Time to fire up the barbecue, its summer time!

Are you all ready for warmer and sunnier days ahead? We sure are! While we have the best time with our friends and families, be it having a scrumptious home cooked meal, barbecue, or any get-together, some spring skin pampering is truly essential for the brighter weather.

Here are some of the reasons why and how we could take care of our skin in these coming season:

1. Removes Smoke and Odors: The smoke and fumes generated during a BBQ can cling to your skin and hair, leaving behind unpleasant odors. Cleansing not helps remove these odors and leaving you feeling and smelling fresher, it also helps removes dust and perspiration, preventing clogged up pores. Our Botany Native Flora Range covers all your needs for a clean, relaxing bath!
2. Removes Residue: BBQs often involve grilling, which can release grease, oils, and food particles into the air. Some of this residue can settle on your skin and hair, making them feel greasy and dirty. Botany Native Flora Hand and Body Wash, Lotion, Shampoo and Conditioner are the perfect quartet for a good, clean and relaxing shower.
3. Prevents Clogged Pores: If you spend time near the grill, smoke and heat can cause sweat and oil production to increase. Even if you’re not cooking, these factors, combined with any makeup or skincare products you may have applied, can lead to clogged pores and breakouts if not properly cleansed. It is therefore important to wash your face with a facial wash like, Botany Native Flora Cleanser, and use our Silk and Smooth Exfoliant to gently exfoliate your face
4. Maintains Skin Health: Regular cleansing is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. After exposure to the heat and smoke of a BBQ, it’s important to cleanse to prevent skin issues like irritation, dryness, or exacerbation of existing skin conditions.
5. Hair Care: BBQ smoke can leave hair smelling smoky and can make it feel dirty and oily. Cleansing your hair removes these odors and restores freshness.

Here are some tips for cleansing your face and hair after a BBQ:

For the Face:

1. Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any sweat, oil, and BBQ residue. Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils.
2. Consider using a cleanser that is suitable for your skin type.
3. After cleansing, apply a moisturiser to hydrate your skin, especially if it feels dry or irritated.
4. If you wore makeup, make sure to use a makeup remover or cleansing oil to thoroughly remove all makeup before cleansing.

For the Hair:

1. Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any smoke particles, dirt and sweat.
2. Use Shampoo to cleanse your hair and scalp. Massage it in gently to ensure all residues are removed.
3. Use Conditioner to restore moisture to your hair, especially if it feels dry or brittle.

By cleansing your face and hair after a BBQ, you can enjoy the delicious food and outdoor festivities without worrying about lingering odors or potential skin and hair issues. Proper cleansing is an essential part of post-BBQ self-care.
