7 Summer Skincare Mistakes to Avoid
FOR A RADIANT & HOLISTIC GLOW
As the sun returns and nature blossoms, our skin undergoes a seasonal shift. One that needs intentional care. At Wylder Wellbeing we believe summer skincare should be a serene, sensory journey that everyone should enjoy.
Here are 7 common skincare mistakes to avoid this summer, along with nurturing alternatives that honor your skin and spirit.
1. NEGLECTING DAILY
CLEANSING RITUALS
In these sun-kissed months, sweat, sebum, and environmental impurities can accumulate quickly, clouding your skin’s natural radiance. Begin and end each day with a mindful cleanse, even if you’re indoors all day. Our GAIA Naturally Facial Wash offers a botanical-infused experience that purifies and brightens with the perfect foam texture. For this product's time-saving ritual we recommend using it in the shower.
2. SKIPPING SPF PROTECTION
SPF isn’t a seasonal suggestion, it’s a daily devotion to your skin’s longevity. Embrace the ritual of morning sun protection with a SPF 50, and layer it lovingly across your face, neck, and décolleté.
3. FORGETTING TO HYDRATE INSIDE AND OUT
Whilst in the sun, our bodies naturally lose moisture, which can leave our skin looking tired and dry. Hydration begins within, so sip herbal-infused water. Topically, enhance hydration by gently massaging a hyaluronic serum into the skin using a crystal Gua Sha tool, its cooling touch stimulates lymphatic drainage and helps lock in moisture.
4. UNDER-MOISTURISING
It’s a myth that summer skin doesn’t need as much moisture. In fact, the sun and air conditioning can sap your skin of its natural oils. Choose a lightweight moisturiser that offers hydration without heaviness and don’t forget your SPF needs UVA & UVB protection.
5. FOCUSING ONLY
ON THE FACE
Your neck, chest, shoulders, and hands are equally exposed to the elements and deserve the same thoughtful care. Cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize these often-forgotten areas. Our GAIA Awakening Body Scrub, infused with mineral-rich sea salts and essential oils, offers a grounding ritual to awaken your skin’s glow. Follow with either a full body SPF in the day or a hydrating body balm for total nourishment at night.
6. WEARING HEAVY MAKE UP
Let your skin breathe and bloom in the summer. Thick foundations and layers can block pores and dull your natural skin. A weekly Gua Sha facial massage with a serum will improve circulation and sculpt your natural contours, helping you feel confident with a fresh, makeup-free finish.
7. SKIPPING PROFESSIONAL FACIALS
The summer season is an ideal time to invest in regular, tailored facial experiences. As professionals we can help detoxify, rehydrate, and restore your skin, using a mixture of methods to suit your skin. We can recommend exactly what to use on your skin.
