SUMMER
a time of abundance, celebration, and gratitude.
pitta season
Summer is Pitta season, marked by heat, intensity, and sharpness in both the environment and the body. During this time, it’s supportive to favor foods and practices that are cooling, hydrating, and calming to the nervous system. Choose meals that are refreshing and less spicy, stay well hydrated, and build in moments of rest to soften excess heat and intensity.
Rituals & Lifestyle
Cooling morning ritual: quiet breathing, meditation, or gentle stretching
Abhyanga (self-massage): cooling oils like coconut or sunflower, especially in the evening
Pacing: avoid over-scheduling and intense midday activity
Movement: swimming, evening walks, gentle yoga rather than heated practices
Rest: prioritize downtime and time in nature to cool the nervous system
Skin Care Tips
Use gentle, non-stripping cleansers
Incorporate soothing botanicals (rose, aloe, calendula)
Avoid over-exfoliation or aggressive treatments
Protect skin from sun exposure with mineral SPF and physical barriers (hats, shade)
Soothe inflammation with cooling masks or compresses

This gel serum feels ultra-light but gives skin a serious boost in hydration thanks to two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid (famed for holding 1000x its weight in water). Even better, the hyaluronic acid is suspended in a base of soothing, moisturizing aloe. Lavender soothes skin and instantly relaxes the senses for an aromatherapeutic experience.
