As the days grow longer and the mountain hums with cicadas, our skin begins to crave a different kind of care. Summer is a season of warmth, movement, and golden light, but also one of heat, humidity, and sun exposure. It’s a time to lighten our touch, simplify our rituals, and let the skin breathe freely.
At Witchscents Organics, we believe every season carries its own rhythm, and our skin thrives when we move in harmony with it.
Begin with a Breath of Freshness
Summer mornings call for clarity. A gentle, cooling cleanse helps to sweep away the night and prepare the skin for the day ahead. Our Mature Skin Cleanser (coming soon) was crafted with rose hydrosol, aloe, and green tea extract to refresh without stripping, while spearmint and frankincense bring a light herbal lift that feels like a deep breath of forest air.
Use cool or lukewarm water and take a moment to massage the cleanser into the skin, a small daily ritual to awaken circulation and ground the senses before the day begins.
Hydrate Deeply with Forest Dew, Then Seal with Golden Dew
Hydration is the heart of glowing summer skin. After cleansing, apply a few drops of our Forest Dew Serum, a feather-light elixir brimming with botanical actives like kakadu plum, gotu kola, bearberry, and green tea. These extracts deliver vitamins, antioxidants, and natural brighteners that help the skin stay clear, even-toned, and luminous.
Once absorbed, follow with Golden Dew Moisturiser to seal in that hydration. Infused with jojoba, sea buckthorn, CoQ10, and hyaluronic acid, it locks in moisture and creates a dewy, satin finish that feels as luxurious as it is nurturing. Together, they form the perfect summer pairing, weightless, replenishing, and radiant.
Embrace Cooling Botanicals
When the heat builds, botanicals like spearmint, rose geranium, cucumber, and aloe become your skin’s best allies. sometimes we like to keep our serum or moisturiser in the fridge on especially hot days, it’s an instant refresh that feels like a mountain breeze.
Add a few drops of rose geranium essential oil to a cool compress and gently press it onto the face and neck to calm heat and restore balance after sun exposure.
Simplify the Ritual
Summer isn’t the time for heavy layers or complicated routines. Two or three mindful steps ... cleanse, hydrate, protect, can keep the skin balanced and glowing. Focus on consistency and quality rather than quantity.
Think of your skincare as a sensory moment rather than a checklist: the scent of frankincense, the cool glide of aloe, the way your skin feels nourished but never weighed down.
It’s self-care stripped back to what truly matters.... connection, presence, and lightness.
Protect and Nourish from Within
No ritual is complete without internal care. Drink plenty of water, herbal infusions like peppermint or lemon balm, and include antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, green tea, and leafy greens.
Our favorite seasonal pairing? A chilled cup of Witchscents Ginger Glow tea sipped in the garden while the morning warms.....a little daily alchemy that nourishes from the inside out.
A Moment to Reflect
Summer invites us to slow down, soften, and shine, to care for our skin as lovingly as we tend our gardens. Every product, every ritual, every mindful moment is a chance to reconnect with the earth and ourselves.
