As the seasons change, so does our skin, and the hot summer months are all about hydration, protection from the sun and keeping your skin nourished and radiant.
Our bodies are up to 70% water, so it makes sense that our largest organ—our skin—needs to be adequately hydrated especially during the hotter months. We know that protecting the delicate outer protective layers of the skin is key to holding water in the skin and this is where Preidlhof’s beautifully natural and ethical skincare line comes into its own. It is formulated to work deep down to repair and nourish even the most stressed of skins, adding a much-needed boost of summer radiance. While all of the products in the range are suitable for almost every skin type, the following are especially beneficial during the hotter months to cleanse and hydrate all summer long:

Revitalizing Beauty Mist
This divinely-scented mist instantly refreshes and hydrates the skin. Simply spritz on the face after cleansing or anytime during the day when you feel hot and tired. It’s also perfect post-exercise—keep one in your yoga or Pilates bag and spritz away…
Deep Cleansing for Nightly Repair
As our skin works with our body’s natural circadian rhythms, nightly skin repair can start as early as dusk, with the skin moving slowly into repair mode as the sun goes down. With this in mind, it makes sense to remove the day’s grime and thoroughly cleanse the skin as early as possible in the evening to maximise skin repair through the night. Both our Cleansing Milk and Oil come into their own here.
Cleansing Milk
Our delicate Cleansing Milk cleans and refreshes, while protecting the skin’s natural barrier. Perfect for young skin and more sensitive skin types, it can be used both morning and evening. Gently massage over the face and eye area before removing with a warm damp cloth and spritzing with Beauty Mist.
Cleansing Oil
When massaged over the skin Preidlhof’s Cleansing Oil thoroughly removes makeup and impurities, leaving the skin soft, supple and clean. Simply wet your face or hands and massage into the skin like a mousse. Then, wash your face (keeping your eyes firmly closed). This on its own is the perfect evening cleanse, but if you wear a lot of make-up or feel that your skin is overloaded with pollutants, then add a second cleanse using the Cleansing Milk, before spritzing with Beauty Mist.
Don’t forget SPF!
Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, apply 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every two hours.
Nourish from the Inside Out with Summer Superfoods
Lastly, we know that our skin is a powerful expression of what is happening inside our bodies, with the building blocks of the skin’s essential nutrients coming directly from food. So the better we nourish ourselves with nature’s colourful goodness, the more efficiently these active ingredients will work to strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and its internal cells.
In particular, foods rich in antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and support your skin’s natural repair processes:
- Berries – antioxidant powerhouses
- Summer vegetables – packed with vitamins A & C
- Quinoa, lentils, buckwheat, wholegrain rice – nourishing grains
- Nuts & seeds – healthy fats to lock in moisture
Egg yolks, pomegranate seeds, edamame beans – lecithin-rich foods that support cell membranes.
Educating Teens & Young Adults on Skincare
In line with our family and intergenerational wellness focus, why not use these summer holiday months to educate your teenagers and young adult children on the importance of taking care of their body’s largest organ—the skin. Although girls are generally more receptive to this advice, boys too need to take care of their skin by cleansing and protecting….
