Your Summer Skin Reset: Indie’s Essentials for the Heat

As the days get warmer and the sun shines a little brighter, our skin asks for a fresh approach. Summer isn’t just about SPF (though, you know I’m passionate about it!); it’s about hydration, balance, and letting your natural glow shine through with a little less fuss.  

Here’s how I love to reset my routine for the season-using some of my Indie Lee favorites that help you feel your best, inside and out: 

Start Fresh: Purifying Face Wash 
When the heat and humidity rise, so does excess oil. Our Purifying Face Wash is my summer go-to for a reason- it gently dissolves sebum, clears away impurities, and leaves skin feeling balanced, not stripped. Think of it as your daily detox, powered by clean, naturally-derived ingredients. 

Balance & Soothe: CoQ-10 Toner 
Humidity can leave skin feeling out of sync. I reach for our CoQ-10 Toner, an alcohol-free, antioxidant-rich, and instantly refreshing product. Indie tip: Store it in the fridge for a cooling spritz on hot afternoons. 

Lightweight Hydration: Squalane Facial Oil 
Swap heavy creams for our featherlight, COSMOS-certified, olive-derived Squalane Facial Oil. It absorbs quickly, locks in moisture, and leaves your complexion soft, nourished, and never greasy.  

Don’t Skip the SPF: Daily SPF Primer SPF 50 PA+++ 
This is your summer (fall, winter, and spring) must-have. Our Daily SPF Primer melts into skin, leaving every complexion with a golden veil of protection, no white cast, just a smooth, dewy finish. It’s the ultimate skincare finale and the perfect prep for makeup (or bare-faced days).  

Gentle Exfoliation: Coconut Citrus Body Scrub 
Between sunscreen, sweat, and city air, your skin deserves a reset. The Coconut Citrus Body Scrub buffs away dullness and leaves your body smooth, soft, and ready for summer adventures and summer dresses. 

Show Your Eyes Some Love: I-Waken Eye Serum

Long days in the sun can leave eyes looking tired. Our I-Waken Eye Serum cools, soothes, and brightens- think of it as a mini spa moment for your delicate eye area. 

Simplify. Slow Down. Breathe. 
Summer is an invitation to pare things back. Let your skincare routine work in harmony with your body’s natural rhythm. Sometimes, less truly is more. 

Here’s to staying cool, glowing bright, and savoring every sun-kissed moment. 

With love,
