Beat the Heat: How to Cool, Soothe & Protect Your Skin This Summer
As temperatures rise this summer, so does the risk of sun damage, irritation, and redness — especially for sensitive or heat-reactive skin. The good news? With the right natural skincare routine, you can instantly cool, calm, and protect your skin while maintaining a healthy, fresh-faced glow. Here’s how to keep your complexion happy all season long.
Why Your Summer Skin Needs a Cooling Reset
Excess sun exposure, heat, and environmental stressors can strip your skin’s moisture barrier, leading to redness, inflammation, and dehydration. That’s where cooling, mineral-rich skincare comes in. At NENA, we harness the power of glacial mineral water — sustainably sourced from ancient Canadian ice fields — to deliver instant skin relief and hydration.
Clinically shown to reduce skin surface temperature by up to 3°C on contact, this mineral-infused water is rich in calcium, magnesium, and silica. These essential electrolytes help constrict pores, calm inflammation, and rebalance skin, making it the perfect first step in your summer skincare routine.
Step 1: Instantly Cool with Mineral Toner
Start with NENA’s Mineral Toner — a high-concentration toner made with pure glacial mineral water. Apply 3–4 pumps onto a cotton pad and gently sweep across your face and neck. This refreshing formula works immediately to lower skin temperature, soothe irritation, and replenish minerals lost through sun exposure and sweat. It also preps your skin for better absorption of your next skincare step.
NENA Mineral Toner is rich with 60+ minerals
Step 2: Shield Skin with NENA Mineral Sunscreen (EWG Verified)
Next, protect your skin with NENA’s Mineral Sunscreen. This lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide to safely block UVA and UVB rays while leaving a clean, natural finish without a white cast.
Even better? It’s EWG Verified™ — a certification awarded by the Environmental Working Group, one of North America’s most respected non-profit organizations for product safety.
What does EWG Verified™ mean?
It ensures that a product is free from ingredients of concern, meets strict health standards, and fully discloses all ingredients. It’s a trusted stamp of approval for consumers seeking clean, non-toxic skincare and sunscreens.
NENA’s Mineral Sunscreen and Toner have met these rigorous safety criteria, giving you confidence in what you’re applying to your skin and your family’s.
