Explore top solutions for summer skin care, chosen from Herbacin’s Skin Solutions and Foot Care lines, and discover how they can restore and protect your skin from summer stressors no matter the adventure at herbacinusa.com.

Deep Cleansing for Radiant Skin

Summer heat makes oily, sweaty skin more common, leading to clogged pores and dullness. That’s why a gentle yet powerful exfoliation is crucial with a solution like Gentle Face Scrub, which is formulated with exfoliating jojoba wax particles to remove dead skin cells and cleanse deep into the pores. Infused with aloe vera, chamomile and marigold, this scrub eliminates impurities while promoting skin regeneration. Plus, it’s suitable for all skin types and is free from parabens and mineral oils. How to Use: Apply the scrub 1-2 times per week for instantly smoother, brighter skin.

Hydration That Lasts All Day

Hydration is key to maintaining healthy, youthful skin. Try Daily Skin Moisturizer that offers 24-hour hydration thanks to its hyaluronic acid-rich formula. Enhanced with inositol for elasticity and fucose biopolymer for moisture retention, it deeply nourishes your skin without leaving an oily residue. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and perfect relief for sun exposure or after a day outdoors. Pro Tip: Apply this lightweight moisturizer as the final step in your morning skin care routine for all-day skin hydration.

Packed with soothing aloe vera, chamomile, marigold, panthenol and bisabolol, this targeted treatment promotes skin healing while drying out blemishes and reducing irritation. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for tackling acne and preventing future breakouts. How to Use: Apply a small amount to blemishes several times a day until the irritation subsides.

Nourishment for Stressed and Rough Areas

Sun, saltwater and chlorine can cause specific areas of the body, like elbows and hands, to become rough and dehydrated. Designed to restore softness, this Special Care Cream improves skin elasticity in even the driest areas. Enriched with plant-based glycerin, allantoin and vitamin E, this cream provides intensive nourishment and protection without a greasy finish. Essential Tip: Apply regularly to areas prone to dryness for soft, smooth skin all summer.

Annoying Summer Pests

(Family Features) Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue or simply relaxing in your backyard, reducing outdoor pests can help ensure a more pleasant experience. Summer pests like mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they can carry dangerous diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus and dengue fever. Enjoy a bite-free summer with these tips to enjoy mosquito-free outdoor spaces. Identify Common Breeding Grounds Understanding where mosquitoes breed is the first step in controlling them. Common breeding grounds include stagnant water sources such as bird baths, clogged gutters, poorly maintained pools and more. Even small amounts of standing water in planters or yard toys can create a breeding area. Regularly inspect your yard for potential breeding sites and take action to eliminate or treat them. Keep Pests from Entering Your Home Long-term mosquito control requires ongoing effort and strategic planning. Installing screens on windows and doors can prevent pests from entering your home, and putting up mosquito traps or an automatic misting system can provide continuous protection by reducing mosquito populations over time. Naturally Repel Mosquitos in Outdoor Areas From using outdoor fans – mosquitoes are weak fliers and can be thrown off by airflow – to strategically placing torches, candles or diffusers including essential oils like citronella, there are plenty of ways to naturally reduce your chances of being bitten. In addition to citronella, eucalyptus and lavender can be used to repel mosquitoes and planting marigolds, basil and lemon balm around your entertaining space can also help. Hire Pest Control Professionals When natural methods are insufficient, chemical solutions can offer more robust mosquito control. Insecticides like permethrin and DEET can be applied to clothing and outdoor areas to kill mosquitoes on contact and repel them for extended periods. If DIY solutions aren’t cutting it either, many professional pest control services offer mosquito fogging or misting systems, which cover large areas (like your yard) and provide long-lasting protection.
