Our Summer Sitewide Savings event ends tonight at 11:59PM Pacific, and it’s a little bittersweet.
We always look forward to this sitewide event because it feels like our celebration of summer.
We are officially well into the season. Calendars are slowly but surely filling up, and if they aren’t, maybe you are getting to embrace summer at your own speed, which honestly sounds just as good.
But we also love this season for the skin.
You are able to get more sun, which is so good for your body and your mood, but summer can also shake up your routine a little bit depending on how your skin handles the warmer months.
You might find yourself needing to exfoliate more because of sweat, sunscreen, and clogged-looking pores. You might be reaching for more brightening products, more glow-boosting masks, your daily SPF, or richer post-sun moisture to help your skin feel supported after long days outside.
So, before our 25% off sitewide event ends tonight, here are a few of our favorite summer skin care staples to keep on hand:
Brighten–Vitamin C Elixir
This is a potent dose of vitamin C to help brighten and even the look of skin, and the best part is that it doesn’t replace your current serum. If you are like me and have a hard time switching from a product you absolutely love, it feels like a breakup. So you completely bypass that. This elixir gets mixed into your current serum to give it a brightening boost.
Radiant-C Mask & Polish
This is your one step that covers masking and exfoliating in one. This dry powder blend is packed with antioxidant-rich herbs and vitamin C-rich fruits like acerola cherry, kakadu plum, camu camu, goji berry, amla berry, strawberry, seabuckthorn, and lemon peel to help brighten the look of dull, tired skin.
Mix it with water, your favorite toning mist, yogurt, collagen, or whatever your skin is loving that day to use it as a mask. Or add a tiny bit of water or cleanser and use it as a gentle exfoliant to buff the skin while still getting those brightening benefits.
Resurfacing Facial Exfoliant
Between sunscreen, sweat, humidity, travel, and long days outside, buildup can happen fast. Honey-derived lactic acid gently exfoliates to help smooth the look of texture and brighten the look of dark spots, while cucumber and blue tansy give it that cooling, calming feel.
Sun Love Everyday Sheer Sunscreen SPF 20
Of course, we can’t talk about summer skin care without talking about SPF.
Sun Love is one of those daily summer staples that just makes sense. It uses non-nano zinc oxide for mineral sun protection, while buriti fruit oil, pumpkin seed oil, and hemp seed oil help keep the skin feeling soft, nourished, and comfortable. It layers beautifully into your morning routine and gives your skin that smooth, soft finish without feeling like a thick, beach-day sunscreen.
Wild Fruit Serum
This is one of those serums I love having in my summer routine when my skin is looking a little dull, tired, or uneven from long days outside.
It brings together Kakadu plum, apple extract, knotweed, copper, and plant-cell extracts to help support the look of brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin. It is lightweight, glowy, and perfect for giving your skin that fresh, more even-looking radiance during the warmer months.
Restorative Facial & Neck Cream
This is one of those creams I love for summer because it gives you the richness of a moisturizer and the active support of a serum in one step.
It’s extremely lightweight on the skin, but still leaves your face and neck feeling soft, nourished, and supported. And yes, it was designed for the neck too, which is so nice for those warmer months when your chest and neck are getting more sun, sweat, and exposure than usual.
With pineapple ceramides, lingonberry stem cells, collagen pre-peptides, reishi, propolis, botanical oils, and our in-house butter blend, it helps support smooth, hydrated, healthy-looking skin without that thick, greasy summer cream feeling.
I love summer skin care because of the fun additions that just amplify the summer glow you already get through living in the season.
Take this as your sign, calling, and invitation to check in with your summer routine and make sure your skin has what it needs for the rest of the season.
More sun, more fun, and skin that feels supported through it all.

Plus, when your order is $50 or more, you’ll also get a free travel-size Activated Night Serum — our retinol alternative and one of my favorite nighttime steps for summer.
It’s especially lovely if your skin is feeling more clogged, uneven, or spotty from sunscreen, sweat, and extra time outside. It uses our algae-derived Bioactive A-Complex to support the look of smoother texture, clearer-looking pores, and a more even-looking complexion.
Similar to the reasons people reach for retinol, but without the dryness, peeling, or irritation that can sometimes come with it.
Let’s fully embrace all summer and summer skin care has to offer.
Happy Monday,
