With days growing longer and temperatures heating up, it’s time for a summer skin care overhaul. And changing up your skin care routine for the season calls for more than just slapping an extra layer of sunscreen on your face. A summer skin care revamp means rethinking your routine to protect yourself from different types of skin damage and seasonal dryness.

In order to help you, we’ve designed two daytime skin care routines - one essential and the other enhanced - from Eminence Organics products specially selected for the season. Read on to learn more about the Eminence Organics Skin Care Routines for Summer:

The Essential Skin Care Routine For Summer:

1. CLEANSE 

Eminence Organics Bright Skin Cleanser - Target dark spots from the summer sun with Eminence Organics Bright Skin Cleanser. Our two actives, Swiss Alpine Plant Extracts and Natural Hydroquinone Alternative work to brighten the appearance of your skin while you cleanse.

To help prevent summer skin problems, use our Eminence Organics Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser as an alternative cleanser.  

2. TONE 

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Hydrating Mist. Unlike drugstore toners, Eminence Organics Stone Crop Hydrating Mist doesn’t contain alcohol that dries the skin. Instead, this hydrating and softening spray restores moisture for a smooth and toned finish. A celebrity favorite, the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist has won over fans like Alanis Morissette who declares, “I never leave home without my hydrating mist.”

3. MOISTURIZE

Eminence Organics Bright Skin Moisturizer SPF 40 — One of our best-selling products, Eminence Organics Bright Skin Moisturizer not only hydrates the skin but also brightens with Swiss Alpine Plant Extracts and Natural Hydroquinone Alternative. When you consider that the Bright Skin Moisturizer also contains a protective SPF that defends the skin from UVA / UVB rays, you’ll agree that you have the perfect summer moisturizer.
