As much as we all love the outdoor adventures that come with summer, the skincare aftermath isn’t always something you want to remember fondly. Too much sun can leave your skin looking a little less than stellar. Add in some crazy back-and-forth “Is it autumn? Is it summer?” weather, and you need more than a few tricks up your sleeve.

Healing botanicals and antioxidant-rich products fit nicely into any skincare routine and are especially useful when the weather can’t seem to decide if it’s going to be hot, cold, dry, humid, or windy. Here are some of our favorite ingredients to help you gracefully transition between the seasons.

Calendula flowers have dermatological properties, including the ability to calm inflammation. Researchers have studied these flowers for their ability to protect against radiation, stimulate collagen, and fight off free radicals. What does this mean for post-summer skin? Products rich in calendula bioactives  speed wound healing, quell inflammation, and may even fight future sun damage.

If you’re dealing with eczema, minor ouchies, or dry, irritated skin, calendula can soothe the skin and give you some relief.  Our Skin Healer Salve is a fan favorite for relieving sunburn pain and itchy heat rashes. And many of our devoted customers rely on it to alleviate the burning and itching associated with eczema.

“I have eczema in the palm of my hand. For four years, i haven't had any major results with anything I've tried. I picked up a trial size, and within 24 hours noticed a big improvement. After 5 days, It’s amazing how It’s almost completely healed. Amazing!” – LC 8/8/22

Wishing you a bountiful autumn,
