Summer is officially underway and with that comes more time spent outdoors, regular beach escapades and lounging around the pool soaking up the sun’s rays. As much as we enjoy summer, the humidity and heat can wreak havoc on our skin, often resulting in dry or dehydrated skin.
To keep your skin looking healthy during the summer months, it’s time to hydrate, exfoliate and moisturise.
Exfoliate
An easy way to keep your skin protected during the summer is to exfoliate, preferably on a weekly basis. Dead cells sit on the surface of your skin and make it look dry, dull and rough. Exfoliating removes these dead cells, allowing the more radiant, healthy skin underneath to shine through.
Moisturise
During hot summer months our skin loses moisture. Investing in a good body lotion or moisturiser will help replenish moisture and keep the skin soft and smooth. Moisturisers don’t just add water back into your skin, they also trap in the water you already have to plump it up and protect it.
Using only the purest ingredients sourced from the raw African earth, Bodycare from Africa offers an extensive range of both exfoliating products (gels, body scrubs and salt scrubs) and moisturising products (body lotions, hand and nail creams and foaming hand washes) in various variants that will leave your skin feeling cleansed, moisturised, soft, silky smooth and radiant.
Argan Oil Range: Argan oil, traditionally used in Morocco, combines a rich blend of essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin E. Rich in vitamin A and E; it hydrates, softens and protects the skin.
Shea Butter Range: Shea butter comes from the nuts of the shea tree from West Africa, and is full of all-natural vitamin A.
Rosehip Range: Rosehip oil is extracted from Rosa Canina, which grows in many regions of the world including South Africa. Unlike rose oil, rosehip oil is pressed from the fruit and seeds of the rose plant to extract its oil. It is an organically certified oil that is full of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that do wonders for your skin.
Hemp Seed Oil Range: Hemp Seed Oil is harvested by cold-pressing hemp seeds and is made from the hemp seed itself and doesn’t contain any THC. Hemp seed oil has a wide range of benefits including those that improve skin health due to its nourishing vitamins and moisturising qualities.
Charcoal Range: Charcoal, a sedimentary rock was long used as a cosmetic ingredient by the people of gold coast in Africa. It acts as a veritable magnet for impurities, bacteria, sebum and oil, capturing everything that can cause imperfections. In addition to its purifying effects, charcoal also boasts antibacterial and regenerative properties.
