Build Your Hydration Routine
Summer skin can be deceptive.
You may wear less make-up. You may want lighter textures.
You may even feel tempted to skip steps because your skin does not feel as
though it needs as much as it does in winter.
But your summer skin still needs support.
Heat, sun exposure, air conditioning, travel and changing routines can all leave your skin feeling parched, tight, dull or less comfortable than usual.
And if your skin looks shiny on the surface, it’s a sign of skin dehydration and may be lacking water underneath.
That is why your summer skin needs more than moisturiser.
It needs hydration and barrier support.
Why hydration matters
Dehydrated skin is skin that is lacking water.
This is different from dry skin, which is lacking oil.
This is different from oily skin, which produces too much
oil.
Your skin can be oily and dehydrated at the same time. It can be dry and dehydrated at the same time.
Understanding the difference matters when it comes to choosing the right products for your routine.
When your skin is dehydrated, fine lines, open pores and a dull finish can look more obvious, make-up may not sit as smoothly and your skin can feel more reactive to changes in weather, temperature or environment.
In summer, this becomes even more important. Your skin is exposed to more daily stress, so your routine needs to help replenish hydration and support your skin barrier.
Step 1:
Replenish with Rehydrating Concentrate
Rehydrating Concentrate is your Skin Boost hydration step.
It delivers an immediate surge of moisture in a light, fluid texture that absorbs easily without heaviness or pilling.
Its multi-layer moisturising complex helps boost and maintain hydration throughout the day and night, while soothing ingredients help support your skin barrier and help calm environmentally stressed skin.
Use it when your skin feels tight, parched, dull or uncomfortable. Use it when your make-up is not sitting well. Use it when your
skin needs hydration without a heavy finish.
Apply morning and evening to clean skin, then follow with your Skin Defence Cream.
Step2:
Follow with your Skin Defence Cream
Your concentrate delivers targeted hydration.
Your Skin Defence Cream helps complete the routine by supporting comfort, moisture retention and daily skin resilience.
This step matters because hydration works best when your skin is also well supported.
Think of it as building your routine in the right order.
First, replenish hydration.
Then, help support your skin barrier and keep that comfort
in place.
This is the difference between simply applying moisturiser
and building a hydration routine.
Not sure which Skin Defence Cream to choose?
Your skin does not need a one-size-fits-all moisturiser. It needs the right Skin Defence Cream for how your skin feels, behaves and changes through the seasons.
If your skin feels sensitive or easily stressed, it may need more comfort and barrier support.
If your skin feels dry as well as dehydrated, it may need a richer texture to support softness and comfort.
If your skin feels balanced but affected by summer heat, travel or air conditioning, it may need lighter hydration and daily defence.
Because you do not need a cupboard full of products.
You need the right products, used in the right order and used consistently.
