Seasonal Tips for Staying Hydrated Inside and Out with Eco-Friendly Skincare

As the seasons change, our skincare routine should adapt too. Staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking enough water, it relates equally to how we care for our skin.

With our tips for maintaining hydration both inside and out, you can ensure your skin stays healthy and vibrant no matter the time of year. Plus, we'll guide you on how to do this in a way that’s kind to both your body and the planet - using natural skincare, organic skincare, and eco-friendly living. 

Drink Up, But Choose Wisely

Hydration starts from the inside. While we all know the adage about drinking eight glasses of water a day, the kind of water you choose can make a difference. For an eco-friendly approach, consider filtering your tap water instead of purchasing bottled water in single-use plastics.

I personally love the bottles from Ocean Bottle, which use 65% recycled materials and are part made from recycled plastic; they also fund the collection of ocean-bound plastic - the equivalent to 1,000 plastic bottles) for every bottle sold. I personally recommend the Sky Blue Ocean Bottle - not an ad, just what I use and love.

Not only will this reduce your plastic footprint, but it will also support your commitment to a plastic-free lifestyle.

Bask the Right Way With Reef-Safe Sunscreens

Whether you're a swimmer, sailor, or just love lounging on the beach, protecting your skin from UV rays is crucial. Choose a reef-safe sunscreen UK swimmers trust, ensuring that your product doesn’t harm marine life.

Our Ocean-Safe Ingredients List will help you decipher ingredient labels to make the most ocean-friendly choice.

Moisturise with Nature’s Gifts

The right moisturiser can lock in your skin's natural hydration. Choose products from the natural skincare and organic skincare categories.

Ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, and coconut oil are fantastic for keeping your skin hydrated without synthetic additives. These plant based moisturisers not only hydrate but also nourish your skin, which is perfect for those salty beach days or cold winter months.

Embrace Eco Skincare Tools

Paddleboarders and divers often find themselves exposed to challenging elements. Equip your skincare routine with tools that don’t harm the ocean.

Bamboo washcloths and reusable cotton pads are fantastic additions that pair perfectly with vegan skincare. This combination not only benefits your skin but also helps you stick to your eco-friendly skincare plan.

Hydrating Habits for Every Season

Each season brings its own challenges. During the colder months, indoor heating can zap moisture from the air, so consider investing in a good quality humidifier to maintain skin hydration.

In warmer seasons, opt for lighter, gel-based moisturisers that help your skin breathe while keeping it moist. Different needs require adaptive skincare routines - explore how sustainable skincare for swimmers or eco skincare for paddleboarders can vary throughout the year.

Looking After the Planet

A holistic approach to skincare is more important than ever. By choosing vegan skincare and eco-friendly skincare products that are more gentle on the planet, you’re not only nurturing your own well-being but contributing towards a sustainable future.

Plastic-free beauty for divers and natural skincare for sailors are great steps towards making a difference. When our care for our skin reflects care for the earth, we achieve something beautiful.
