This is your “how to“ blog on treating discolored skin, summer breakouts and hopefully your last sunburn of the summer.

Oh those lazy days of summer can unfortunately leave you with a lot of skin issues including; dark spots, cracked heels, and acne to name a few that women face at the end of the summer. We’ll show you how you can diminish these signs of summer with the help of amazing natural skin care products so you'll say hello to the fall with radiant, clear skin

1) Skin problem: Peeling Skin

If your sunburn has resulted into a peeling mess, you’ll need to comfort and heal your skin

Made with dilo Oil, macadamia oil, Ngi grass, aloe vera, lavender and mint to soothe and hydrate skin for up to 24 hours. Discover a gentle yet highly effective way to soothe, moisturize and nourish irritated skin affected by sunburn and dehydration

2) Skin problem: Dark spots and freckles

Dark spots and freckles mean you’ve had way too much fun in the sun without sun protection

The solution: To help diminish these spots, try using Pure Fiji’s Perfecting Day Creme

• It contains 3 active Amino Acids (tripeptide) which activate the regeneration of the skin.
• Stimulates the natural desquamation process of the skin leading to gentle peeling.Consequently a brighter, smoother and more evenly toned skin complexion is created.
• The skin is rejuvenated and looks younger.
• Improves smoothness, clarity and radiance.
• Reduces fine lines and uneven pigmentation.
• Activates skin cell regeneration.
• Rejuvenates the skin through biomimetic peeling

3) Skin problem: Acne

Sweating can absolutely make your acne worse especially if you’re combining thick SPF and makeup coupled with the sweat. That leads to pimples on the face and body

The solution: We recommend these natural skin care products as part of your skin care routine

a) Pure Fiji Purifying Cleanser

• Hydrates while it cleanses
• Suits all skin types
• Helps gently cleanse acne prone skin
• Natural oil regulator
• Sulphate free (Sulphate strips the skin of natural oils that our skin actually needs for protection)

b) Pure Fiji Balancing Toner

d) Pure Fiji Dilo Oil

• Wound healing with antibiotic properties
• Dry oil will not leave skin greasy
• Helps repair and minimize acne scars
• Soothes irritation and inflammation

4) Skin problem: Large pores

If you have oily skin you’ll tend to have larger pores due to their overactive oil glands. Too much sun will damage the collagen in the skin in addition to reducing elasticity, which in turn leads to increased pore size

The solution: We recommend using products containing alpha-Hydroxy acids like Pure Fiji’s Exfoliating Scrub which improve cell turnover to minimize the look of your pores

5) Skin problem: Dry Lips

Since our lips don't contain oil glands like other parts of the skin that means our lips are more susceptible to drying out and becoming chapped (cracked). Frequent sun exposure in the summer can also make your condition worsen

The Fix: To prevent dry, chapped lips, drink more water and apply Pure Fiji’s lip balm.

Why it works:

• Cold pressed virgin coconut oil, macadamia, dilo and sikeci oil protects and repairs skin.
• Beeswax moisturizes and helps retain moisture in the skin.
• Castor Oil soothes chapped lips, and makes them super smooth

6) Skin problem: Cracked heels

Don’t we just love our flip flops and open-backed sandals on hot summer days? Well, unfortunately your feet exposed to the sun are to blame for dry, cracked feet

The solution: To fix up your feet coconut milk bath pedicures will save the day

Coconut Milk Foot Soak

• Add Pure Fiji's luxurious Coconut Milk Bath Soak to warm water in a foot spa or appropriate basin.
• Soak your feet for 5 minutes.
• Remove feet from milk bath. Apply a spoon of Pure Fiji’s Sugar Rub to hands and gently massage into feet and calves until sugar dissolves and reaches honey-like consistency.
• Place feet in the warm milk bath, rinse and pat dry.
• Apply a spoonful of Pure Fiji’s Body Butter to each foot and massage for 5 minutes.
• Slip smooth feet into socks and let the indulgence of Pure Fiji work its magic for the rest of the day

7) Skin problem: Sunburn

No one likes sunburn but it happens

The solution: Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue Body Gel

Rescue and help repair skin with this nurturing dilo and aloe vera balm. It will instantly soothe, nourish and replenish irritated skin affected by sunburn, dry skin, insect bites, rashes or post-shaving irritations, acne, eczema, inflammation, bruising, post microdermabrasion, post radiation and chemotherapy

8) Skin problem: Rosacea

Rosacea is often triggered by extreme temperatures along with spicy foods, alcohol and stress

The solution: Apply a couple of drops of Dilo Oil to your face after cleansing. It contains natural anti-histamine designed to reduce inflammation

9) Skin problem: Leathered skin

Leathery-looking skin is a result of over-exposure to the sun’s burning and drying rays. While some of the damage may be irreversible maintaining a consistent skin care routine will be vital

The solution: In addition to daily SPF, we recommend Pure Fiji’s Anti-Aging Intense Day Creme which will be the key to keeping skin looking soft and smooth

Why it works: Halt the hands of time with this intense anti -aging formula which visibly reduces the signs of ageing on the face and décolleté. A rich botanical blend enhanced with peptides dramatically increases collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis to smooth and prevent wrinkles whilst restructuring and densifying the dermis. Ageing cells are recharged with long-life youth and hydration levels restored for a smoother and rejuvenated appearance

As you can see all those long days in the sun place a lot of stress on your skin and can lead to premature aging and wrinkles. As we head to the fall season be sure to read our blog post on why and how to change your natural skin care products with the changing seasons
