SUMMER SKINCARE MUST-HAVES
I LIVE for the summer months you guys. I LOVE the heat so much, but that doesn’t mean our skin feels the same way 😜 Today, we are going to chat about products I will have with me 24/7 for the hot summer months!
First though, let’s chat about why the heat isn’t great for our skin. The obvious one is sthat the heat makes you more oily and prone to breakouts. The other big one is obviously the UV rays age and dehydrate your skin. Continued, prolonged exposure to UV rays leads to more leathery, wrinkled skin later on in life, so be sure to wear your SPF and reapply often. The hotter it is, the sweatier you are, so more bacteria, dirt and debris which leads to breakouts. Also, if you have eczema, rosacea or psoriasis, those are more likely to be triggered by the heat, so just be sure to keep up on your morning and evening skincare routines.
Now, let’s dive into my favorite summertime products that never leave my side.
Hyacyin Active Spray from Hydrinity. No joke, this will be in my purse 24/7. This hypochlorous acid kills bacteria and hydrates the skin all in 30 seconds. Honestly, it’s a must-have for summer because of all the sweating we do! It will kill the bacteria before it causes any issues on your skin.
Mizzi Lip Luze. Y’all truly don’t understand how amazing this lip gloss is. I’m the kinda gal that needs my lips hydrated and plumped at all times. It gives the best shine without being sticky or fake smelling or tasting. It has Vitamin E to nourish your lips and truly heal you up!
Skinbetter ToneSmart Compact SPF. Y’all this makes it so much easier to apply sunscreen. Just a little pat pat pat to reapply and done! It doesn’t move your makeup and comes in tinted and un-tinted versions. It blurs your pores and doesn’t feel greasy or oily.
Speaking of sunscreen, now’s the time to make sure you LATHER UP literally every day.
Having 5 or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma.
But, no matter how much SPF we lather on during the summer, everyone is bound to get a sunburn at some point, so, let’s go over my favorite sunburn necessities!
CBD Facial Mist by Glymed. This is great for calming and instant nourishment for your skin, which feels ah-mazing post-sunburn.
Hydracalm Mask from Face Reality. This is a thicker nourishing mask to put on after the CBD Mist or to sleep in!
Hydrinity Renewing Serum! This hydrator will give your dehydrated skin the quench of thirst it needs! The antioxidants and peptides will help to replenish and rebuild your skin. It is THE one stop shop serum for this summer.
Cleanser-wise it’s gonna have to be the Cleansing Gel by Skinbetter because after a day out in the sun, you are for sure going to want something ultra gentle on your skin.
If you’re out in the garden or playing sports aka sweating, you’ll need Oxygen Deep Pore Cleanser by Glymed as a second cleanser at night to get the dirt and debris off your skin to prevent blackheads.
Lastly on the summer must-have list is tinted sunscreen. Colorescience is the new makeup line at the spa which is also SPF and skincare! I am loving the Total Eye 3-1 SPF 35, along with their color balms for blush and bronzer! You all know Tizo 3 for a more matte finish, is a top fave of mine along with the Skinbetter ToneSmart sunscreen for a more dewy finish.
So there ya have it! My must-haves that will be on hand all summer long! While I love the summer heat, it doesn’t always love our skin, so be sure to take care of your skin, try not to skip your morning and evening routines!
