Summer Body Routine

Summer is calling our name, and so are beach days, pool parties, and vacations! 

 

Evidently, this means it’s also time to establish a summer body care routine that ensures we’re always putting our best skin forward––quite literally from head to toe. 

 

Longer hours of daylight, heat, daily sun exposure, and dry or humid weather affects our skin differently than the colder and darker days of winter. Keeping this in mind, we put together a list of our summer skincare favourites in order to help you establish a routine that will leave your body feeling smooth, confident, hydrated, and protected at all times!

The combination of fibers and weaving offers you a professional experience with the utmost respect for your skin.
