Longer days and rising temperatures invite lightness, not just in what we wear, but in how we care for our skin. Here’s your skin-first, mind-grounded guide to transitioning into the new season with clarity and calm.
1. Embrace Lighter Layers. On Your Skin, Too
In summer, your skin’s needs shift. With higher humidity and warmer temperatures, the rich textures of winter can feel too heavy. Opt for light, breathable formulations that let your skin feel fresh, not overloaded.
A standout choice for the season: The Glow, our anti-inflammatory face cream designed to calm, hydrate, and restore. Its lightweight texture makes it ideal for warmer months, while its potent botanical blend helps soothe irritation and reduce redness caused by environmental stress.
More than just moisture, The Glow supports your skin’s resilience when it’s most exposed to heat, travel, or daily city stressors. It’s a summer ritual in a jar — and a moment of calm for your complexion.
Our Tip: Store your moisturizer in the fridge. A cool application in the morning can reduce puffiness and bring a refreshing start to the day.
2. Let Botanicals Balance You
Summer can bring excess oil, clogged pores, or reactive skin. Plant-based actives like witch hazel, chamomile, or white willow bark gently calm the skin without stripping its natural barrier.
Our formula philosophy at This Place combines phytotherapy with precision — using nature’s intelligence to restore equilibrium. Think less force, more flow.
Look for ingredients that support your skin’s own microbiome, not suppress it. A balanced skin barrier is your most intuitive form of protection.
3. Make Space for Evening Detox
Your evening ritual matters more in summer. Increased sweat and exposure to pollution can challenge the skin’s natural renewal rhythm. Use this time to cleanse deeply, not harshly.
A two-step ritual (gentle oil-based cleanser followed by a mild clarifying elixir) supports the skin’s overnight repair mode. Follow with a light replenishing face oil or calming cream that allows the skin to regenerate while it restores.
If you’ve spent the day outdoors or in a busy city, your skin will thank you for the extra attention and the consistent care.
4. Refresh with Facial Massage
Stagnation is the enemy of glow. Just a few minutes of mindful facial massage each morning can stimulate circulation, reduce puffiness, and shift your state from reactive to receptive.
Try storing your tools in the fridge and pairing them with a balancing facial oil like The Morning Glow. Lymphatic movement supports detoxification, not just for your skin, but for your entire system.
This small act can become an anchor in your day: a tactile way to return to yourself.
5. Weekly Mini Rituals
Instead of sudden interventions, think of your summer skin journey as a weekly rhythm. Once or twice a week, exfoliate gently with enzymes or fruit acids. Follow with a soothing mask packed with humectants and antioxidants.
Avoid intense resurfacing or harsh scrubs, they can leave skin vulnerable in the sun. Choose slow beauty. Choose signals over stress.
6. Breathe. Skin Does Too.
Your skin is not just a barrier, it’s a messenger. It tells stories of stress, joy, imbalance, or flow. In summer, it asks for air, water, rest and your presence.
Whether through breathwork, grounding walks, or just pausing between steps, remember that every skincare ritual is also a way to return to yourself.
At This Place, we believe your skin is the surface where inner and outer worlds meet. Every jar we create is an invitation to listen, to feel, to glow.
