Summer constantly exposes skin to sun, sweat, salt, and chlorine. Keeping it hydrated, exfoliated, and protected is not just an aesthetic matter; it also helps skin recover better from daily wear and tear and prevents photoaging.
This guide proposes a simple summer skincare routine with three key steps: exfoliation, deep hydration, and sun protection before and after sun exposure.
How to care for your skin in summer
Why skin needs more care in summer
Heat increases sweating and sebum production, which promotes the accumulation of dead cells on the skin's surface. Seawater salt and pool chlorine, meanwhile, remove the natural oils that protect the skin, leaving it drier and more sensitive.
The result is skin that needs to be exfoliated more frequently than in other seasons, but also more deeply hydrated to maintain moisture and compensate for moisture loss.
Step 1: Exfoliation with sea salt
Exfoliating the skin before sun exposure removes dead cells and prepares the skin for a more even tan. Sea salt exfoliants are formulated with natural salt and minerals that gently renew the skin without harming it.
We have three variants depending on your preferred scent: rose, lavender, and fig, all for €15.48. Ideally, use it once or twice a week, depending on how much sun and saltwater you get.
Step 2: Deep hydration with shea butter cream
After exfoliation, the skin needs to replenish its hydration. Our Organic Shea Butter Cream is made with pure shea butter, a plant-based ingredient known for its regenerating and protective properties, ideal even for sensitive skin.
It combats dryness, improves elasticity, and leaves skin soft and smooth, exactly what it needs after a day at the beach or pool. Also available in rose, orange, and fig scents, all for €13.14, so you can choose the fragrance you like best without sacrificing skin hydration.
Step 3: Sun protection before and aftersun afterwards
To protect the skin during sun exposure, Monoï de Tahiti Oil includes a sun filter (available in factors 25, 20, 15, 10, 6, and 4) and its oil format allows for quick dispersion on the skin, with a tropical coconut and Tiare flower scent.
After exposure, Monoï de Tahiti Aftersun Oil provides an immediate cooling sensation and helps set your tan, making it the perfect complement after a long day at the beach.
The final touch: a relaxing salt bath
If your summer routine includes a bath at home after the beach, Bath Salts are a good way to end the day. The freshest variants for this time of year are Lime-Lemon, Tangerine, Lemongrass, and Fig Leaves, all for €7.95.
A bath with salts helps relax muscles, improve circulation, and end the day with a complete sense of well-being.

Frequently asked questions about summer skin care
Is it good to exfoliate before sunbathing?
Yes. Exfoliating the skin removes dead cells and prepares the skin for a more even tan. It is recommended to do it once or twice a week during the summer.
What is the difference between sunscreen and aftersun?
Sunscreen is applied before exposure to protect the skin from UV rays. Aftersun is applied afterwards, to soothe, hydrate, and set the tan achieved during the day.
Is shea butter cream suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Shea butter is a very well-tolerated plant-based ingredient, ideal for all skin types, including those most sensitive or dried out by the sun.
