Your Summer Skincare Survival Kit: What to Use When It’s Sweltering
Have you been struggling to keep your skin looking fresh this summer? With all of that extra heat and humidity, not to mention the increased exposure to UV rays, the warmer months can really take a toll on the complexion.
The good news? With the right products, you can quickly turn things around. Here’s Vine Vera’s summer skincare survival kit – products that you’ll be able to rely on even when temperatures are sweltering.
The Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30
Let’s start by talking about sun protection – one of the most important aspects of summer skincare. If you want your skin to get through the summer months without coming out of the season with too much damage, SPF needs to be taken very seriously.
However, many people struggle with how thick and heavy many sunscreen formulas can feel. No one likes seeing a ghostly white cast left behind on their skin after applying SPF! Plus, those with oily skin commonly complain about congestion and clogged pores after using sunscreen, especially since all SPF products need to be reapplied every couple of hours.
The solution? Add the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30 to your summer skincare kit. It’s a lightweight cream that does the job of both a moisturizer and a sunscreen, enabling you to conveniently combine two steps of your skincare routine into one. It feels weightless on the skin, melts in to leave a sheer finish, and is packed with antioxidants that will help your skin to fight against the appearance of environmental damage.
The Resveratrol Chianti Revival Serum
There are certain visible skin concerns that become particularly prevalent in the summer months. Dehydration, discoloration, dullness, and wrinkles are just a few of the issues that rear up at this time of year. It’s not easy to find a single skincare product that’s capable of tackling all of those problems in one go, which is why we created the Resveratrol Chianti Revival Serum.
Take a look at this serum’s ingredient list and you’ll notice several hard hitters. Vitamin C, in the potent form of ascorbic acid, is on the list, with this antioxidant highly recommended by dermatologists for every summer skincare routine. It’s a great ingredient for lightening the look of dark spots, especially when combined with the kojic acid, licorice root extract, and peptides that are also in this serum.
This formula is also extremely effective at hydrating the skin on a roasting hot day. Seaweed extract, sodium hyaluronate, and collagen all provide a burst of moisture. Meanwhile, resveratrol rounds things off with its game-changing antioxidant properties.
The Resveratrol Pinot Noir Longevity Serum
Looking for a simpler summer serum that focuses solely on providing hydration and a luminous glow? Check out the Vine Vera Resveratrol Pinot Noir Longevity Serum, another lightweight formula, but one that consists of numerous hydrating compounds.
There are a few ingredients that contribute to this serum’s hydrating effects. Sodium hyaluronate is one, with this humectant famous for how it binds moisture to the skin. Glycerin acts in the same way, while lactic acid boasts humectant properties as well. The latter is also known for having a mild exfoliating effect on the skin. Although it’s not used in a large enough concentration in this serum to properly exfoliate the skin, it will ensure that you won’t end up dealing with clogged pores while keeping your skin looking bright and fresh.
Just like with all Vine Vera products, resveratrol makes an appearance in this formula too. It’s an incredibly powerful antioxidant that has been shown to prevent and reduce the visibility of UV damage on the skin. It’s even more effective when it’s combined with vitamin C, which is exactly what we’ve done with this serum.
The Resveratrol Cabernet Toner
Keeping your skin hydrated is so important in the summer. With UV rays regularly causing damage to the skin’s natural protective barrier, moisture retention often declines, especially during the hottest parts of the season.
One way to hydrate your skin while cooling it down is by adding the Resveratrol Cabernet Toner from Vine Vera to your summer skincare routine. Aloe vera is one of the stars of this formula, but in the form of aloe vera leaf juice rather than leaf extract. This really harnesses the ingredient’s hydrating capabilities, while saturating your skin with all of the complexion-soothing enzymes that aloe is famous for.
Cucumber fruit extract and chamomile flower extract can be found in this toner as well. Again, both work to calm the feeling of inflammation and irritation. It’s a great formula for leaving the skin barrier feeling soothed yet strong, and capable of protecting the skin from all of the environmental aggressors that are thrown its way during the summer months.
