☀️ Why Does Dry Skin Get Worse in Summer?

When we think of dry skin, most of us picture cold winters, indoor heaters, and low humidity. But here’s the truth many don’t expect:

Your skin can become just as dry—if not drier—in the summer.

And while you might be drinking more water or applying lightweight moisturizers, it often doesn’t help. Why?

Because hydration isn’t enough if your skin’s oil barrier isn’t doing its job.

💧 Hydration vs. Moisture: What’s the Difference?

- Hydration is water — from the inside (drinking water) or outside (water-based products).

- Moisture is oil — the layer that locks hydration into your skin and keeps it from evaporating.

In hot, dry climates (like Tucson!), or even when you're constantly in air-conditioned spaces, water evaporates faster from your skin, leaving it dehydrated.

So if you're applying water-based skincare without sealing it in, you’re essentially watering a plant with no pot — it all drains out.

☀️ Summer Skin Struggles You Might Notice

- Flaky or tight-feeling skin even after applying lotion

- Sudden sensitivity to products you’ve always used

- Oiliness in some areas, but dull or rough patches in others

- Increased breakouts due to imbalanced skin trying to self-correct

🧴 Why We Use Cranberry Seed Oil

At SunTree Skincare, we craft our Moisturizing Face Cream to support your natural barrier — especially during seasonal shifts.

One of our star ingredients is Cranberry Seed Oil, and here’s why we love it:

✅ Balanced Fatty Acids

Cranberry seed oil is unique: it has a perfect ratio of omega 3, 6, and 9, which means it supports a healthy skin barrier without clogging pores.

✅ Antioxidant-Rich

Loaded with vitamin E and polyphenols, it protects your skin from free radical damage caused by sun exposure and pollution.

✅ Light & Absorbing

It’s not greasy — it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin soft, not shiny.

🌿 The Bottom Line:

If your summer skin feels parched or fussy, your skincare might be missing the oil component that seals in hydration.

That’s why our Moisturizing Face Cream is more than just a lotion — it’s a blend of powerful hydrators + nourishing oils like cranberry seed, designed to:

- Soothe and protect

- Rebalance moisture

- Keep your glow all season long
