Summer's here, bringing with it sunny days, refreshing dips in the pool, and occasionally bouts of dry, sunburnt, or irritated skin. Plus, those pesky mosquitoes are out in force with all the rain we've been having lately. Don't let the fun in the sun undermine your skincare routine. 

Hot summer days can strip your skin of its natural oils. Unlike harsh commercial soaps that deprive your skin, Southern Natural's goat’s milk soap retains natural glycerin and oils that gently cleanse and hydrate at once. Goat’s milk is rich in vitamins A and B, along with minerals like calcium and potassium. Our bars have a luxuriously moisturizing lather that helps maintain your skin’s glow, even when the weather gets intense.

Choose Your Fragrances Wisely

Summer heat can heighten any sensitivities to fragrances. If this is a problem for you, choose unscented goat milk soap or stick with scents that aren't too heavy. Natural fragrances like peppermint or lavender can also offer aromatherapy benefits without becoming overpowering later in the day. In fact, certain essential oils can help you with another summer problem: insect pests. 

Essential Oil Scents That Deter Pests

Some of the best essential oils for your skin also are scents that mosquitoes can’t stand. When blended into our gentle goat’s milk base, they do double duty:

• Lavender and Lavender Vanilla: Calming, soothing, and naturally bug deterring.
• Lemongrass: Crisp and citrusy. Mosquitoes avoid it, but your skin loves it.
• Eucalyptus and Eucalyptus Grove: Invigorating and cooling, eucalyptus is also a powerful insect repellent.
• Tea Tree and Tea Tree Peppermint: Tea tree is known for its antimicrobial properties and insect-fighting power.
  

Layer on Goat Milk Products for Soft Summer Skin

Pair your favorite goat’s milk soap with our matching Goat Milk Lotion. The soap cleanses and fortifies, and the lotion seals in moisture. Our refreshing Goat Milk Bath Soak offers a luxurious way to soothe and restore moisture to your tired skin, leaving it feeling incredibly soft. All natural lip balm can also help protect your lips. Together, all of our skincare products restore nutrients and help prevent the dryness that comes with sun exposure and air conditioning.

Summer should be a time of fun in the sun, not a miserable battle with dry, uncomfortable skin. Our goat's milk products are here to help by nourishing, soothing, and protecting your skin's moisture barrier all season long.

Your skin deserves the gentle care of Southern Natural all year-round.
