☀️ Get Summer-Ready: How to Prep Your Skin for the Season Ahead ☀️

Sherry Little

As we welcome the warmer, sun-soaked days of summer, it’s time to refresh more than just our closets—our skin needs a seasonal switch-up too. Spring’s cooler air gave us a chance to revive dry winter skin, but summer brings its own challenges: sun exposure, humidity, sweat, and clogged pores. The key? Lightweight hydration, sun protection, and gentle exfoliation.

Here’s how to prep your skin for summer—and how Cecileigh Beauty products, now available in fresh new spring and summer scents, can help you glow through the season.


🌿 From Spring Dewy to Summer Glow

In spring, we focus on reviving and moisturizing. Come summer, we’re dealing with oilier skin, clogged pores, and increased sun exposure. That means swapping out heavier formulas for lighter, skin-loving ones that breathe with you.

Your summer skin essentials? Think hydrating toners, gentle scrubs, soothing soaps, and lightweight lip care—and yes, we’ve got those ready and waiting.


☀️ First and Foremost: SPF

Sunscreen isn’t optional—it’s essential. Daily sun protection helps prevent fine lines, dark spots, and long-term damage. Mineral sunscreen pairs beautifully with our light, nourishing skincare lineup. Layer it on every morning as your final step before heading out the door.


🧖🏽‍♀️ Gently Exfoliate for a Fresh Start

Regular exfoliation helps slough off sweat, dirt, and sunscreen buildup—but it has to be gentle.

Our Facial Coffee Scrub is summer skin’s best friend. Made with finely ground coffee, emu oil, coconut oil, rosehip oil, and vitamin E, it buffs and brightens without stripping your skin. The natural caffeine wakes up dull, tired skin, leaving you smooth, clear, and ready to glow.


💧 Tone, Soothe, and Hydrate

Hot, humid days call for cooling, clarifying products that won’t clog your pores.

🌿 Our Calm & Clear Facial Toner is perfect for this. Light and refreshing, it helps balance oil and calm irritation. Originally made for my daughter’s teen skin, it’s now a favorite for mature, sensitive, and combination skin types alike. A few spritzes post-cleanse help your skin stay calm and refreshed all day long.

🧼 Don’t forget your body—our Velvet Hydration Bar Soaps are crafted with coconut oil, olive pomace, sunflower oil, and organic shea butter for a creamy lather that never dries you out. They’re available in seasonal scents like:

  • 🌺 Hawaiian Petals – A tropical blend of plumeria, pineapple, and green leaves
  • 🍯 Oatmeal Milk & Honey – Comforting and gentle, perfect for sensitive summer skin
  • 💜 Wild Temptation – A bold and seductive blend with hints of warm berries and soft musk
  • 🌊 Zen Waters – Clean, spa-inspired, and serene, with notes of fresh water and crisp air

More summer-inspired bars are in the works, so stay tuned!


👄 Lips Need Summer Love Too

Lips can dry out quickly in the heat or sun, so show them some TLC:

💋 Start with our Sugar Lip Scrub to gently buff away dry skin.

💄 Then follow with our deeply hydrating Luxe Lip Balm, made with emu oil, cocoa butter, kokum butter, shea, mango butter, and more. These balms glide on smooth and protect without feeling waxy.

Available in delicious seasonal flavors like:

  • 🌸 Hawaiian Petals
  • 🍯 Oatmeal Milk & Honey
  • 💜 Wild Temptation
  • 🌊 Zen Waters
  • 🌿 Perfectly Peppermint
  • 🧊 Cool Dude (unflavored with a slight cooling tingle)

Your lips will feel as soft as a summer breeze.
