As summer arrives with long, sunlit days and drying winds, your skin may start to quietly signal imbalance. Tightness, dullness, and sensitivity often reflect deeper dehydration beneath the surface. Here’s how to recognise the signs — and what your skin is really asking for.

In our first edition of Common Ground, we speak with Sian, co-founder of Pleasant State, about her evolving relationship with self-care, the influence of nature and motherhood on her daily rituals, and the values that shape her approach to conscious living. This thoughtful conversation explores the simplicity, intention, and clarity behind her routines — including the SIHA products she’s been loving.

Spring is a season of renewal, but it can also leave skin sensitive and unbalanced. At SIHA, we see this as the perfect time to replenish hydration, strengthen the barrier, and nurture the skin microbiome—your invisible shield—so skin can thrive with the season’s shift.

At SIHA, we choose to leave out additives that compromise skin health—fragrance, silicones, sulfates and more. Instead, our philosophy favours ingredients that mirror the skin’s own natural structures, strengthening the barrier and supporting long-term resilience.
