Summer is almost on it's way out but there is still time to upgrade your summer skincare routine as your skincare needs change. Take advantage of lush recommended skincare products lush summer products with seasonal key ingredients like calendula, cucumber and coconut.

Calendula or Marigold

Calendula, or Marigold has long been known to benefit to the skin, particularly sensitive skin types. Calendula is used in skincare formulations for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.  It is sometimes used to treat eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, diaper rash, sunburn, and insect bites.  It is a lovely oil that is gentle enough for babies and can be used in the bath water or after bathing to moisturize skin.  

Solavedi Organics Calendula Turmeric Day Cream

I'm loving Solavedi Organics Calendula Turmeric Day Cream at online skincare boutique The Choosy Chick! It's mild enough for sensitive skin, spreads like a dream, and even contains a little sun protection. For all skin types, including sensitive and combination, this beautiful garden-inspired natural skin cream was created to heal, hydrate, protect and comfort irritated skin. Calendula, rose water, turmeric and carrot provide calming comfort and nourishment to bothered skin and protection from harsh elements.
