End-of-Summer Skin Recovery: How to Repair and Refresh Your Skin Naturally

Summer is winding down, but your skin might still be showing signs of all that fun in the sun — dryness, redness, breakouts, or a dull, uneven tone. Even if you were diligent with sunscreen, your skin barrier may still need some extra love and recovery before fall sets in.

Now is the perfect time to press the reset button with a targeted end-of-summer skincare routine that restores hydration, calms irritation, and strengthens your skin barrier — naturally.

At Vivoderm Natural Skincare, we believe in repairing and protecting your skin with herbal, vitamin-rich, and soothing ingredients — never harsh chemicals or fillers. Here’s how to get your glow back, naturally.

1. Rehydrate Your Skin Deeply

Vivoderm Intense Moisturizer 2 for mature or dry skin

Why it matters:
Prolonged sun exposure, chlorine from pools, and even air conditioning can all strip your skin of essential moisture. Without proper hydration, your skin barrier weakens, leading to flakiness, fine lines, and a dull appearance.

Your solution:
Our Intense Moisturizer delivers deep, nourishing hydration with a lightweight, non-greasy formula. Packed with aloe vera, vitamin E, and botanical extracts, it soothes and replenishes dry, stressed skin while helping to restore your natural glow.

Tip: Apply to damp skin right after cleansing to lock in extra moisture.

2. Repair and Protect the Delicate Eye Area

Why it matters:
The skin around your eyes is thinner and more vulnerable to environmental stressors like sun, wind, and salt water. After a season outdoors, you may notice puffiness, fine lines, or dryness around this delicate area.

Your solution:
Our Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream is infused with natural oils, herbs, and vitamins that target signs of aging while deeply hydrating. This rich yet gentle formula smooths and revitalizes tired eyes — perfect for morning and nighttime use.

3. Soothe and Calm Redness

Why it matters:
Even with sunscreen, your skin may still be feeling the effects of sun and heat exposure — think lingering redness, sensitivity, or irritation. Calming your skin helps speed up recovery and prevents long-term damage.

Your solution:
Our Zinc Repairing Facial Cream combines zinc oxide for natural protection with chamomile and comfrey to soothe inflammation and irritation. It’s perfect for calming stressed skin and even works well for acne-prone or sensitive skin types.

4. Transition Your Routine for Fall

Why it matters:
As the weather cools and humidity drops, your skin’s needs change. Preparing your skin now helps prevent seasonal dryness and keeps your glow intact well into fall.

Simple adjustments:

  • Swap lightweight lotions for richer creams to keep moisture in.

  • Keep gentle cleansing to avoid stripping your barrier.

  • Continue using daily SPF — yes, even in cooler months!

Your Post-Summer Skincare Reset

Your skin deserves the same love you gave your summer adventures. With a few small adjustments and the right products, you can restore balance, calm irritation, and keep your glow strong into the new season.

Overexposure to the Sun and Wrinkles

Written by Author on . Posted in Sun Protection

The old saying “youth is wasted on the young,” has a good foundation. Not until we are much older, do we realize the gravity of our choices when we are young. This goes for skin care as well. Young people often undermine the importance of a good skincare regimen. Proof of that are the numerous swarms of teens tanning on the beaches and by the pool or skipping sunscreen altogether when they engage in outdoor activities.  Little did they know that wrinkled, loose skin will be their ultimate problem when they get older.

One of the major causes of loose, wrinkled skin is overexposure to the sun. The sun’s UV rays are harmful to the functions of our skin. It impedes our production of collagen and elastin thereby increasing our risk of developing wrinkles and saggy skin.

The effects of the sun do not stop there. You are also at risk of developing brown age spots and even skin cancer. Start reversing the damage by slapping on moisturizer with a high SPF level when you go outdoors. You should collect cosmetics and beauty products that contain a safe, natural SPF to make sure you are fully protected. Zinc Oxide is a great natural alternative to chemical-based sunscreens – providing a natural sun-reflector instead of a chemical ‘block’ that can be absorbed into the skin.

As for tightening loose skin, you have to choose a product that contains ingredients effective in bringing about a healthier level of collagen and elastin as these are the two components commonly lost when there is a loosening of skin.

Look for natural skin care treatments that contain only herbal, natural ingredients, like Aloe vera – to reduce sun damage and help heal skin or Chamomile – to reduce inflammation. Always use key ingredients that can heal your skin and help improve its production of healthy collagen and elastin. Using natural sun protection or a zinc-based moisturizer is your ally in firming up loose skin and warding off the development of wrinkles.

Women at the age of 35 should also protect their hyaluronic acid content as this is the age that we lose hyaluronic acid rapidly. It is imperative to safeguard hyaluronic acid because this promotes a healthier and younger-looking skin.

Make sure what you are using also contains beneficial essential oils like grape seed oil and avocado oil. Grape seed oil, apart from promoting skin elasticity, also contains antioxidants that can kill harmful free radicals. Avocado oil, on the other hand, is replete with all the necessary vitamins and minerals that can improve the immune functions of our skin.

Take all these in consideration and make sure you choose a facial cream carefully. After all, time here is of the essence.

And for clearer, younger looking skin, your anti aging skin care range of products should contain more natural active ingredients than any other “drug-store” brand, so be sure to read those labels carefully. Those ingredients like Aloe Vera, Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, and Shea Butter are effective moisturizers, because they penetrate deeply to “nourish” the skin. So, they never feel greasy and come from natural sources less likely to cause allergic reactions.

Also be aware to shop for natural products that report no negative or adverse effects. Skin care prodcuts that are hypo-allergenic, fragrance free and can be used on any skin-type are best.
