
Exfoliation is key to bright, smooth skin—but overdoing it can cause irritation. Our scrub uses bicarbonate of soda for a soft polish that doesn’t harm sensitive skin. Perfect for after a long day outdoors.
5. Don’t Forget Your Feet
Open shoes and walking in sandals can lead to dry, cracked heels. Treat your feet to a gentle scrub and massage with coconut oil before bed. For runners, our upcoming Foot Care Balm will be your new best friend—stay tuned!
💬 5 Skincare Q&A’s with Lovely Mama
Q1: Can I use the facial scrub every day?
A: We recommend using our scrub 1–2 times per week. While it's gentle, over-exfoliating can lead to sensitivity. Let your skin rest and restore between uses.
Q2: Is rose oil safe during pregnancy?
A: Yes, when used topically in small amounts, rose oil is safe and soothing. Our products are designed with pregnancy in mind—always patch test first if you have sensitive skin.
Q3: My skin feels oily in August. Should I skip moisturizer?
A: No! Even oily skin needs hydration. Using a light oil like safflower oil helps balance your skin’s natural oils, preventing overproduction.
Q4: How do I treat a sunburn naturally?
A: Mix rose oil and coconut oil for a gentle, cooling blend. Apply it to the affected area and avoid sun exposure until healed.
Q5: Can I use the scrub on my body too?
A: Absolutely! It’s especially great for areas like elbows, knees, and feet. Just be gentle and moisturize afterward.
