THE RAAIE GUIDE TO LAYERING SUMMER SKINCARE
Creating a botanical armour against the sun has never been easier.
Summer skin, it holds a glow like no other. Radiance however requires protection.
Our brand was born in the harshest UV conditions in the world, which is why we're your experts in creating the ultimate daily shield.
Each product in our range has been specially-formulated to work in harmony with one another. But, even we know that the realm of skincare layering can feel overwhelming. It's crucial though. Correct layering will ensure that your skin gets the most out of each careful step.
Reimagine summer skin with our range of essentials — here’s our guide to summer skincare layering. For daily AM use.
1. Cleanse: Golden Mānuka Honey Enzyme Cleanser
An effective routine is nothing without a hero cleanser. Our formula harnesses the antimicrobial, skin-healing history of mānuka honey for modern power. It’s a powerhouse for reducing acne breakouts and skin irritations, thanks to of its high methylglyoxal (MGO) presence.
Use daily to ensure a clean slate. Pump three times into the palm of your hand and massage onto skin in circular motions for 60 seconds. Leave your skin slightly damp to prep the next steps, for optimal product absorption.
Pro Tip: Amplify usage as a mask 1-2 times a week for extra bouncy skin. Celebrity facial expert Rebecca Faria has also created an easy five step, at-home lymphatic massage for use with our cleanser. Discover HERE.
2. Treat: Serum
Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum
Did you know that SPF alone isn’t enough to fully protect your skin? Sunscreen may shield against UV rays, but free radicals and infrared radiation can still slip through the cracks. The solution? A powerful antioxidant boost of Vitamin C.
Serums are often referred to as the “beauty workhorse” of a skincare regime, and it’s for good reason. Our high-potency formula combines two different types of Vitamin C to brighten and strengthen.
Apply to slightly damp skin to enhance product penetration. Ensure serum is properly absorbed before following onto hydration.
Pro Tip: If layering two different types of serums, we recommend applying the thinnest formula first.
3. Moisturise: Cocoon Ceramide Cream
It's all about the barrier. Keeping up barrier health is crucial for our skin's daily fight against aggressors, such as the sun and pollution.
Our enriching moisturiser is packed with seven different types of ceramides, alongside mamaku black fern to lift and tighten the skin, and hand-harvested marine algae for hydration and brightening.
Perfect for all skin types. Might we mention, our cream will also keep in all the benefits of our Morning Dew Vitamin C locked right in.
Pro Tip: Effective hydration creates a smoother base for seamless SPF application.
4. Protect: SPF
Sun Milk Drops Tinted SPF 50
Last but most certainly not least: slip, slop, slap. A non-negotiable for all seasons.
Our ultra-lightweight formula provides SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection that feels like second-skin. Forget the days of greasy, bulky sunscreens.
Apply generously to the skin as the final step in your routine, ensuring full coverage. We recommend reapplying every 2 hours for continuous defence.
Pro Tip: Our formula is also incredible for priming your skin for makeup without clogging any pores.
