Seasonal skincare

The experts at GAIA Skincare tell us how to harmonise our approach to skincare with the changing seasons

Our mind and body can be affected with the changing seasons, and the same is true for our skin. To help us navigate the ways our skincare needs to adapt with the season, organic brand GAIA Skincare is here to recommend its best products to add to your routine to help keep you feeling nourished and radiant all year round.

Spring

Like our homes and wardrobes, it’s always great to spring clean your skincare routine. Make sure you take the time to review the products on your dressing table to ensure they’re in date and fresh to use. It’s a great time to review your facial skincare routine too, ensuring you’re using the right products to leave your skin feeling refreshed.

The Naturally Range from GAIA includes a facial wash, toner and moisturiser to cover the three key steps of your skincare routine. The GAIA Facial Wash gently cleanses the skin and removes impurities, with a blend of rose water and apricot essential oils. Combined with rosemary essential oils and aloe vera extract, the wash will leave the skin smooth and hydrated. 

Follow this with the Facial Toner, offering a soothing blend of rose and geranium extracts to help calm and balance the skin, before applying the Naturally Moisturiser. A hydrating blend of jojoba and coconut oil will nourish the skin without it feeling too heavy.

Summer

During the warmer months we strive for that natural, healthy glow that comes with spending time outdoors. Shedding layers of clothing, it’s time for your skin to shine!

If your legs and arms are on show, make sure they feel soft and smooth with a gentle exfoliator. GAIA’s Awakening Body Scrub is perfect for weekly use, combining natural clay and sea salt with jojoba oil, leaving your skin gently polished and deeply hydrated. Gently fragranced with an awakening blend of peppermint, rosemary, and lemongrass essential oils, it will uplift your senses too.

Air conditioning and weeks of warm weather can leave skin feeling dry too, so find balance with a moisturiser that will deeply nourish your body. GAIA’s Natural Body Butter will melt luxuriously into your skin with a creamy blend of shea butter.

Autumn & Winter

As the cold draws in, it’s important to protect your skin against harsh weather. Now is a good time to opt for richer moisturisers or look to adding a serum to your skincare routine.

GAIA offers a Crystal Range Trio of energising skincare, which incorporates the healing qualities of crystals into your daily routine. Look to add a few drops of the Crystal Everglow Serum to your routine, tickled pink with hibiscus, the natural ingredient offers a natural source of acids to balance your skin and increase cell regeneration.

Follow this up with the Crystal Nourishing Cream, a deeply hydrating moisturiser of shea butter and cacay oil to leave the skin looking and feeling radiant.

Enhance your winter skincare routine by using a face mask once or twice a week, not only giving your skin an extra boost, but a great excuse for a little me-time.

GAIA’s award-winning Crystal Purifying Mask combines the soothing properties of rose quartz crystals with natural extracts of pomegranate and hibiscus. Full of antioxidants it not only helps to prevent skin damage and the breakdown of collagen, but encourages cell rejuvenation, leaving your skin feeling firm and smooth, the way mother nature intended.
