Skin
Glowing, healthy, and protected skin to victory! These skin and body care products will help you look tanned, hydrated, and glowing to look and feel your best this summer while protecting yourself from harmful UV rays.
Body oil with SPF
Regarding Summer Beauty Tips and skin care, nothing is more significant than SPF. Defend yourself from the sun’s harmful rays (which can damage your skin) by wearing sunscreen with every exposure.
But if you think of thick, sticky white lotion when you think of SPF, think again! This luxurious body butter is packed with nutrients for your skin and provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection, so sunscreen feels more like luxurious self-care rather than a chore.
It’s formulated with hydrating oils like coconut and squalane to leave your skin with a dewy glow, sea moss to strengthen and protect the skin barrier, and a deep vanilla and amber scent without feeling greasy. It’s a win-win!
Self-Tanner
If you want to look like a tanned beach goddess without exposing yourself to harmful UV rays, self-tanning is the way to go.
This classic self-tanner is hypoallergenic, and the tinted mousse makes application easy. It has a quick-drying formula that turns into a natural tan in 4-8 hours and lasts up to 10 days. Golden brown is the best addition to a Summer Beauty Tips wardrobe full of crop tops and cut-outs!
Body Scrub
Even if you are not vacationing in St. Petersburg, Barts, this Summer Beauty Tips, you’ll feel like a Saint with you. Ouai’s Barts Scalp and Body Scrub smells like a beach holiday with dragonfruit, orange blossom, and tuberose notes.
This scrub is a two-in-one treatment that you can use on your body and scalp to reap various benefits, including removing product buildup from your scalp (a must if you have a lot of hair) and exfoliating your skin. With ingredients like coconut oil, this scrub will hydrate and nourish your skin.
If you plan to tan on your own, you should also use a body scrub before applying (and before shaving) to remove any dry or dull areas of skin that may make your tan look patchy. And later, when your self-tanner wears off and starts to fade, a body scrub will help remove it, leaving your skin fresh again.
Body Lotion
If you want your skin to be healthy, it needs to be hydrated! Particularly if you’re spending a lot of time in the sun, pool, and ocean this Summer Beauty Tips, your skin will need some extra help with hydration.
And while there are plenty of trendy body lotions and balms out there, you don’t have to break the bank to attain soft, smooth skin: The cult-favorite Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion costs under $6 and has thousands of reviews. It has gone viral on TikTok because it hydrates the skin and stretches it with a radiant, “filtered” look that makes users glow in photos and real life.
Glow Balm
I was captivated by this product the moment I saw Patrick Ta recently apply it to Alix Earle on TikTok, instantly making her look “tanned and glowy.”
Think of a radiant balm as an accessory for your skin, adding extra hydration and radiance for a glowing appearance and enhancing your tan. It is suitable for use before summer evenings to brighten your legs, shoulders, and décolleté for a dewy, mirror-like glow. You can also use this balm on your expression to highlight your cheekbones or lips.
Makeup
There are so many fun things to do during the summer that the last thing you want is a complicated and time-consuming makeup routine. Make it easy with lightweight, multi-tasking makeup products that will help you beat the temperature while staying put and protecting you from the sun.
SPF Lip Oil
Who doesn’t love glossy lip oil? A great summer beauty tip is to swap out your regular lip oil for one with SPF to protect your lips all summer while keeping them hydrated. This emollient, non-sticky formula contains vitamin C, E, and other antioxidants, leaving lips looking plump and protected.
Face Primer
Don’t want your makeup to look greasy or slippery when the temperature rises outside? Extend the longevity of your face foundation by applying a mattifying face primer before applying foundation or skin tint.
This waterproof primer absorbs excess sweat and oil and brightens skin, helping makeup stay in place all day, even when it’s hot outside.
Skin Tint
Instead of using a thick, full-coverage foundation, I suggest choosing a lighter skin tone with SPF in the summer.
This tinted mineral sunscreen foundation maintains your natural tone so your skin still looks the same (but better) and has SPF 30, so you don’t have to worry about blending it in a distinct step. With light to medium coverage, it won’t feel heavy or heavy on your skin.
Setting Spray
A good setting spray is another key to keeping your summer makeup in place. Through a location mist is one of my favorite summer beauty tips that does not ever fail.
E.L.F. Cosmetics Stay All Evening Micro-Fine Location Mist lasts up to 16 hours and has a micro-fine mist for even application. This setting spray refreshes your skin and contains cucumber, aloe, and green tea greenery extract to hydrate and soothe.
Oil-Absorbing Roller
If you’re prone to oiliness, stop the shine with an oil-absorbing roller made from natural volcanic stone.
Many of us tend to get greasy in hot weather, so now is the time to invest in a portable oil-absorbent roller—toss it in your bag to replace traditional blotter paper. It’s reusable, washable, and feels like a mini facial massage.
Waterproof Mascara
Essential mascara you can wear to the beach, the pool, or on a hot summer day without smudging? This is where waterproof mascara comes to the rescue. This waterproof mascara is perfect for summer and will make your lashes look long and complete, no matter the circumstances.
P.S. —Waterproof mascara is known to hold curls better than regular mascara, so if you’re a girl with straight lashes, try it (even if you don’t swim in the pool or ocean).
Hair
Our hair needs extra care during the summer to keep it hydrated and look its best in the humidity. These hair products are a summer must-have that will give you beach goddess hair—beach or no beach.
Hair Shield
We often overlook that our hair can be just as susceptible to damage from summer weather as our skin, so you need to protect it with hair products. This leave-in conditioner protects your hair from sun, salt, and chlorine damage with ingredients like aloe, avocado, and coconut (so it smells great, too). It must be summer!
Texturizing Spray
No hairstyle says summer like ocean waves. This effortless look can be attained by dipping in the ocean and drying your hair. Using a lightweight texturizing spray, you can achieve it without a trip to the beach (and damage your hair).
Try Verb’s Sea Spray to create effortless, relaxing waves that make you look like a beach babe, no matter your actual beach plans. It covers natural sea salt and is ideal for all hair types and odors, like a vacation in a bottle with coconut water and a mango scent.
Hair and Scalp Sunscreen
So you’re putting sunscreen on your face and body… but are you forgetting about your scalp? It also tends to burn like everything else, which is where this SPF 35 mineral powder comes in.
This product is similar to dry shampoo; it absorbs excess oil without damaging hair and has a U.V. defense. One of my favorite Summer Beauty Tips advice is to switch out your regular dry shampoo for a multi-use product during the summer. You can put it in your beach bag thanks to its compact size.
Anti-Frizz Treatment
If you’re like me, your hair gets curly when it’s hot and humid (and if it’s not, consider yourself lucky!). Stop frizz with TikTok’s viral anti-frizz treatment that locks in moisture and acts like a mini keratin treatment, giving you silky, “mirror-like” hair.
The key to using this creation is to use it in large quantities: thoroughly soak your dank hair and then blow dry it to see the best results.
