To be honest, the travel aspect is almost just as important: one bottle for your body and hair, instead of packing several products in your luggage.<\/p>\n
3. Lukewarm is better\u2014and feels more comfortable in the summer anyway.<\/h2>\n
Very hot water can further dry out the skin. Lukewarm water is perfectly sufficient for cleansing; it refreshes on hot days and is gentler on the skin barrier.<\/p>\n
Duration also matters: it\u2019s better to take a short shower at a comfortable, slightly cool temperature than a long one at a very hot temperature.<\/p>\n
4. The trick is timing, not quantity.<\/h2>\n
Apply lotion while your skin is still slightly damp\u2014right after you dry off, not twenty minutes later. The lotion will spread more easily then, and you\u2019ll usually need less of it.<\/p>\n
Our Body lotion<\/a> (200 ml) absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling nourished and non-greasy. This is important in the summer when you\u2019re going to wear a linen dress, a T-shirt, or shorts over it.<\/p>\n In the morning, a small amount of our Anakena face cream\u2014about the size of a pea\u2014is usually enough. Let it absorb briefly, and then apply your sunscreen. In the evening, you can adjust the amount based on how your skin feels at the moment\u2014more isn\u2019t necessarily better.<\/p>\n Our Face cream<\/a> (50 ml) contains, among other ingredients, turmeric, organic guava extract, organic algae extract, and coenzyme Q10. Its light, silky texture absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a heavy feeling on the skin, even in warm weather.<\/p>\n Saltwater and chlorinated water can leave your skin feeling dry or tight. That's why you should rinse off briefly with fresh water after bathing and then apply a light moisturizer.<\/p>\n That summer feeling lingers. The sandpaper-like sensation doesn't.<\/p>\n After days of wind, water, and sun, your skincare routine can be a little richer. That's when our Mono\u00ef de Tahiti<\/a> (100 ml) Next up: Fresh tiare flowers are macerated in coconut oil over several days. The oil is produced in Tahiti, bears the protected designation of origin \u201eAppellation d\u2019Origine,\u201c and each bottle contains a real tiare flower.<\/p>\n Warm a few drops between your palms and apply a thin layer to skin that is still slightly damp\u2014for example, on your shoulders, arms, and shins.<\/p>\n If the Mono\u00ef has solidified in the bottle, place the bottle briefly in warm water. This is not a product defect, but a natural property of coconut oil, which solidifies at around 24\u00b0C.<\/p>\n For use on hair, there is a separate post about the Summer Hair Care with Mono\u00ef<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to the study conducted by our safety assessor, our Skin & Hair Shower Gel and our Mono\u00ef de Tahiti are also suitable for toddlers aged 0 to 3 years.<\/p>\n On a family vacation, this means: a shower gel for the body and hair, and an oil that can be used for a gentle massage for the whole family after bathing. In Polynesia, mono\u00ef is also traditionally used for the care of babies and young children.<\/p>\n There are still four things that are important:<\/p>\n \u2013 Start with a very small amount and use more only if necessary.<\/p>\n \u2013 Do not get in the eyes or mouth, and do not apply to sore, irritated, or sunburned skin.<\/p>\n \u2013 Test a new product on a small area of skin first. If you have very sensitive skin or existing skin problems, consult your pediatrician beforehand.<\/p>\n \u2013 Oil is never a substitute for sunscreen. Babies under one year of age should always stay in the shade. Toddlers should also avoid the intense midday sun as much as possible.<\/p>\n You can find the complete ingredient lists for our products at any time in our List of All Ingredients<\/a>.<\/p>\n Drinking. Shade. Breaks.<\/p>\n In the end, your skin also reveals how you got through a hot day: whether you spent too much time in the midday sun, didn\u2019t drink enough, or didn\u2019t give your body a break. No skincare product can reverse excessive UV exposure or a sunburn.<\/p>\n And it doesn't have to. Good summer skincare should support the skin\u2014not promise to make up for everything else.<\/p>\n
5. In the summer, surprisingly little is often enough for the face.<\/h2>\n
6. Rinse thoroughly once after swimming in the ocean or pool.<\/h2>\n
7. An oil that smells like an island in the evening.<\/h2>\n
8. And yes: Our shower gel and Mono\u00ef have also been approved for use by even the youngest children.<\/h2>\n
9. The most unspectacular tip is often the one that pays off the most.<\/h2>\n
