Coconut Oil


First up, coconut oil. This stuff is a summer staple. It’s like liquid gold for your skin. Picture this: after a day at the beach, your skin feels dry and tight. Enter coconut oil. It’s super hydrating and helps to lock in moisture. Plus, it’s got a natural SPF (though, let’s be clear, you still need proper sunscreen).

  • Moisturizer: Slather it on after a shower to keep your skin soft and smooth. 
  • Hair Care: Got frizzy hair from the humidity? Rub a tiny bit of coconut oil through your strands to tame the frizz and add shine. 
  • After-Sun Care: Spent too much time in the sun? Coconut oil can soothe and heal sunburned skin.

Tamanu Oil

Then there’s Tamanu oil. Oh boy, this oil is a game-changer for summer skincare products. It's like a superhero for your skin, with its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Perfect for summer!

  • Healing: If you’ve got sunburns or minor cuts, Tamanu oil can speed up the healing process. 
  • Acne Fighter: Summer heat can make you break out. Tamanu oil helps keep those pimples at bay. 
  • Scars and Stretch Marks: Regular use can reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, leaving your skin looking smooth and even-toned. 

Face and Body Mists

Now, let’s talk about staying cool. Summer can be hot, sticky, and just plain uncomfortable. That’s where face and body mists come in. They’re like a refreshing drink for your skin.

  • Cooling Down: Keep a mist in your bag and spritz it on whenever you need to cool off. Cool 
  • Hydration: These mists often contain hydrating ingredients like aloe vera or cucumber, keeping your skin fresh and hydrated.
  • Aroma Therapy: Many mists are infused with essential oils that smell divine and can help calm your mind and lift your spirits.
