Hydrolats: refreshing allies for your summer skincare routine
When summer arrives, we all look for effective and natural ways to refresh and care for our skin. That's where hydrosols come in! These wonderful products derived from plant distillation offer a multitude of benefits for the skin, especially during the warmer months. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of hydrosols and show you how to incorporate them into your summer skincare routine.
Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, are obtained during the distillation of plants to produce essential oils. Used for centuries for their healing and cosmetic properties, these aromatic waters leave a delicate fragrance on the skin and offer undeniable benefits for the face.
Composed of aloe vera water and small amounts of volatile compounds from the plant, hydrosols are gentle and respect the skin microbiome while rebalancing the skin's pH.
Here are some of the benefits of hydrosols for your summer skincare routine:
Refreshing and soothing properties:
Hydrosols offer an instant cooling sensation when applied to the skin, which is especially beneficial during hot summer days. They help soothe irritations and redness, leaving skin calm and revitalized.
Luce's tip: For an even more refreshing experience, you can store your hydrosols in the refrigerator.
Light and balanced hydration:
Hydrosols provide light, balanced hydration to the skin without clogging pores or weighing it down. They help maintain optimal hydration levels, which is essential during the summer months when skin can become dehydrated from the heat.
Did you know? For even more active ingredients, at Belle Luce, our floral waters are distilled on an Aloe Vera water base!
Purifying and toning action:
Some hydrosols have purifying and toning properties, making them an ideal choice for oily or blemish-prone skin. For example, rosemary hydrosol helps balance sebum production and purify the skin, while verbena hydrosol is known for its soothing and firming properties, helping to tighten pores and improve skin elasticity.
Versatile use:
Hydrosols can be used in a variety of ways in your summer skincare routine. You can spray them directly onto your face for an instant cooling sensation, use them as a toner after cleansing, incorporate them into face masks , or use them as a makeup remover by mixing them with calendula oil . Their versatility allows you to adapt their use to your specific needs.
