As the weather warms up + summer edges closer, your skin often needs a little more TLC.

More sun exposure, higher humidity, air conditioning, late nights + time outdoors can all affect how your skin looks + feels.

While Adashiko products are designed to support your skin all year round, lightweight, hydrating, + multi-tasking formulas become especially important in the warmer months. They help balance excess oil, replenish moisture lost to sun + heat. And keep skin calm, smooth, + radiant without feeling heavy.

Here are 7 essentials we recommend to keep your skin glowing + resilient through the summer season ahead.

1. Water ~ glow from the inside out

Your skin health starts with hydration. Every cell in your body needs water to function, + your skin is no exception. Staying hydrated helps maintain elasticity, flush out toxins, + keep your complexion looking plump + radiant.

But if plain water feels a little repetitive, switch things up with a refreshing option that still delivers the hydration your skin craves. One of our favourites? A simple Watermelon Cooler ~ the perfect mix of hydration + antioxidants.

Watermelon Cooler (serves 2)

3 cups cubed watermelon
1 cup CocoFuel Coconut Water
1 lime (zest + juice)
Handful of fresh mint
2 Tbsp of your preferred Adashiko Collagen Powder
Ice cubes

Place all ingredients in a blender + blend to a smooth consistency, then strain. Pour into glasses + enjoy a skin-loving sip that’s as nourishing as it is refreshing.

2. Polishing Exfoliant ~ smooth away dullness

Exfoliation is one of the quickest ways to refresh tired skin, especially in summer when sweat, sunscreen + environmental build-up can clog pores more easily. By gently lifting away dead skin cells 1–3 times a week, you help prevent congestion, keep your complexion clear + allow your skincare to absorb more effectively.

Our Polishing Exfoliant uses ultra-fine bamboo powder to buff without irritation, leaving skin smooth, bright, + prepped for the rest of your skincare ritual. Regular exfoliation not only boosts cell turnover but also helps maintain that healthy summer glow.

3. Collagen Ceramide+ Body Serum ~ skin hydration that lasts

Post-sun, post-swim, post-shower ~ this body serum is a summer skin saviour. With Marine Collagen, Triple Ceramides, Hyaluronate Sodium, Vitamin E + Shea Butter, it locks in 72-hour hydration, restores suppleness, + brightens sun-exposed skin.

Lightweight, fast-absorbing, + perfect for bare-skin summer days.

4. Collagen Balm ~ multipurpose must-have

Keep this skin-soothing super balm close at hand (or in your beach bag). Enriched with Collagen, Hydrolysed Silk, Avocado Oil + Beeswax, it hydrates + protects lips, cuticles, dry patches, + even soothes sunburn or windburn.

A true summer multitasker.

5. Collagen + Noni Gel ~ calm + refresh

Lightweight + hydrating, this 5-in-1 gel is a summer skincare staple. It reduces redness, hydrates deeply, calms irritation, + improves skin texture ~ making it the perfect choice after sun exposure. Its soothing Noni Extract + hydrating Hyaluronate Sodium leaves skin plump, cool + balanced.

6. Collagen Gel Cloth Masques ~ instant radiance

For nights out, pre-summer-weddings, a quick skin reset ~ or to soothe your skin after a sun-soaked day at the beach ~ these summer skincare essentials deliver a big hit of hydration + visible glow in as little as 10 minutes.

Keep them in the fridge for an extra-refreshing boost, especially on hot days. Infused with Pure Peptide Marine Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, CoQ10, + Aloe + Licorice Extracts, they calm, plump, + leave your skin looking instantly refreshed.

7. SPF ~ it’s a non-negotiable

Some might call SPF a summer essential ~ we call it an everyday essential. UV rays are present year-round, so daily sunscreen is a must.

When choosing an SPF, look for a brand that:
✔ Meets the new SPF testing + labelling standards for proven protection
✔ Is broad-spectrum (UVA + UVB protection)
✔ Is SPF 30 or higher ~ with SPF 50+ offering the strongest daily defence
✔ Feels lightweight + comfortable enough for everyday use

Apply your SPF as the last step of your morning skincare routine + reapply as directed by your chosen brand’s instructions ~ especially when you’re outdoors, sweating, or swimming.

Summer skin thrives on the right care.

With lightweight, hydrating, + multi-tasking essentials, you can keep your complexion calm, smooth, + glowing through every beach day, BBQ, + balmy night.
