Summer skin protection with Human Nature

As the weather gets warmer and humidity gets higher, the skin's sebaceous glands produce excess sebum that gets stuck on skin's surface, causing sweat-induced clogged pores, acne breakouts, and greasiness.

But the effects don't end there. Long exposure to the sun's UV rays can cause skin redness and sunburns.

To make summer adventures extra fun and skin-friendly at the same time, here are some Human Nature recommended products.

Sun protection should be all-year round but even more so this summer. Human Nature has a 100-percent Natural SafeProtect Sunscreen, which protects the skin from 97-percent of skin-burning UVB rays and blocks harmful UVA rays with its broad-spectrum PA+++ rating. It's also one of the few sunscreens in the Philippines that has no oxybenxone and octinoxate that bleach corals.

For those taking advantage of the clear weather to go on hiking trips, don't forget to use DEET-free Skin Shield Lotion or Skin Shield Oil on arms and legs that keep mosquitoes and other insects away with citronella.

If summer means working out, biking, or playing other sports, it's extra challenging to cool down under the scorching summer heat. With heat stress, muscles also become prone to cramps. This is why it's important to load sports kit with a handy cooldown companion. Try Human Nature's Cooling Leg & Body Cream, which does not have pore-clogging, skin-damaging chemicals like mineral oils, or pair it with SLS/SLES-free Cooling Body Cleanser.

Embarking on a long-haul drive or flight? Keep hair healthy, well-moisturized, and frizz-free by packing the travel-friendly Human Nature Strengthening Shampoo Bar. It's also easier to tame and freshen up poofy hair with the brand's nourishing Natural Conditioning Hair Mist.
