Glowing summer skin with natural cosmetics - read 5 tips!

At Ausganica, we believe that natural cosmetics are the best way to provide your skin with care that is simultaneously protective, nourishing, and pure. The Northern summer is short but intense, and the sun brings its own challenges to skincare. When looking for the best skincare routine for the summer months, we definitely recommend focusing on pure ingredients.

Here are our five tips to ensure healthy skin even in summer – without forgetting delightful pampering moments. 🤍

1. Hydration: Beauty from within and without
Moisture is key to everything. In summer, our bodies lose fluids, for example, through sweat, which quickly shows on the skin as dullness and fine lines.

Internally: Always carry a water bottle with you. Add cucumber or fresh mint to the water: it helps flush out toxins and keeps your skin supple.

Externally: High-quality natural cosmetics utilize water-binding ingredients without unnecessarily pore-clogging components. Switch heavy creams to light serums and hydrating mists for the summer. For example, our wonderful Chamomile German Hydrosol facial mist is an excellent choice for quick hydration, as it instantly restores your skin's vitality.

2. Protect your skin and take care of your health
Even though the sun feels wonderful after a long, dark winter, daily sun protection should not be forgotten. Use a high SPF and remember to reapply it when outdoors or swimming.

3. Cleansing – the most important step in a skincare routine
Sweat, oil, and sunscreen require effective yet gentle cleansing. Acne that often appears in summer is caused by overly harsh cleansers that damage the skin's protective barrier. A natural cleanser strengthens your skin's own balance and cleanses impurities without irritating it too much.

We warmly recommend trying, for example, our Rose Cleansing Oil!

4. Gently exfoliate and brighten
In summer, skin may appear dull due to dead skin cells, which is why we recommend exfoliating a couple of times a week. So, choose a product that gently brightens and exfoliates your skin without damaging its protective barrier. After exfoliation, moisturizing is an absolutely essential part of the skincare routine!

5. Antioxidants as the skin's own shield
The sun's UV radiation generates free radicals on the skin. These are unstable molecules that damage skin cells and thus, for example, accelerate aging, causing lines and pigmentation changes.

You can combat this damage by choosing serums that are rich in nature's own antioxidants, such as vitamin C. Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals and act as an invisible protective shield for the skin.

This is natural cosmetics at its best: pure ingredients help your skin defend itself and maintain its glow throughout the summer.

Don't forget to stop and enjoy the summer

Even if you treat your skin with the world's best products, remember to also enjoy summer with all your senses. Breathe in the scent of lavender, perhaps during a foot bath, and let the summer moments relax your mind as well.

Ausganica is here to ensure your summer is full of carefree beauty, straight from nature's own pharmacy.
