Keep Your Skin Hydrated This Summer + Farmacy Skin Dew Review & Giveaway
Tips to keep your skin hydrated this summer
Below are some of the tips that I use to keep my skin hydrated in the summer. Let me know what other tips you have.
Drink Water
You hear this often, but drinking plenty of water is crucial to keeping your skin hydrated. I keep a reusable bottle on my desk and refill it multiple times throughout the day.
*Fun tip: If you are drinking a lot of water during the day, it can get boring fast. Try adding some yummy fruits to your water for a fun and nice change.
Eat fruits that contains a lot of water
Another way to keep your skin hydrated is by eating fruits that contain a lot of water. Two of my favorite fruits are watermelons and grapefruits. Did you know that grapefruits contain 91% of water? I love eating grapefruits, but I’m not a big fan of grapefruit juice (go figure!). Watermelon and strawberries also contain a lot of water.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating is a great way to get rid of those dead winter skin. I try to remember to exfoliate at least 2-3 days a week. It helps remove all the dead cells and leaves my face feeling smooth. If you want to exfoliate more often, you can choose a product such as the gentle exfoliating grains New Day (also by the brand FARMACY). You can also get a gentle scrub for your whole body. I just love that squeaky clean feeling you get after exfoliating.
Moisturize
After exfoliating, it is best to moisturize your skin. My skin had it rough this winter. So I have to be extra nice to it. You can moisturize with your favorite body oils and lotions.
Use a hydrating essence mist & setting spray
Using a hydrating essence mist and setting spray is a quick and easy way to hydrate your skin in the summer.
About Farmacy Skin Dew
You might remember a review I did on the New Day gentle exfoliating grains a few months back. This time, I got to review their new facial mist. It works both as a hydrating essence mist and as a setting spray for all you makeup wearers. The Skin Dew contains farm fresh ingredients. There’s no artificial coloring which is great. The Farmacy Skin Dew mist is available at Sephora.
How to use:

My Review
The mist is refreshing and has a very pleasing scent. I’ve used it plenty of time since receiving it, and I love it. I find that it made my face soft. There’s no sticky feeling which is great because no one wants to have a sticky face in the hot summer sun. I’m trying figure out how to describe the smell of this mist, but I’m drawing a blank! Just like the New Day exfoliating grains, the Skin Dew Mist is powered made with Echinacea GreenEnvy™

I try to drink a lot of water during the summer but juice is so yummy! Great tip about adding the fruit to the drink I’ll try.
Juice is yummy! I have to fight the urge to drink it everyday lol Fruits in water is so good!
Farmacy sounds like a great line of products. Summer can be just as hard on your skin as the winter months, and I’ve been looking for a new product to help keep my skin looking good.
I have used this for a while now and I adore it! It’s so great! Summer is super hard on my skin, but not as much as this pregnancy has been!
I can imagine! I had all kinds of skin issues when I was pregnant with my daughter! You are almost there! =)
I like your ideas! I really need to start exfoliating more often. That Skin Dew would be nice to try too.
I remember when I was pregnant in the summer. All I wanted to eat was fruit for the water in it.

These products look amazing, I love exfoliating often
I basically live on grapefruit in the summer. And I don’t know why I seem to relegate it to the summer when it is available all year long.

Keeping your skin hydrated during the summer is important, that’s why I always make sure to put on moisturizer before I leave the house and I also take one with me in my bag. I think this is a nice product, perfect for the summer heat!
My skin dries out badly in the summer, so that skin dew sounds perfect for me. I must try it.
These are some great sounding tips and what some awesome sounding items – I totally need to try and check them out myself! x

Water is the biggest factor to stay hydrated this summer. I like eating lots of fruits too because they are refreshing during summer.
I recently started using a hydrating mist and setting spray and I love what a difference it makes. It’ so refreshing and I love that it sets my makeup as well.

These are all great ways to keep your skin hydrated! Thanks for sharing these tips, it’s so important to hydrate your skin all year round but especially in the Summer months.

I use a light moisturizer in the summer. I also have a spray that I can use that hydrates when I’m out in the sun. Mostly just water, water, water. (The link to the instagram doesn’t seem to work.)

Water works well for me, it helps me a lot. Especially during summer where the heat is so exhausting.
I have never taken good care of my skin. Now I look my age, ugh, and my SIL who has always taken care of her skin, does not. Good skin care pays off in the long run. 🙂
Watermelon is my best friend fruit every summer 🙂
The whole drinking water thing is really nice. I do it now to ensure that I am always hydrated.
I’m all about keeping my skin hydrated during the summer. I think the sun and heat really dries it out.
This is such a great giveaway! I stay hydrated over the summer with lots of ice cold water and by using facial mists.
I’ve been seeing a lot about Farmacy recently. Their products sound amazing. I need to check them out.
I’m all for anything skin care. This is the first time that I am hearing about Farmacy, because the Farmacy that I know here in my country is a restaurant & bar, lol. I would try this though. When I hit my 30s, I vowed to take extra care of my skin – drinking water is super important. I saw the difference of making it a habit … yup, I used to not drink a lot of water.

I keep my skin hydrated by drinking a lot of water and using moisturizers. Farmacy looks and sounds AMAZING, especially the setting spray.
I drink lots of water.
i wear sunscreen with moisturizer every day
Looks like a neat set of products! I’ve been looking for a good setting spray, actually.
I usually drink a lot of water no matter if it is summer or not. And both me & my husband are crazy lovers of watermelon & we take them in huge amount during summer as that is the best way to keep yourself hydrated during a worse summer.
This sounds like a great skincare line and I’d love to try it. I use exfoliate products and moisturizer every single day.

I have been taking care of my skin since I was littler and I would love to try this one
I love Farmacy! I can’t wait to try some more of their products!
Sounds and looks like great products. Hydrated skin is definitely a must. I’m a fruit fanatic lol so always rocking that everyday.
Awesome products to bring with on the beach! As for me, I always bring a bottle of water or Pocari to keep myself hydrated.
I use coconut oil to moisturize my skin. I also love to add it to my bath.
I try to make sure I drink plenty of water, and wear proper clothing, hat..

I drink lots of water and use a gentle moisturizing cream. I try to avoid soap all year long and use a non soap cleanser
I use moisturizing sunscreen to keep my skin hydrated.
