Sun Valley Summer Skincare Inspiration

Jun 9

Written By Jennifer Schroeder

Summer is in full swing in the valley, and the cottonwoods, aspens, and lupine are singing with love. With the change in seasons come vibrant yellow clouds of pollen.

As hiking and biking season gets underway, so do allergens, and I like to incorporate a few new elements into my summer skincare routine, focusing on sinus relief and lymphatic drainage. Here are six steps to keep you feeling at your best this summer:

1. Start the detoxification process first. If you like to perform a daily sinus care routine (Neti Pot, Nasopure, saline treatment, etc), do this before your skincare. For a facial cleanser, I use the Bare Beauty Oil Cleanser from Le Muiex. In the shower, apply Cleanser to the face, neck, and chest.

2. Open the lymphatic draining process. Start by massaging your underarms in a circular motion. I also like to focus on the sides of my neck and chest, always massaging towards the nearest lymph nodes and then to the heart. Rhythmic, gentle, and slower movements help to mimic the body's natural lymphatic drainage.

3. Apply firm pressure and massage to the sinus area. Starting on the sides of your nose, use your middle and ring fingers. You want to find the area below your cheekbone below the maxillary sinus. It is a ridge that you can gently massage underneath.

4. Mimic the body's natural sinus flow. With slow rhythmic movements apply firm pressure towards the ears. I also like to circle around the ears because we really don't give our ears enough love. This should feel so good!

5. Create a lifting effect. Using your whole palm, start at the chin and glide upwards on the cheeks towards the ears for a lifting effect. If you need more oil, apply a bit more to ensure you have sufficient glide.

6. Have fun on your forehead! Use your whole palm to glide upwards; I also love to use my thumbs to massage between my eyebrows. It feels amazing.

I hope this helps with your summer skincare routine and provides you with another enjoyable summer activity.

See you at the spa soon Dreamers,
