In summer, everything changes. Temperatures, the environment, and habits change too, especially if we are lucky enough to go on vacation. The desire for lightness is then felt even in the bathroom! Less makeup, more exposure to the sun, wind, chlorine, or salt water: the skin faces new challenges. That is precisely why it needs different, more targeted, but equally effective attention.

Heat and perspiration can lead to blemishes, and sun protection and impurities accumulate... However, there is no need to overdo it. A well-thought-out minimalist routine allows you to enjoy your vacation and clear your mind. We offer a minimalist skincare routine that is enough to keep your skin healthy, luminous, and balanced all season long.

One might think that summer, with its air of freedom, allows for skipping cleansing. It is quite the opposite. Double cleansing becomes, more than ever, a crucial step to prevent pores from clogging, skin from becoming congested, the complexion from dulling, and blemishes from appearing.

After cleaning, the skin craves water. And in summer, it prefers freshness to richness. Rather than weighing the epidermis down with thick textures that are sometimes hard to bear with perspiration, it is better to opt for fine, refreshing, and thirst-quenching hydration.

In summer, one sometimes has trouble tolerating a cream on the skin, as it feels too heavy and unpleasant with perspiration. To address this, after the mist, you can just apply 2 to 3 drops of an oily serum!

Yes, natural oily serums, like those from La Canopée, contain botanical oils that help seal in the hydration provided by the mist while still allowing the skin to breathe. Many of us prefer using a serum over a cream in mid-summer, but it is crucial not to skip the mist step and not to wait until it has dried before applying the few drops of serum.

The Purifying Essential Synergy serum fulfills this mission with finesse. This treatment, concentrated in essential oils with sanitizing, purifying, and rebalancing properties, works towards clear skin. It has perfect affinity with the skin because the jojoba oil it contains is very close to human sebum.

It is applied by putting 2 to 3 drops in the palm of the hand, which you rub before applying delicately to the face, neck, and décolleté. It helps regulate sebum production, soothe inflammation, and limit the appearance of blemishes. It leaves the complexion clear and the skin clean and comfortable, without a greasy effect.

This summer routine consists of three essential steps: cleanse, hydrate, treat. It is designed to get back to basics while meeting the skin's fundamental needs in summer. But of course, it can be customized.

Drier skin types can incorporate a more hydrating treatment, such as the Illuminating Rose Garden Serum. Very sensitive skin might prefer a more suitable cleanser, such as the Gentle Anti-Tightness Cleansing Mousse. And everyone should supplement this routine with sun protection in case of prolonged sun exposure.
