☀️ Why Summer Can Still Dry You Out
You’d think summer would bring glowing, hydrated skin, right? But for many, the combination of sun exposure, sweat, air conditioning, and dehydration can lead to dry, flaky, or tight skin—especially if you’re using the wrong products.
The good news? With a few smart swaps, you can nourish your skin naturally and get that summer glow without the grease, irritation, or chemicals.
Here are 5 easy skincare swaps you can start today to keep your skin soft, supple, and summer-ready.
1. ❌ Swap Harsh Soaps for Gentle Whipped Soap
Traditional bar soaps and sulphate-heavy gels can strip your skin of its natural oils—making it feel tight and itchy after every wash.
✅ Try This Instead:
Our Whipped Soaps are a light, fluffy blend of gentle cleansers and nourishing oils. They cleanse without over-drying and are packed with skin-softening ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E.
👉 Perfect for showering or shaving.

2. ❌ Ditch Synthetic Lotions for Whipped Body Butter
Lotions filled with alcohol or synthetic fragrances can make dry skin worse. They often sit on top of your skin instead of truly hydrating it.
✅ Upgrade To:
Our Whipped Shea Body Butter melts into your skin like a dream, deeply nourishing with shea butter, coconut oil, and jojoba. It’s vegan, handmade, and a little goes a long way.
👉 Use after sun, showers, or before bed.

3. ❌ Skip Overpowering Perfume – Use a Natural Body Oil
Strong perfumes and sprays can irritate sun-exposed skin.
✅ Choose Natural Oils Instead:
Our Scented Body Oils double up as moisturisers and subtle summer fragrances. They absorb fast, hydrate deeply, and leave you smelling delicious without the harsh chemicals.
👉 Great for layering after a shower or before going out.

4. ❌ Avoid Over-Exfoliating – Try a Happy Scrub Soap
Too much scrubbing can damage your skin barrier and lead to more dryness.
✅ Try a 2-in-1 Option:
Our Happy Scrub Soaps gently exfoliate using poppy seeds or sugar, while cleansing and softening your skin in one step. No need for extra products.
👉 Use 2–3 times a week for glowing, healthy skin.

5. ❌ Stop Ignoring Your Feet & Elbows
Dry patches often show up on elbows, knees, and feet in summer—especially if you’re in sandals or sleeveless fits.
✅ Show Them Some Love:
Massage a bit of our Whipped Body Butter into rough areas daily. It softens, smooths, and helps prevent cracks or ashiness.
💚 Pro Tip: Apply before bed and wear socks overnight for ultra-smooth feet by morning.
