Since ancient times, the Summer Solstice has been considered a symbolic moment for the rebirth of body and mind. On the one hand, we experience the need to deeply purify the body, in a reset operation, and on the other we feel the need to revitalize the senses. So, let’s dedicate ourselves to exfoliating the skin of the face and body, to juice cleansing to expel toxins and stagnant liquids and pamper the skin with boosters, serums and masks infused with antioxidant vitamins.

Dedicate the right time to these rituals and take them as an important moment to listen to yourself, look inside and unleash your best energy.

Summer Powers

Living within the seasons and being inspired by them is such a simple way to bring a sense of awareness, beauty, and joy into your life. When you are living in tune with the outer changes, you can make meaningful shifts in how you live, too—no more rat race, no more doing the same thing day in and day out—instead, you are connected, again, with the way of the earth and are more open to its lessons.

Let’s explore, then, the powers of this moment.

Sun Power – the significance of the sun is benevolence, honesty and truthness. Solar energies are related to brightness, expansion, and success. It marks a time to celebrate! Yes, we love the moon but let’s now honour the sun with summer SOLstice rituals – not forgetting to make them utterly beautiful!

Flower power – an old tradition for women is to pick seven different species of flowers during midsummer. In medieval times, herbs and flowers picked during the summer solstice were believed to carry extra healing energy, with sacred plants including: Chamomile, Daisy, Fern, Ivy, Joan’s Wort, Lavender, Mugwort, Vervain and Yarrow. Traditionally, women go to the fields and gather different kinds of wild flowers and grasses, with the folklore promising that if you slept with these under your pillow, you’d dream of your future mate.

Fairies Power – remember that the night before Summer Solstice (the Eve of Mid Summer Night) the fairies are out making mischief, and the veil is thin between worlds – ideal for magic! Make a beauty magic out of this magic.

Summer skincare tips

As we shift into more heat, sunshine, and outdoor play time, it’s an opportunity to hydrate, replenish, and protect our skin to keep our skin healthy, supple, and strong with simple but mindful shifts in our personal care and daily rituals that connect us deeper to the earth and to ourselves.

Cleanse – The dead skin cells tend to accumulate on your face, so it needs a proper cleansing at least once a week besides the daily cleansing. Exfoliation will cleanse the clogged skin pores on your face and let your skin breathe. We don’t recommend exfoliating more than 2-3 times a week, as excessive scrubbing could lead to redness, rash, and breakouts. Exfoliate your face with Start over, Start fresh face mask that, thanks to the action of the natural glycolic acid of the apple contained, will remove all impurities from your skin effectively and gently. Always cleanse at night to remove sunscreen, dirt, pollution, bacteria, and makeup buildup. A great cleansing cream like Cleansing Milk and the super precious new Cleansing Pad will also help to hydrate and keep the skin strong.

Moisturize – Extreme heats in summer cause dehydration in the body, which leads to dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is the key factor to prevent your skin from being damaged and dulled. We recommend moisturizing on a daily basis using products depending on your skin type. If you prefer a light texture, go with Y- Raising Beauty moisturizing face cream, a gorgeous moisturization with the lightest texture, perfect also for mixed and oily skins.

Replenish and protect – with an antioxidant rich serum. After cleansing and moisturizing, finish your evening summer skincare ritual with a restorative serum. YYY – Forever Beauty firming face serum is filled with time-tested botanicals like ratania which contributes to the protection from solar radiation and is particularly suitable for oily, asphyxiated skin or skin with blackheads thanks to its anti-inflammatory, soothing and anti-reddening properties to support your skin’s resistance to UV stress and inflammation. Add a few drops just after the cleansing and boost your skin’s resilience.
