July brings longer days, warmer nights, and plenty of time spent outdoors. But with the extra sunshine comes the need for some serious skin TLC. Whether you’re heading to the beach, hiking through the hills, or simply enjoying a summer barbecue in your garden, your skin deserves a little extra love this month.
Here are our top 5 skincare tips for July, carefully curated to keep your skin glowing, protected, and balanced during the height of summer

1. Cool Down with a DIY Aloe Vera Mist
Heat and sun can leave your skin feeling hot, dry, and irritated. A cooling aloe vera mist is a natural way to refresh and hydrate on the go. Simply mix pure aloe vera gel with distilled water and a few drops of lavender or peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle. Store it in the fridge for an extra-soothing boost, and spritz it onto your face or body whenever you need quick relief. Especially after sun exposure or during a hot summer afternoon.
2. Don’t Skip the Double Cleanse
Sweat, SPF, and summer pollution can clog pores fast. Double cleansing in the evening helps remove all traces of the day. Start with a gentle oil based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and grime, then follow with a water based cleanser to purify and refresh. Your skin will thank you the next morning.
3. Hydrate from the Inside Out
July heat can dehydrate your skin just as much as it does your body. Drink plenty of water and boost your hydration levels with water rich foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens. Add a few mint leaves or slices of lemon to your water for a refreshing, skin friendly twist.

4. Keep Your Pillowcase Clean
Warmer nights mean more sweating as you sleep, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts, especially if your pillowcase isn’t fresh. Swap out your pillowcase at least twice a week in July. Even better, use a silk or bamboo one, which is naturally gentler on your skin and absorbs less moisture and oil.
5. Treat Your Feet
It’s sandal season and your feet are finally seeing the light of day! Give them some attention with a weekly foot soak (Epsom salts and a few drops of tea tree oil work wonders), followed by a natural exfoliation using a homemade scrub of sugar and olive oil. Finish with a rich balm to keep heels soft and crack-free.

July is all about balance: enjoying the sunshine while protecting and nurturing your skin. With just a few mindful tweaks to your routine, you can keep your skin happy and healthy all summer long.