The String Lift Sculpting System
Since you don’t want to overload your skin with too many products in the warmer months, keeping your daily summer skincare minimal but adding in a few extra products on a weekly basis can help to give your skin the boost that it needs without overwhelming it. When it comes to weekly skincare, most people turn to masks. However, the String Lift Sculpting System is very much worthy of your attention too…
This skincare system consists of two products. You start by spritzing your skin with the Golden Sculpting System. It has a very watery texture but actually contains six different forms of hyaluronic acid, along with various peptides. It’s exquisitely hydrating, to the point where your skin will immediately look plumper and fuller once you’ve applied it.
You then follow on with the Elastic Collagen Threads. There are more hydrating ingredients in these threads too, along with compounds that firm and tighten the complexion. Finish off with another spritz of the serum, and then massage your face until the threads dissolve into your skin. The resulting glow will undoubtedly impress you!
The Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto Silk
People often struggle with finding the right moisturizer for their summer skincare routines. While your skin still needs the hydration and seal provided by a moisturizer, a formula that’s even slightly too thick for your skin will lead to clogged pores and a whole host of other issues.
If you can relate, check out Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto Silk. It has a very silky texture that doesn’t feel sticky or greasy whatsoever. Instead, it softly hydrates the skin, locks in moisture, and provides a long list of antioxidant-rich botanical extracts.
There are several noteworthy ingredients in this cream, one being caffeine. It helps to keep the skin feeling safe when faced with UV rays. Green tea extract is another ingredient that’s often recommended for use in the summer. Studies show that it contains certain polyphenols that prevent the appearance of UV-induced skin damage. It’s great at countering the appearance of skin aging while also reducing the feeling of inflammation.
The Resveratrol Cabernet High-Potency Eye Serum
If you’ve noticed crow’s feet developing around your eyes, you’ll likely find that these worsen in the summer months. After all, not only does the extra UV exposure accelerate the onset of wrinkles, but subconsciously squinting when in bright sunlight will also cause those creases to deepen.
This is why a good eye serum should be an essential part of your summer skincare stash. Our recommendation? The Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet High-Potency Eye Serum. It’s designed specifically to smooth and firm the look of the skin around the eyes, while also providing a boatload of hydrating ingredients.
What’s in it? Vitamin C sits near the top of the ingredient list. This antioxidant pretty much does it all, and works well when used around the eyes. It’s joined by resveratrol, creating a formidable duo in terms of softening the visibility of fine lines. Peptides are a big part of this eye serum as well. They give the skin a stronger and thicker finish, which is exactly what the thin skin around the eyes needs. Meanwhile, licorice root extract lightens the look of discoloration, aloe vera soothes the complexion, and sodium hyaluronate intensely hydrates.
The Pure Soothing Eye Jelly Masks Limited Edition
If puffy eyes always seem to plague you every summer, you’ll love our Pure Soothing Eye Jelly Masks Limited Edition. Whether your puffiness is caused by the heat, the humidity, higher pollution levels, a lack of sleep, or anything else, these eye masks will immediately leave your eye area looking smoother, firmer, and unbelievably brighter.
These masks are infused with a specialized blend of ingredients. There are a few summer skincare classics in this formula, such as sodium hyaluronate and aloe vera. However, there are plenty of lesser-known powerhouses in these masks too, from ivy extract to horsetail extract to geranium extract. Each contains unique antioxidants while also working in their own way to tighten and revive the look of the skin.
If you’ve never used jelly eye patches before, you’re in for a treat! There are 60 masks in total (30 pairs) in each jar, so you’ll need to use the provided spatula to peel two of those masks away. Then, lay them over your under-eye area. You’ll immediately notice a cooling sensation, which continues for the 10-15 minutes you’ll need to keep the masks on. Once this time is up, remove the masks. You’ll be left with a light layer of serum on your skin. This contains all of the beneficial ingredients we just discussed, so gently massage the serum into your skin instead of wiping it off!
