Summer Skincare is More Than Sunscreen

Summer is here! And that means longer days in the sun, pool time, water sports, and mosquitoes. Lots of mosquitoes. Here are some ways Mil Usos can complement your favorite summer activities:

1. Biodegradable Cleanser for Campers: If you celebrate summer by sleeping in a tent, then you won't want to be without our Char Goals Cleansing Bar. Char Goals can be used to cleanse in rivers and streams, where it will not damage plant and animal life. It fully degrades, so there is no accumulated damage caused to the environment. And if you accidentally lose the bar during your trip, there's no plastic pollution left behind.

2. Soothing Any-Irritation Balm: Bug bites and sunburn are two itchy hallmarks of summer. Our Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm works wonders to immediately calm redness, pain, and itching anywhere you need it. It especially helps to soothe sunburns, so they heal faster while minimizing pain and peeling.

3. Zero Ingrown Hairs: Bikini lines have a new best friend: Scuff Love Exfoliating Glove. Exfoliating away the top layer of skin unclogs pores and clears the path for body hair to grow without obstruction. It also removes flaky skin that might be dried out from surfing, swimming, or other water sports. Use the glove once or twice a week for best results.

4. Fragrance-Free Anti-Bug Everything: Mosquitoes and other bugs are attracted to artificial fragrances, and while natural essential oils may repel mosquitoes, essential oils are far too strong to use in daily skincare. All of our products are fragrance-free so they won't attract any wildlife - including bugs! Save the essential oils for candles and diffusers and keep your skin fragrance-free!

Other tips: Experiment with using rash guards, lightweight long-sleeved button up shirts, hats, and other clothing to avoid sunburn instead of relying only on sunscreen to protect your skin. And be sure to stay hydrated with electrolytes. Happy summer!
