During the summer, our skin can undergo 3 types of changes:
1. Dehydration and dryness : on all skin types but especially for dry skin, the sun's UV rays cause dryness and dehydration that is even more marked than the rest of the year. Heat and sun tend to accelerate the evaporation of our skin's natural moisture. Salt and chlorine tend to weaken the skin's hydrolipidic film (its natural barrier), making it more permeable to external aggressions.

2. Premature aging : The sun also facilitates the production of free radicals, which are responsible for cell aging and oxidative stress. It also impacts the natural collagen cycle in our skin by stimulating the enzymes responsible for collagen degradation and inhibiting the synthesis of pro-collagen.

3. The (false) disappearance of acne and the rebound effect : UV rays penetrate deep into your epidermis, causing the skin to thicken. This protective effect against the sun's rays leads to clogged pores.

In a very similar way, the sun and summer impact our hair fiber.
1. Hair weakening : UV rays have the capacity to penetrate the capillary fiber by several micrometers, reducing its mechanical resistance. Your hair is therefore more easily brittle, less resistant to friction (pillows, etc.) and movement (elastic bands, scrunchies, etc.)

2. A more sensitive scalp : the sun, but even more so salt and chlorine will disrupt the production of sebum in our scalp and can cause dandruff and an irritated scalp (itching).

3. Dry hair : By attacking the hair cuticle, the hair's natural protective oil can be more easily lost. Result: dry and damaged hair (split ends).

1. Take the time to understand your skin : How does your skin feel? Does it feel tight? Does it lack water. Does it peel? Does it lack oil. Have small spots, imperfections, or fine lines appeared? These are all clues about what your skin needs.

2. Don't neglect cleansing your skin : we recommend it year-round, but it's even more essential at the end of summer. Double cleansing ! It's important to rid your skin of dead skin cells and excess product buildup (like sunscreen) accumulated during the summer. To do this, gently remove your makeup every evening with our Day Over cleansing oil , then deeply cleanse with our Green Fizz gentle cleansing gel . Bonus: its micro-peeling effect is fantastic for removing dead skin. Feel free to leave it on for 5 minutes.

3. We adapt our routine and our products : for all skin types, we rely on a hydration boost! And the flagship active ingredient for this is hyaluronic acid, capable of retaining 1000 times its weight in water. Our ideal product: the Narcotic Cream enriched with hyaluronic acid of three molecular weights allows hydration of the deep layers of the skin. To boost its action, apply a few sprays of our lotion Gender Fluid, also enriched with hyaluronic acid, without making it penetrate.
For skin with imperfections, we rely on antibacterial treatments to relieve inflammation and regulate sebum, without stripping it! Our two flagship treatments: our Green Cure mask 1 to 2 times a week and our roll-on Goodbye Button to target pimples.

1. Exfoliate your scalp: and yes ! Our scalp also needs to remove dead skin. We opt for a weekly exfoliation for 3 weeks, while it renews itself. If your scalp is very dry, you can leave our Amazing Oil (naturally anti-inflammatory) before shampoo.

2. Trim the ends : a little trim can give your hair a new lease on life. Split ends can't be repaired, so let your hair follicles focus on the parts that can still be healed.

3. Deep conditioning : It's essential to repair and protect the hair fiber. For this, we recommend oil treatments once a week before shampooing (a minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour, ideally overnight) and a daily treatment for the ends. We highly recommend our Amazing Oil for both of these uses. To learn about all the benefits of hemp oil for hair, click here.
