Beauty products that will be essential to your summer routine

To get an even tan, it’s important to get your skin ready the right way. And we’re not talking just about sunscreen, but rather a body exfoliant that first removes impurities and dead cells. The Ginger Body Scrub formula by Origins ($44.34) with Dead Sea salt and ginger zest mixed with macadamia, soybean, kukui nut and sweet almond oils will eliminate roughness, leaving your skin ready to sunbathe.

One of the sunscreens that covers imperfections with an extra natural finish is Fusion Water Color SPF 50 by Isdin ($22.64). With its hint of color, you’ll be sure to protect your skin and smooth out your complexion at the same time.

If you want to create a natural makeup look, wear the Dreamy Nude Pink Glossy Lipstick by Charlotte Tilbury ($27). In the brand’s words, it is an “innovative texture that glides on with a creamy feel.”

Why should you use bronzer in the summer? You’ll need this cosmetic product this season because if you’re already tan, it’ll make your tan glow even more, and if you haven’t been able to take in any sun, you’ll leave behind any trace of pale skin, giving your face a healthy glow. Hoola Caramel by Benefit ($41.04) is an excellent choice that is available in four matte-finish shades.

You’ll need a well-balanced palette like the Terracotta Contour & Glow ($72.24) by Guerlain for your summer look. It acts as a contour, bronzer, blush, and highlighter to illuminate your face.

Bobbi Brown’s Waterproof No Smudge Mascara ($30.56) promises to define and lengthen eyelashes without leaving smudges. Its waterproof formula is perfect for the summer heat when all you can think about is going to the beach or pool.

Hot summer days can take a toll on your makeup. That’s why you need a setting spray in your summer kit. The Prep+Prime spray by MAC ($21.61) gently cools and refreshes skin with a light mist of water and a mix of green tea, chamomile, and cucumber, in addition to setting makeup.

Now is when your skin needs to be moisturized the most, and a great way to do it is with a product like the Lait de Beauté Herbae by L‘OCCITANE. ($26.19), which gives skin the hydration it needs, leaving it smooth and healthy thanks to its shea butter-enriched formula.

Hair needs special care when exposed to stressors like sunlight, sea salt, and chlorine from pools, which means that a repairing leave-in treatment is a must. Damage Remedy by Aveda ($38.98) protects hair from breakage and heat styling with a hair dryer or flat iron, repairing and strengthening it.

Skin Defense Multi-Protection Face Mist by The Body Shop ($21.56) is a light facial spray with SPF30 that is enriched with red algae extract and vitamin C. It protects skin from UVA and UVB rays and pollution while brightening skin. You can spray it on your face even if you wear makeup all day long.

This dry oil will smooth your skin and hair. The Ritual of Ayurveda Dry Oil Vata by Rituals ($15.60) is made up of nourishing herbs in accordance with Ayurvedic tradition, especially for massage or abhyanga.

Yes, once again, the heat is something to keep in mind during this time of year when skin needs to stay hydrated. That’s why Benton’s Tea Tree Mist ($30.56) is an essential piece: a facial mist with a high tea tree water content that will give your skin the moisture it needs this season. This is one of those products you’ll need to carry in your purse as it minimizes the size of pores, reduces excessively greasy skin, and mattifies skin’s overall appearance. It is fast absorbing, meaning you can even put it on over your makeup.
