During the Summer your typical beauty and skincare routine is almost guaranteed to change just as fast as the weather does. Here in Florida it’s warm 12 months out of the year but as June approaches the humidity pumps itself up about 10 notches. This is when my skin tends to go into panic mode. My complexion instantly turns from flawless to frightening within days and I find myself frantically looking for a miracle. The song “Summertime Sadness” now has a completely new meaning.
Keeping your skin healthy, radiant, and glowing during the Summer is not as hard as it may seem. If your skin does the “freak out” like mine you may need to switch up the products you are using and try something new. What works for you may not be what works for someone else. We all have different skin types, concerns, problem areas, and preferred brands we swear by. Believe it or not, there is a fix for most of the issues we face. These include fine lines, wrinkles, dry skin, and dark circles. Everyone has had at least one of these in their lifetime and HSN has a skincare page to help find the solutions to the common problems we face.
Some of the problems I face in the Summer are chapped lips and dry skin. I often scour for new products that will help to alleviate some of my skin stress this time of year but there are quite a few that have become staples in my routine over time. These are some of my favorite Summer beauty essentials for maintaining healthy beautiful skin and hair in the sunshine.
1. Simple Skincare Exfoliating Facial Wipes: keeping your skin clean and exfoliated prevents your pores from getting clogged and also removes dead skin cells that may cause your complexion to look dull.
2. Fekkai Summer Hair After Sun Daily Mask: protect your hair before and after a sunshine filled day by treating it with a hydrating conditioning mask. This will bring your locks back to life and protect it from the sun’s harmful rays.
3. Evian Facial Water Spray: rehydrate and keep your skin moisturized with a facial mineral spray. Not only will it keep your skin subtle and youthful, it’s also refreshing.
4. bareMinerals READY Foundation: Summer isn’t suitable for wearing liquid and mousse foundations. The melted makeup look isn’t very attractive. Invest in a solid mineral foundation with hydrating coverage and SPF.
5. Murad Essential-C Sun Balm: take your SPF in a portable package, or stick. A good sunscreen is a must have during the Summer. Protect the skin your in!
6. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment: don’t forget about your lips, as they need love too. Invest in a moisturizing balm to protect and nourish your lips which will prevent them from drying out.
7. Lush Ocean Salt Face & Body Scrub: using an all over mineral scrub with natural ingredients like seal salt and lime will help to exfoliating, polish, and brighten skin.
8. Philosophy Hope In Jar Moisturizer: a lightweight moisturizer will help keep your skin hydrated without leaving an oily mess behind. Even though Summer may be humid, the sun and water can actually dry out your skin while stripping away your natural oils.
This Summer while you’re taking the time to pick out the perfect beach outfit and matching sandals, don’t forget to take your skin into consideration too. Revamp and refine your skincare routine to make sure you are protecting yourself from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Use sunscreen generously, invest in a big floppy hat, and pack your favorite sunglasses for the days you will be soaking up the sunshine.
Remember, it’s easier to prevent damage than it is to repair it. Your skin will thank you later!

I have terrible trouble with dry lips during the summer. Lip balm is a must.
hope in a jar is superb. I'd use that by the vat
That's a great summer collection! I bet that evian spray is great for a day at the beach or pool.
Never seen the Evian Facial Water Spray,Would love to try it.Also the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment sounds good.
I am so bad – I bake in the sun all summer long, so moisturizer and lip balm are must haves for me!
I always have problems with chapped lips. Great sounding products.
I have been hearing a lot about facial water this summer. Has this been a thing before? Am I really that behind?
I have found that putting on chap stick every night before I go to bed which has helped my lips a lot. But you have some great suggestions that I will have to check out. Thanks!!
Great roundup. The only one I've used so far is Hope in a Jar.
That hair mask looks great! I love the sugar lip stuff!
Great picks! I really want to try those exfoliating wipes.
I'm such a beauty product junkie. I want all of those. 🙂
I'd love to try an after sun hair mask. The hot sun is AWESOME but it's also very hard on skin and hair.
Twice now, I have forgotten to take my sunscreen with me. Twice I have gotten burned. I need to get with the program.
I've never tried sunscreen in a spray. I really need to do that. I love those Simple face wipes too.
I love facial wipes….you have some great products here!
oh, I definitely want to try some of these!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Great product choices! I use the Simple wipes all the time!
The Evian facial water spray looks interesting! I bet it is refreshing!
I love the picks! I always have to double check and make sure I have my sun block before I leave the house. I'm pretty fair skinned, so it does not go well if I forget.
Oh my gosh I LOVE the lush scrub! They carry some of my favorite products.
I love the simple facial wipes. I've used a facial water spray before that wasn't Evian but I LOVED IT. IT was so refreshing on a hot summer day.
This is a great round up. I personally us the Simple wipes and the Evian spray!
I've never used any of there specific products. I do agree that protection and moisture are absolutely necessary for glowing skin in the summer.
What a great summer list! I love Lush products! I'd like to try that Sugar lip color!
I have to add those Simple Skincare Exfoliating Facial Wipes to my beauty bag. My skin gets so icky during all the outside summer activities.
That ocean salt body scrub sounds amazing! I would love to try it out.
I see a lot of nice beauty products shown here. It good to have products specifically made for summer/
I would try the hush ocean salt.
