The unpredictable nature of problematic skin concerns such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne or hyper-sensitivity can make their everyday care – and your daily comfort – a challenge. Seasonal extremes, however, have a tendency to make this even harder.
High heat, UV, external allergens, humidity and sweat are all known to exacerbate irritation, redness, dryness, oil and breakouts. Whether you’ve arrived at this blog looking for relief from a sudden summer flare-up, or are seeking to proactively prevent them this year, we can help.
Eczema
“Though cold weather is a more common eczema trigger, heat, sweat, chlorine, grass & pollen can intensify itching & dryness too. The most important thing to do is never let skin dry out. If you do, inflammation will persist & worsen. Keep skin soothed & nourished throughout the day as much as possible.” – Dr. Mazin
Our pick: Soothing Rescue Cream
Steroid-free and 96% natural, our face and body cream harnesses Ma Chi Xian, Centella Asiatica and Oat Extract – three intensely soothing, moisturising and strengthening actives. Together, they help reduce redness, calm irritation, deeply nourish and support healthy barrier function.
Soothing Rescue Cream is also colourless – ideal for reapplying several times a day to keep skin conditioned and comfortable.
Sensitivity
“Hot weather increases water loss, which can leave skin feeling dehydrated, red or irritated. Look for formulas that replenish & strengthen your compromised skin barrier, plus always ensure they’re free from soap, steroids, parabens or synthetic fragrance & colour.” – Dr. Mazin
Our pick: Ultra-Rich Vitamin E Cream
Our intense face and body moisturiser is free from steroids, fragrance, parabens and colour. 98% natural, it blends 7% antioxidant Vitamin E, Provitamin B5, Allantoin and Organic Honey to deeply soothe, soften, nourish and strengthen skin.
Again, it’s colourless, so you can be confident applying it as often as you need to during the day.
Psoriasis
“Psoriasis is chronic and cyclical. Though sunshine & humidity can soothe symptoms, chlorine & air-conditioning may trigger flare-ups. My advice? Even if symptoms ease, keep applying your targeted topical as this will maintain calm skin & prevent further flare-ups.” – Dr. Mazin
Our pick: Softening Ointment
100% natural and colourless once absorbed, our concentrated ointment blends E Zhu You, Jojoba Oil and Organic Beeswax to intensely soothe itchy skin, lock in hydration to minimise transepidermal water loss, and enhance softness. Apply it to dry skin twice daily to maintain comfort.
Rosacea
“Sun is one of the most common rosacea triggers. Hot weather & humidity can worsen symptoms too. It’s imperative to use formulas that contain herbal actives that cool, calm & soften while also boosting the skin barrier to prevent flare-ups.” – Dr. Mazin
Our pick: Redness Reducing Cream
Formulated with Vitamin C, Zinc Oxide, Organic Rosehip Oil and Horse Chestnut, smoothing on this face cream twice daily helps reduce redness, powerfully calm and soften skin plus protect from environmental stressors by supporting the skin barrier.
Cracked feet or hands
“Dehydration from hot weather or increased sweating, footwear choices, walking or gardening can all lead to deep, sore cracks in feet or hands. You’ll find swift relief in formulas that help promote cell turnover to clear rough skin while also deeply moisturising & soothing.” – Dr. Mazin
Our pick: Nourishing Hand & Foot Cream
Our 98% natural cream includes Alpha Hydroxy Acids blended from blueberry, orange, lemon, sugarcane and sugar maple to exfoliate dry, dead skin and improve rough texture. It also harnesses moisture marvel Urea plus Organic Shea and Cocoa Butters to deeply soothe and soften very dry skin.
For best results:
- Smooth over clean skin before bed, then wear cotton socks or gloves.
- Top up 2-3 times in the day and you’ll very soon see and feel a dramatic improvement.
Start right with your sensitive skin routine
Soothing and supporting problematic skin types starts before targeted topicals. Choosing soap-free face and body washes is crucial to protecting the comfort and integrity of any compromised skin barrier. For added reassurance, both Honeysuckle Cleanser and Soothing Bath & Shower Oil are soap-free and suitable for skin prone to eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, hypersensitivity and acne.
All-round hydrating summer skin hero
Nourishing Cream is also suitable for use by every skin concern. Using it with any of the targeted topicals mentioned above – layering it on skin once they’ve absorbed – delivers extra, intensive soothing and moisturising benefits.
Formulated for long-lasting confidence
Topical steroids and other skin concern treatments can’t be used forever; ours can. Used consistently, our herbal formulas go beyond symptom relief to strengthen the barrier, maintain skin balance and condition long-term – helping prevent recurring sensitivity.
A final reminder: Patch test first
Prior to trying any new skin concern topical, we always recommend you carry out a patch test. Apply a small amount close to the area of intended use.
