Gearing up for some (limited) fun under the sun calls for effective skin care products. After all, summer is the best time to go au naturel or embrace a no-makeup makeup look. There are certain summer skin care must-haves you need before you can go about your seasonal business. Here are the top skin care products to stock up on now before summer arrives.
Summer’s 7 Must-Have Skincare Products To Try
-
A Hydrating Facial Cleanser
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser, $24 at Sephora
Philosophy's cleanser is made with essential oils to deep clean pores and condition your skin.
-
A Vitamin C Serum
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, $166 at DermStore
The gold standard of vitamin C serums, this pick neutralizes free radicals caused by UVA/UVB rays, infrared radiation and even ozone pollution. Plus, it brightens as it works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Work it in between your cleanser and moisturizer.
-
A Soothing Spray
Avène Thermal Spring Water, $18.50 at DermStore
This iconic spray hydrates your face while calming, soothing and softening your skin. It’s a great pick-me-up after a long, sweaty day. Plus, it helps freshen up makeup.
-
A BB Cream
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $33 at Ulta Beauty
Since foundation isn’t really appropriate once temps start climbing, a BB cream is a great alternative. We love this tinted gel because it not only camouflages, it also hydrates and offers SPF protection. Oh, and the shade range is pretty stellar.
-
A Body Scrub
Susanne Kaufmann Body Scrub, $76 at Bloomingdale’s
Don’t forget about the rest of your skin. This invigorating scrub removes dead skin all over your body courtesy of fine sea sand and pumice powder that both cleanse and promote circulation.
-
A Cream to Treat Ingrown Hairs and Razor Bumps
Malin + Goetz Ingrown Hair Cream, $34 at Nordstrom
We’re all shaving more in summer and this residue-free cream helps soothe the irritation that inevitably follows. It relies on natural botanicals allantoin and chamomile to calm the skin down there. But that’s not all. Glycolic and salicylic acids exfoliate while vitamin B5 encourages skin repair.
-
An After-Sun Product
Ouai After Sun Body Soother, $25 at Revolve
Boasting aloe leaf juice, cucumber extract and rosehip oil, the foamy formula helps calm and heal skin after a day in the sun.
