from poolside to classroom: transition your skin & hair care the non-toxic way

As August rolls on, the carefree days of summer start to give way to busy mornings, packed schedules, and back-to-school routines. Before we jump into the rush of a new season, our bodies — especially our skin and hair — could use a little extra care after weeks of sun, saltwater, chlorine, and heat.

If your skin feels dry, your hair seems dull, or you’re noticing more sensitivity than usual, you’re not alone. This time of year is perfect for a late summer reset, and the best part? You can do it gently and safely with effective non-toxic products that nourish and restore.

What Summer Leaves Behind

Long hours outside, frequent dips in the pool, and travel-friendly beauty shortcuts can take a toll:

  • Dry, frizzy, or brittle hair
  • Sun-damaged or uneven skin tone
  • Clogged pores or breakouts from sweat and sunscreen buildup
  • Overexposed skin that’s lost its glow

Your routine needs a shift — not just to repair summer wear and tear, but to prep your body for the season ahead, as well.

Why Go Non-Toxic?

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it absorbs much of what you put on it. That’s why it’s so important to avoid harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and synthetic preservatives — especially when your skin and hair are already stressed.

Pure Haven offers products that are:

  • Made with only non-toxic ingredients you can trust
  • Designed to work in harmony with your body’s natural processes
  • Safe for kids and adults alike

Late Summer Reset: Skin & Hair Edition

Here’s how to shift from poolside to classroom-ready — naturally.

1. Gently Cleanse and Rebalance Your Skin

Chlorine, sweat, and sunscreen can clog pores. Gentle cleansers purify without stripping away your skin’s natural oils and damaging its protective barrier. Try Pure Haven’s refresh cleanser with pre+probiotics or clear up cleanser.

Pro Tip: Follow with refresh toner or clear up toner to rejuvenate skin and tighten the appearance of pores.

2. Nourish and Soothe Sun-Exposed Skin

Ingredients like pomegranate extract, linden flower, calendula, vitamin e, and evening primrose oil bring a dull, dry complexion back to life. Pure Haven’s non-toxic formulas work with your skin to deeply hydrate and repair. Try Pure Haven’s refresh moisturizer with pre+probiotics, beauty booster, and hyaluronic acid.

3. Exfoliate to Reveal a Fresh Start

Exfoliation helps draw out impurities from sunscreen, sweat, and environmental buildup while giving your skin a clean slate for fall. Try Pure Haven’s resurfacing exfoliator or purifying charcoal detox mask with pre+probiotics up to three times a week.

4. Show Your Body Some Love

Don’t let body care fall behind! Smooth, hydrated skin starts with exfoliation and ends with deep moisture. Use an all-over scrub to gently buff away dry, flaky skin and then give it a luxurious moisture boost that leaves your skin soft, glowing, and ready for anything. Try Pure Haven’s lemon or pink grapefruit sugar body scrub and body butter with pre+probiotics.

5. Replenish Your Hair’s Strength & Shine

Excess sun and swim time can leave your hair dry and brittle. Use Pure Haven’s nourishing formulas to bring back shine and manageability without parabens, sulfates, or silicones. Try Pure Haven’s supergreens shampoo and deep conditioner or honey and fig shampoo and deep conditioning hair mask.

6. Prepare Your Kids for a Non-Toxic School Year

Don’t forget about the little ones! Pure Haven has safe, effective products for kids, too. Try Pure Haven’s variety of shampoos, body washes, deodorants, and even hands on the go (perfect for school backpacks!)
