As Summer approaches it can be easy to forget that your skin still needs to be hydrated correctly to maintain good skin health. When the heat makes us sweaty, we may look glowy on the outside, but it is vital to make sure your skin is receiving the right nutrients and products to protect the unseen skin barriers over time. Here are our top tips and products we love at Balanced to nurture good skin health and get that natural glow without damaging your skin. 

 

Tip 1: SUNSCREEN.

 

This often-overlooked step is actually the most crucial. By incorporating sunscreen into your routine, you not only

enhance the effectiveness of every product beneath it but also protect yourself from premature aging and reduce the

risk of skin cancer.

 

Selecting the right facial sunscreen involves considering your skin type, specific concerns, and desired finish. Whether

your skin is oily, dry, combination, or sensitive, we’ve handpicked options tailored just for you. Check out our blog here

to read more about which sunscreen is right for you. 

 

Tip 2: Hydrating skincare

 

Investing in a professional skincare range will save you loads of money in the future and having to spend on repairing your

skin later on. In our clinic we stock Medik8, a professional skincare range designed with technology to help restore your

skin’s natural texture, clarity, luminosity and glow. 

 

Our favourite products to increase hydration, prevent sun-damage, and take care of sun-damaged skin are:

 

Cream Cleanser: A rich, shea butter-infused cream cleanser that envelopes the skin in total nourishment, optimised for fuss-free make-up removal.

 

Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream: This deeply moisturising yet non-greasy cream delivers the perfect balance of daily moisture, exceptional texture and essential skin barrier support. 

 

Hydr8 B5: Infuse your skin with intense hydration and long-lasting moisture with Hydr8 B5, Medik8’s best-selling moisturising serum. 

 

Nourishing Body Cream: Envelop your skin in Nourishing Body Cream, a deeply hydrating body lotion to transform dry, dehydrated skin.

 

Tip 3: Stay hydrated; drink water!

 

Obvi one of the most important tips – drinking water! Summertime = SWEAT and sweat equals major h20 loss! Drinking water and staying hydrated is a vital form of skin care because it helps maintain skin moisture and elasticity. Proper hydration supports the body’s natural detoxification processes, which can reduce the occurrence of dryness, dullness, and breakouts. Well-hydrated skin is more resilient, has fewer fine lines, and appears more supple and radiant. While external skincare products help to hydrate the skin’s surface, water intake nourishes the skin from within, ensuring it stays healthy and balanced.

 

Tip 4: Invest in a hydrating facial 

 

Probably one of our favourite tips – invest in a regular Hydrafacial at the clinic to boost your skin’s hydration when it most needs it. Our non-invasive treatment improves skin health, addresses individual concerns, and creates a glow like no other. Unlike traditional facials, it’s performed via device rather than by hand, for deeper penetration and longer lasting results. This bad boy saturates the skin’s surface with intense moisturisers and nourishing, personalised ingredients. This one is important to pair with sunscreen to protect the skin barrier post facial. 

 

Tip 5: Inner gut health

 

Finally, one of the least talked about skin care tips that focuses on internally protecting and nourishing your skin. In clinic we

also stock the Imbibe living range, specifically the Beauty Renewal tonic. Working with the naturally occurring gut/skin axis, Beauty

Renewal is the cult-favourite probiotic concentrate formulated to rehabilitate healthy, radiant skin through targeted microbial balance,

enhanced cellular turnover, and nutrient-rich hydration. 

Microbiologist created and clinically formulated multi-action probiotics from eight broad-spectrum strains are fermented on

coconut water to synergistically replenish the microbiome with diverse bacteria, while naturally occurring electrolytes, minerals,

and antioxidants hydrate cells, restore cellular actions, and reduce bloating. Targeting the direct link between the health of the

microbiome and the health of the skin, Beauty Renewal revitalises confident skin and radiant health from within.
