According to the dermatologists, yes, we still need to keep our skincare routine during summertime to stay glowing and clear all season long. The main goals now, however, might be different from the other seasons. During the summer we need to prevent breakouts and sun damage; thus, our beauty regime should be well adapted to that.
🚩Here are nine essential tips from Luksha Cosmetics:
1. Use your toner more often than usual to keep your skin clean (apply it to the cotton pad and clean your face from sweat and dirt).
Example: Toner with Organic Rose Water, Organic Cranberry Extract, and Organic Aloe Leaf Juice: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/toner-with-organic-rose-w…
2. Always use your cleanser at the end of your day. The cleansing oil is preferable as it perfectly removes skin’s oil and dirt from your pores without any irritation and compromising your skin pH. Do it even if you don’t wear makeup.
Example: Cleansing Oil with Clove Stem Oil and Vitamin E: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/cleansing-oil-with-licori…
3. Good news! At morning you may skip your regular moisturizer. But applying a drop of of oil-free moisturizing serum before your sunscreen will be a good idea.
Examples:
- Intensive Hydrating Serum: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/ih-serum-with-hyaluronic-…
- Or Eco-Balance Prebiotic Serum: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/eco-balance-prebiotic-ser…
4. Always use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, especially if you outside from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
5. Improve your overall sun protection by using wide-brim hat.
Remember, the main factor of premature aging is photodamage.
6. To restore your skin at night use an intense but light weight moisturizer with anti-inflammatory activity. Examples:
- Cellular Cream: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/cellular-cream-with-plant…
- Or Probiotic Radiance Cream: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/eco-balance-probiotic-rad…
7. Ones a week, preferably in the evening, apply the intensive moisturizing mask to restore your skin and speed up healing.
Example: Moisturizing Cream-Mask: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/moisturizing-cream-with-h…
You will not need any following product after that. Just relax and enjoy your evening!
8. Ones a week use a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, clean your pores, and improve the skin texture.
Example: Fruit acids & ginger peeling essence: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/…/fruit-enzime-peeling-esse…
Please, void the scrubs! At summer time you need only gentle, not mechanical exfoliants.
9. If you like using facial oils instead of the moisturizers, you may consider to postpone it until the cooler days.
Or, if your skin is super dry, apply a tiny amout of your favourite oil only on the clean skin and only at the evening time.

Stay healthy and have a truly wonderful summer! ☀️
Solar ultra violet radiations (UVR) is divided into three categories of rays:
1. UVC (200-280 nm);
2. UVB (280-320 nm); and
3. UVA (320-400 nm).
UVC is the most biologically damaging radiation, but, fortunately, it is filtered out by the ozone layer.
So, here on Earth, we have mainly UVA and UVB radiation.
UVB sticks mainly in the upper layers of the epidermis and causes visible sunburn. This radiation accounts only for about 5% of UV radiation.
UVA penetrates deep into the skin and causes serious and longterm damages, its responsible for skin cancer; along with that, it doesn`t cause skin burns.
This radiation accounts for about 95% of UV radiation.
Many studies demonstrate that some botanical oils, such as shea butter, olive oil, or coconut oil, give very light protection and ONLY against UVB rays.
No botanicals provide sufficient and wide-spectrum UVR protection.

Recently we were asked about it quite often, so we decided to share some thoughts with you about this matter.
Let’s us to begin with the fact that the cosmetic products on our market are strictly regulated and manufactured using approved materials which are safe to humans. However, the questions about safety are still continued to be asked.
There are some possible reasons for that.
First one is a confusion caused by the huge volume of not scientific information available in the Internet. For a lot of people its not easy to figure out which sources are reliable and which are not. We would not recommend you to make your opinion about a particular product or material based on the online blogs or articles. Even if the text was written by a doctor or scientist, there are still a lot of uncertainties such as what kind this scientist is, what kind of resources she/he used, is there peer review available, and so on.
There are a variety of solid scientific resources you can rely on, many of them require the subscription, but some do not. For instance, Cosmetic Ingredient Review is a good one:
https://www.cir-safety.org/
Second. Almost any ingredient might be safe or unsafe depending on the variety of different factors such as its % in a product, pH of the formula, compatibility with other ingredients and so on.
For instance, Vitamin B3 (excellent healing and lightening ingredient) might be toxic to the skin if pH of the product is below 5.
Or, orange seed oil, generally nice and safe ingredient, might cause skin allergic reaction in case of sensitive condition or rosacea.
Third. The ingredient might be safe for a human skin, but harmful for the environment. For example, nowadays the majority of skincare companies don’t use the plastic spheres in their exfoliating products as it is harmful for the marine life.

Dear customers, we want to inform you that due to the current situation we have expanded our cleaning requirements and restricted the area of our facility from the public.
We are sufficiently trained and provided with all necessary sanitizing materials to keep our work environment clean and safe.
We appreciate the privilege to serve you!
Taking into account the severe shortage of hand sanitizers which are in critical need today, Luksha Cosmetics decided to use all its current stock of ethyl alcohol to produce this product for our Vancouver community.
To our deep regret, we can’t produce a large batch as we had never planned to manufacture hand sanitizers and we kept some very limited stock of Ethyl Alcohol only for our laboratory needs.
Our Hand Sanitizer is a high quality liquid product with 70% alcohol, which gives you a broad spectrum protection against 99.9% of viruses and bacteria.
Convenient pocket size, 60 ml, $6/bottle.
🔥 Caution: the product is flammable. Keep out of fire and children.
👩❤️👨 By this production we want to supply as much people as possible, so, please, order for yourselves no more than 2 pcs.
Please, note, that we don`t accept the group orders.
