Summer invites us to slow down, seek out the shade and enjoy the simple things. But between warm mornings, humid afternoons and busy days, it’s easy to feel ready for a refresh.
A few thoughtful additions to your daily routine can turn an ordinary shower or evening cleanse into a little moment of self-care. Here are our favourite ways to bring a fresh feeling to your summer days.
A cooling peppermint shower
After a hot, sticky summer day, there’s nothing quite like the cooling sensation of peppermint on your skin. Our Australian Pink Clay Salt Spa Bar with Peppermint turns your everyday shower into a refreshing, invigorating ritual.
Peppermint essential oil brings that fresh, cooling feel, while organic coconut milk creates a luxurious, foamy lather. With Australian pink clay and sea salt, it’s a lovely way to wash away the day and step out feeling refreshed.
A little refresh for your senses
For those moments when you want to pause and reset, our Refresh Body Mist brings together essential oils of lime, sweet orange, geranium, bergamot and ylang ylang.
It’s a bright, fragrant addition to a quiet moment indoors or your after-shower routine. Shake well before use, then mist over the body as directed, avoiding the eye area. Follow the product’s direction to keep out of the sun, and don’t make it your pre-beach spritz.
For a softer scent at the end of the day, try Be Calm Mist. With lavender, mandarin and ylang ylang essential oils, it’s a lovely companion to a slower summer evening. Spritz into the air and take a moment to enjoy the aroma.
Keep your facial routine simple
Summer skincare doesn’t need to be complicated. A gentle cleanse followed by a considered routine can be a welcome way to start and finish the day.
Our Organic Rose Hydrating Toner combines organic rose hydrosol, organic aloe vera, organic witch hazel and glycerin.
To use, shake well, cleanse your face and pat dry. Apply a little toner to a damp reusable pad or cotton pad, then gently sweep over your face and neck. Follow with your usual serum and facial oil.
Think of it as a small, unhurried ritual, a few moments to care for your skin before the day begins or as the evening settles in.
Make room for a slower summer
Sometimes the simplest habits make the biggest difference to how a day feels: a shady spot, water close at hand, loose clothing and a pause during the hottest part of the afternoon.
Our soaps, mists and toner are little additions to those everyday rituals, not a replacement for sun protection or keeping your body cool.
Whether you love an invigorating peppermint shower, a bright essential oil scent or a rose-infused evening cleanse, make a little space for yourself this summer.
With care,
Conscious Path
