How to boost your skins barrier; Heatwave Edition

This English summer has been glorious. At Love to b we are aware many of you wanting help with dry skin through this continuous heatwave. Whether you've been enjoying holidays, weekends in the garden or simply soaking up every ray of sunshine, now is the time to give your skin a little TLC.

Summer skin rescue, we have the answer!

How to boost your skins barrier; Heatwave Edition | Love to b Blog | Skincare Benefits | Sunflower Oil

We have always believed nature has the answer when it comes to living naturally. We choose to formulate with plant-based oils as they can be effective and truly deliver all your skin needs.

The beautiful, humble sunflower has nutrients that make it an unsung hero, simple, widely available and packed with incredible benefits for sensitive or irritated skin.

Let me share with you why we love Sunflower oil so much….

Did you know:

  • Sunflower oil is rich in Vitamin E an antioxidant
  • It’s high in fatty acids and helps protect the skin barrier
  • It fights premature aging naturally.
  • It's high in Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid strengthens the skin barrier

You will find Sunflower seed oil (helianthus annuus) in our luxurious creams -Highly moisturising, thick (a little goes a long way) and beautifully scented with pure essential oils.

Restore Cream | Coldwater Swimming | Health Benefits | Love to b Skincare

For many of us, the return of cold-water swimming is a welcome part of the season. Renowned for boosting the immune system, reducing stress and supporting our wellbeing, it can also leave skin feeling dry and exposed to the elements. After your swim, replenish your skin with our nourishing Bath & Body Oil, made with natural oils, it restores moisture and leaves skin feeling soft and cared for.

For Summer 2026 we suggest you create your very own home-spa, you don’t need a luxury hotel!

Create your own home spa | Love to be skincare 

Simply:

  • Run a warm / cool bath – add a dash of Love to b ‘Meditate’ Bath & Body oil – spa-scented with Cedarwood, Lemongrass, Rosemary and Eucalyptus essential oils
  • Light a candle – choose depending on your desired mood!
  • Wash with your favourite essential oil soap or Wash
  • Relax for 20 minutes with some deep breathing to maximise the benefit of the essential oils.
  • Pat yourself dry and apply either our Sunflower rich Lotion or cream

"Sometimes a little ‘me time’ is all your mind needs"
