Keeping your skin hydrated during the summer is important – and sometimes you just want to freshen up on a hot day. But skin hydration products should also nourish your skin without containing any harmful products. Here are four organic skin tonics to try, plus one you can make yourself.

1. Africology Skin Hydrating Oil

When your skin shows signs of redness or dryness, it can benefit from an intensive yet natural treatment. This hydrating oil contains soothing plant extracts such as chamomile, jasmine and aloe, to rejuvenate your skin while repairing it.

2. Argan Illuminizer

by Josie Maran

Sometimes we can all do with an extra gorgeous glow, right? This illuminating product helps to zap dark under-eye circles while accentuating your cheekbones. You can even use it to give you a bit of sun-kissed beauty, just perfect for those summer days. It nourishes and replenishes, making you shine.

3. Organic Rose Hydrosol

by Pure Skincare

During the process when pure rose essential oil is made, its steam is collected to make this product that refreshes your skin. It’s great for when you need a bit of hydration on the go. Plus, it’s free of ingredients such as alcohol that can dry out skin.

4. Day Beauty Facial Oil

by Just Pure

It’s great to find products that work double-duty, such as this face moisturiser that’s light and easily absorbs into skin to nourish it while also boosting its hydration. It works to prevent the loss of moisture, making your skin look youthful and healthy.

And now for the DIY skin tonic:

This recipe is really easy! If your skin is feeling a little irritated or dried out by the weather, get your hands on a cucumber, 2 drops of orange blossom essential oil (also known as neroli) and 3 tablespoons of purified water.

  1. Remove the peel and seeds from the cucumber and blend it with the water. You want the mixture to become thick. Strain it into a glass container.
  2. Add the orange blossom essential oil drops to the blend and mix it well.
  3. Store the container in the fridge for a few days to keep it cool and in easy reach whenever you need freshening up.
  4. To use it, apply a few teaspoons of it to your face with the use of a cotton pad.
