Summer is in full swing, and while I’m soaking up every last bit of sunshine, I know that my skin could use some extra love. Between beach days, outdoor adventures, and all the hustle and bustle of summer activities, my skin tends to get a little stressed out. That’s why I’ve turned to the Invigorate Coffee & Raw Honey Scrub as my go-to skincare essential. It’s perfect for keeping my skin glowing all summer long and preps it for the back-to-school season and the subtle changes that come with the end of summer.
Why My Summer Skin Needs Extra Care
With the summer sun comes more time outdoors, which means my skin is exposed to UV rays, sweat, and environmental pollutants. All of these can lead to clogged pores, dullness, and even some sun damage. As I get ready for the back-to-school season, I want my skin to look and feel its best—radiant, smooth, and refreshed. That’s where the Invigorate Coffee & Raw Honey Scrub comes in.
The Dynamic Duo: Coffee and Honey
This scrub is a game-changer for my skin, especially during these hot summer months. It combines two natural powerhouses—coffee and raw honey—that work together to keep my skin clear, smooth, and hydrated.
Coffee: My Energizing Exfoliant
I no longer drink coffee, however just getting the chance to smell it every morning is all I need & it’s also a fantastic exfoliant. The fine coffee particles gently buff away dead skin cells, which accumulate on my skin & can make me look tired and dull. Plus, the caffeine in coffee has anti-inflammatory properties, which helps reduce any redness or puffiness, especially after a long day in the sun. Coffee is also loaded with antioxidants, which help protect my skin from the damage caused by free radicals.
Raw Honey: The Hydration Hero
Raw honey is a true skincare hero for me. It’s a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture into my skin, keeping it hydrated even on the hottest days. Honey is also packed with antioxidants and has antibacterial properties, making it great for keeping breakouts at bay while soothing and healing my skin. The enzymes in raw honey help to brighten my complexion and even out my skin tone, leaving it soft, smooth, and glowing.
How I Use It as a Daily Facial Scrub
I’ve made the Invigorate Coffee & Raw Honey Scrub a part of my daily skincare routine, and the results have been amazing. A gentle daily scrub helps keep my skin clear and smooth by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, which is especially important during the summer when my skin tends to get more congested.
Here’s how I use it:
1. Start by cleansing my face with my favorite Fresh Activated Charcoal Soap to remove any surface dirt, oil while in the shower.
2. Then, I apply a small amount of the scrub to my damp skin, gently massaging it in circular motions to exfoliate. I focus on areas like my T-zone, where I tend to get oily.
3. After that, I rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat my skin dry.
4. Then I follow up with a lightweight facial serum- Rejuvenate Facial Serum to lock in hydration without feeling heavy.
Using this scrub daily has really helped to keep my complexion bright, even, and smooth, which is exactly what I need as I gear up for the back-to-school season.
My Weekly Full-Body Treatment Ritual
For an all-over glow, I love treating myself to a full-body scrub with the Invigorate Coffee & Raw Honey Scrub once a week. This ritual is perfect for those days when I want to unwind and pamper myself after a busy week of summer activities.
To use as a body scrub:
1. In the shower, I apply a generous amount of the scrub to damp skin- arms, legs chest and anywhere else you may need the extra exfoliation.
2. I massage it in circular motions, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels.
3. I rinse off with warm water, then follow up with our Calm Vibes Triple Whipped Magnesium & Arnica Body butter to keep my skin soft, pain free and ready for deep sleep.
This weekly ritual leaves my skin feeling revitalized and silky smooth, and the energizing aroma of coffee gives me an extra boost, whether I'm preparing for a day of fun or winding down after a busy week.
Ready for Anything: Summer, School, and Beyond
Whether I’m enjoying the last days of summer or getting ready for the back-to-school season, the Invigorate Coffee & Raw Honey Scrub is my secret weapon for maintaining smooth, glowing skin. It’s the perfect way to keep my skin in top shape, ready to take on whatever the season brings. So, as I enjoy these sun-filled days and look ahead to the excitement of a new school year, I know my skin is nourished, exfoliated, and ready for anything.
