3 STEPS TO GLOWING SUMMER SKIN

When it comes to glowing, blemish free skin, estheticians and dermatologists agree that your face and body skincare routine should include three essential steps: exfoliating, hydrating and protecting. 

But, what appears to be a simple and easy path to beautiful, youthful skin can quickly become overly complicated when it comes time to find and choose skincare products that are not only high-quality and effective but also all natural and cruelty free. 

To make it easier for you to follow this 1-2-3 step method, we’re organizing our favorite W!NK spa products into each of the three categories and explaining - in detail - how each product is formulated and why you can expect to see major results. 

This way to gorgeous summer skin...  

Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and keeps your skin tone nice and even.

STEP 1 

EXFOLIATE

Winter can be extremely depleting to the skin, leaving it dry and sensitized, so gentle, yet effective exfoliation is essential for removing that dead layer, which allows for your moisturizer to penetrate more effectively,” says Courtney P. Chiusano, a holistic facialist and owner of Courtney Chiusano Skincare in Los Angeles to Well + Good. 

When transitioning out of winter into spring and summer, exfoliate your skin once a week. But, once the warmer months arrive, how often you exfoliate your skin will depend on your level of activity and how often you’re outdoors. Dr. Kally Papantoniou, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York, suggests: "if you are going to be in the sun for prolonged periods, like going to the beach or playing an outdoor sport, I would suggest holding off from any exfoliation," she says in Bustle. Dr. Papantoniou adds: "regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and keeps your skin tone nice and even, allowing your creams to hydrate your skin better." 

We recommend that in the summertime, you exfoliate your skin only after it’s had a chance to recover from sun exposure. If you’ve recently had a little too much fun in the sun, we suggest hydrating your skin first and getting it to calm first before exfoliating (see step two).

Gentle enough for daily use, small sugar crystals paired with natural humectants buff and revive skin. Consider this a mini version of W!NK Purify CBD Sugar Scrub, but suitable for your ultra-delicate lips.

STEP 2

HYDRATE

As we continue to age, our skin loses its ability to retain moisture. Daily activities like cleansing can further strip the surface of your skin of its natural hydrators. To further compound this, sun exposed (or even worse, burnt) skin loses moisture and essential oils. 

When choosing a hydrating skincare product for the summer, look for lightweight formulas that target inflammation, are ultra-hydrating, contain a high-grade of antioxidants and fight pigmentation - all common summer skin concerns.  

FACE SERUM

HYDRATE // PRODUCT

RENEW FACIAL SERUM

“Serums are more concentrated than creams, so you tend to only need a small amount daily to see results,” says Fran Cook-Bolden to Women’s Health, Director of New York's Skin Specialty Dermatology. 

Add W!NK Renew CBD Facial Serum to your day and night routine to rapidly enhance skin tone and elasticity. A replenishing elixir of pure botanicals such as aloe leaf juice, hyaluronic acid, green tea extra, algae extract and grapefruit extract provide vital nutrients to promote skin recovery and hydration. Multi-cannabinoid hemp (CBD) extract dives deep to clear skin irritations, fight blemishes and reduce inflammation.

Multi-cannabinoid hemp (CBD) extract works to clear skin irritations, reduce blemishes and target inflammation.

EYE CREAM

HYDRATE // PRODUCT

LIFT + FIRM EYE CREAM

As the skin around your eyes is much thinner than the rest of your face, it’s prone to show signs of aging and hyperpigmentation much sooner. This nourishing eye cream uses almond oil to hydrate and a proprietary blend of clover, st. john’s wort, arnica, witch hazel, horse chestnut and ivy to minimize the appearance of dark circles. Multi-cannabinoid hemp (CBD) oil reduces puffiness for glowing, healthy looking skin.

LIP BALM + SCRUB

HYDRATE // PRODUCT

REPAIR LIP SCRUB

Perfect for use after exfoliating with W!NK Repair CBD Lip Scrub or on its own, this balm’s natural oils, including shea butter, mango butter, oat, cocoa butter, apricot kernel, and macadamia nourish and moisturize. Orange oil brightens and tones lips, while lavender oil provides a soothing, natural antibacterial. Multi-cannabinoid hemp (CBD) extract calms and soothes inflamed summer lips while adding another layer of bacterial protection.

STEP 3

PROTECT

Dermatologists agree that sunscreen is, without a doubt, critical to your skincare routine - not only in the summer, but all year round.

“Daily and consistent sunscreen use helps to prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles, textural imperfections, and changes in the appearance of pores over time. More importantly, daily sunscreen use can help to prevent the formation of certain skin cancers.” explains Dr. Carlos Charles to the New York Times, a dermatologist in New York City.
