Model for Herban Afrivedic™

1. Stay Hydrated Inside Out

   - Why It Matters: Hydration is the cornerstone of healthy skin, especially in summer. Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin hydrated from the inside, reflecting a natural glow on the outside.

   - Tip: Carry a reusable water bottle and infuse your water with refreshing fruits like cucumber or berries for an antioxidant boost.

2. Upgrade Your Moisturizer

   - Why It Matters: Summer calls for a change in your moisturizing routine. A lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer helps maintain skin hydration without feeling heavy. Get into the butters with Herban Afrivedic™ Cleansing Balm. It’s a hydrating cleansing cream made from 3 natural butters and is enhanced with roasted raspberry seeds for exfoliation. >>>Learn More<<<

   - Tip: Look for oils and moisturizers with Vitamin C, naturally occurring hyaluronic acid or Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) for extra hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss. The Herban Afrivedic™ Facial Serum covers all 3!!!

3. Sun Protection Is a Must

   - Why It Matters: The sun's UV rays can be harmful to your skin, causing sunburn, premature aging, and increasing the risk of skin cancer.

   - Tip: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Reapply every two hours, especially if you're spending extended time outdoors.

4. Embrace Natural After-Sun Care

   - Why It Matters: After a day in the sun, your skin needs to recuperate. Natural after-sun care can help soothe and repair the skin.

   - Tip: Aloe vera and coconut oil are excellent natural remedies for soothing sun-exposed skin.

5. Exfoliate, But Don't Overdo It

   - Why It Matters: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, preventing congestion and improving skin texture. However, over-exfoliation can strip away essential oils.

   - Tip: Opt for a gentle exfoliator and limit exfoliation to once or twice a week. Herban Afrivedic™Cleansing Balm is a great addition to your routine. Using this balm as a cleanser 1-2 times per week, instead of traditional face wash, will allow for gentle exfoliation + moisture sealant.

6. Incorporate Antioxidant-Rich Foods

   - Why It Matters: Antioxidants protect your skin from environmental damage and help combat the effects of UV rays.

   - Tip: Include plenty of fruits and vegetables like berries, citrus fruits, and leafy greens in your diet.

7. Protect Your Lips

   - Why It Matters: Your lips are vulnerable to sun damage too.

   - Tip: Use a lip balm with SPF protection to keep them hydrated and protected.

8. Don't Forget Your Eyes

   - Why It Matters: The skin around your eyes is delicate and needs special care in the summer.

   - Tip: Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays and prevent squinting, which can lead to wrinkles.

9. Stay Cool

   - Why It Matters: Overheating can lead to excessive sweating, which can irritate and dehydrate your skin.

   - Tip: Use facial mists or cooling masks to keep your skin cool and refreshed. >>>Check out the Honey Rose Toner<<<

10. Nighttime Skincare

   - Why It Matters: Nighttime is when your skin repairs itself. A good night skincare routine is essential in summer.

   - Tip: Use a hydrating night cream or serum to support the skin’s natural repair process. We recommend Blue Beautifly’s Organic Chamomile Night Oil Serum.
