Welcome to your skincare routine for July 4th 2023! Independence Day is the perfect time to start taking care of your skin and preparing it for the summer months ahead. With the right products and routine, you can keep your skin looking and feeling its best all summer long.

In this guide, we’ll cover the best products and tips for a summer-ready routine, plus helpful advice on protecting your skin from the sun and other environmental factors. Let’s get started!

The short version

  • A summer-ready routine has five steps: cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, protect and target.
  • Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, and reapply every two hours when you’re outside.
  • ToxicFree® skincare skips harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients, and its natural ingredients are biodegradable and kinder to the planet.
  • Water, lukewarm showers, a balanced diet, seven to eight hours of sleep and time to relax all show up in your skin.

A Summer-Ready Routine in Five Steps

July 4th 2023 is just around the corner, and you want your skin looking its best for the big day. This routine will help get your skin glowing and ready for the festivities.

  1. Cleanse. Start with a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. This helps keep your skin hydrated and balanced. We trust our Foaming Cleanser to wash away dirt and makeup.
  2. Exfoliate. Exfoliating is key to clearing away dead skin cells and revealing brighter, smoother skin. Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mask once or twice a week. We recommend our Açai Polishing Complex Exfoliating Scrub.
  3. Moisturize. Moisturizing is essential for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. Look for a lightweight moisturizer that won’t clog your pores. Our Argan Collagen Moisturizer is perfect for the job.
  4. Protect. Don’t forget to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day.
  5. Target. If you have specific skin concerns, such as acne or dark spots, use a targeted product to help reduce their appearance.

Follow these steps and you’ll have glowing, healthy-looking skin for July 4th 2023!

How to Beat Summer Skin Issues

With the summer heat in full swing, it’s important to take extra care of your skin. These habits help with the most common summer skin issues:

  • Wear sunscreen. Sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 before heading out to celebrate, and reapply every two hours.
  • Cover up. Wear a hat and sunglasses when you’re out in the sun for extra protection from UV rays.
  • Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin hydrated, healthy and glowing. Aim for at least eight glasses a day.
  • Skip long, hot showers. Hot showers can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated. Keep showers short and lukewarm.
  • Moisturize. Moisturizing keeps your skin hydrated and helps keep dryness away. Look for a moisturizer made for your skin type.

Everyday Habits for Healthy, Glowing Skin

Great summer skin isn’t only about what you put on it. These everyday habits make a difference, too:

  • Eat a healthy diet. A balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables and healthy fats helps keep your skin looking its best. Include plenty of antioxidants to help protect your skin from environmental damage.
  • Get enough sleep. Aim for at least seven to eight hours each night to help your skin regenerate and stay healthy.
  • Cleanse twice a day. Cleansing removes the dirt, oil and makeup that can clog your pores and cause breakouts. Use a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin’s natural oils.
  • Exfoliate gently. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and reveals brighter, smoother skin. Choose a gentle exfoliator that won’t irritate your skin.
  • Avoid smoking. Smoking can cause premature aging and wrinkles, so it’s best avoided if you want your skin looking its best.
  • Relax. Stress can have a negative effect on your skin, so take some time for yourself to relax and unwind.
