Stay Fresh All Summer Long

Summer is here, and while the UK might not be basking in sunshine every day, your holiday destinations definitely will be. Whether you're on a beach in Bali or enjoying a road trip through the Mediterranean, staying fresh and hydrated is key. With this guide, we'll help you keep your cool, especially when it comes to skincare and grooming.

The Importance of Staying Hydrated

Hydration is crucial during the summer months. Not only does it keep you feeling fresh, but it also plays a significant role in maintaining healthy skin. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for at least eight glasses. Herbal teas and coconut water are also great alternatives that provide hydration and essential nutrients.

Energising Face Wash for a Fresh Start

Your morning routine sets the tone for the rest of the day. Our energising face wash can help wake you up and prepare your skin for the day ahead. Look for a product with natural ingredients that invigorate the skin, such as maize. It helps cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils, exfoliates dead skin cells, and promotes a healthy, glowing complexion, leaving you feeling refreshed.

Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise

Keeping your skin moisturised is essential throughout the entire year, but especially when you're out in the sun. An effective moisturiser hydrates your skin and acts as a barrier against environmental factors like UV rays and pollution.

For an all-in-one solution that offers both hydration and protection, try our Anytime Daily SPF 30 Moisturiser. Specially formulated for daily use, this lightweight moisturiser not only keeps your skin hydrated but also provides broad-spectrum protection against harmful UV rays. This step helps prevent premature ageing and reduces the risk of skin cancer. Make sure to reapply every two hours if you're outdoors, especially if you're swimming or sweating.

Beard Care for the Modern Man

A well-groomed beard can enhance your look, but it requires proper care. Use a beard shampoo and conditioner to keep your beard clean and soft. These products help remove dirt and excess oil that can accumulate, especially in the heat. Follow up with a beard oil or balm to keep your beard hydrated and styled.

Hair Care Essentials

Summer heat can be harsh on your hair, leading to dryness and damage. Use a styling salt spray to keep your hair in place without making it stiff or greasy. Depending on your style preference, different products can add volume and texture, making your hairstyle last all day. Look for the ones with natural ingredients that nourish your hair while providing hold.

Refreshing Summer Diet

What you eat plays a significant role in how fresh you feel. Incorporate plenty of fruits and vegetables into your diet to make sure you stay hydrated all day. Foods like watermelon, cucumber, and citrus fruits are not only hydrating but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants. These nutrients help to keep your skin healthy and radiant.

Stay Fresh with our Spray Deodorant

Staying fresh under the blazing sun involves finding the right deodorant. Our popular spray deodorant with bergamot and sandalwood is naturally propelled using nitrogen to deliver a light, cooling mist that leaves you feeling fresh and smelling incredible. The formula is dermatologically tested to ensure kindness to skin and, like all Bulldog products, is certified vegan.

Stay Active and Cool

Physical activity is important, but it's crucial to stay cool while doing so. Opt for early morning or late evening workouts when the temperatures are lower. Wear breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics to help keep sweat at bay. Don't forget to hydrate before, during, and after your workout to replenish lost fluids.

The Ultimate Shower Gel Experience

Start and end your day with a refreshing shower gel. Our ginger and patchouli shower gel invigorates your senses while cleansing your skin. Ginger helps to stimulate circulation, and patchouli offers anti-inflammatory benefits. This combination leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and ready to face the day.

Invest in a Good Quality Shampoo

Look for a shampoo that gently cleanses while providing moisture. Bulldog’s Original Shampoo is specially formulated using sustainably sourced chicory root, a natural ingredient high in inulin that protects the hair and scalp, leaving each feeling nourished and moisturised. This shampoo will leave your hair feeling clean and fresh, setting you up for that perfect hair day.

Dressing for the Heat

Choose the right clothing to stay comfortable in the heat. Opt for light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. These materials allow air to circulate, keeping you cool and reducing sweat. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses also provide additional protection from the sun.
