How to Build a Skincare Capsule Routine for Summer

Posted by Sarah Bacon on

Between holidays, social events, and travel, summer can be one of the busiest times of year. That’s why a capsule skincare routine — streamlined but effective — is the perfect way to keep your skin glowing without fuss.

Here’s how to pare back to the essentials.

Step 1: Cleanse Effectively

Start and end your day with a gentle cleanser that removes sunscreen, makeup, and impurities without stripping the skin.
👉 Velettà Cleansing Oil is ideal — it dissolves build-up while maintaining the skin’s natural barrier.

Step 2: Add an Antioxidant Boost

Antioxidants protect your skin from environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution. They’re especially important in the New Zealand summer.
👉 Velettà Bioactive Illuminating Serum delivers powerful botanical antioxidants to keep skin resilient and radiant.

Step 3: Hydrate and Nourish

A lightweight but effective moisturiser keeps skin supple and balanced, even in warmer weather. Choose one with natural oils to restore the barrier and lock in hydration.
👉 Velettà Nourishing Moisturiser, with avocado and argan oils, is perfect for summer simplicity.

Step 4: Target Where Needed

If you want to keep your routine simple but results-focused, add just one “booster” treatment to target your main concern.

  • For fine lines: Velettà Revitalise Eye Cream

  • For dullness: Velettà Youthful Glow AHA Radiance Treatment

  • For congestion: Velettà Purifying Mask once a week

Step 5: Protect Daily

The most important step in any capsule routine? Sunscreen. Apply it every morning, and your simplified routine will work harder for you.


Takeaway: A capsule skincare routine is about quality over quantity. With just a handful of carefully chosen products, you can enjoy healthy, glowing skin all summer long — and spend less time at the bathroom mirror, more time enjoying the season.
