S U M M E R is nearly here and I’m already thinking of ways to switch up my beauty routine. With the change in seasons comes not only a change in weather, but a change in mood – and your beauty routine needs to reflect that! From pool & beach days, to vacations, or just beating the heat… here are my picks for summer beauty this year.
My ideal summer beauty look includes beachy waves and brighter colors. My hair doesn’t wave easily, so I enlist the help of hot tools to get mermaid waves. The Hot Tools Deep Waver is so much less maintenance than a curling wand. Clamp your hair a few times and you’re good! I love a bit of gloss in the summer, and NOTE Cosmetics Hydra Color Lip Gloss gives you both color and shine. The juicy peach shade is the perfect summer bright without being too in your face. Something that’s a little more in your face but in a good way, is the Stila Glitter & Glow Highlighter in Monarch. I love their eyeshadow formula so I thought it was so fun that they came out with highlighter versions that are perfect for festival season.
When hitting the pool and beach so much, your hair tends to get more and more tangly. The Goody TangleFix is the perfect poolside companion that fits in your beach bag!
Don’t forget about your skin! Sun care is crucial and even more important in the summer. If you hate the heavy feeling of sunscreens, check out the La Roche Posay Anthelios Serum and COOLA Makeup Setting Spray, which are both super lightweight feeling. Since your skin may be a bit oilier in the summer, switching to a lighter moisturizer like Algenist’s SPLASH line, the moisturizer is a nice gel texture that feels amazing on the skin- especially if you accidentally get sunburned. I always love a good face mist, but I just tried Jurlique’s Balancing Mist Intense and it’s amazing. I love the rose scent, it makes your skin feel so fresh! Of course, I never forget to mask, and with all of the sweating that comes with summer, I feel like I break out a little more. What better to fix than a mud mask? The Alba Hawaiian Detox Warming Mud Mask is like a vacation in a bottle! I love the warming sensation that it has.
