As summer’s golden light stretches into longer days and warmer nights, it’s the perfect moment to refresh your beauty routine with products that deliver both radiance and resilience. Whether you’re soaking up the sun by the coast or enjoying casual backyard gatherings, having the right beauty staples in your arsenal can make all the difference.
I’m excited to share my favorite go-to products this summer—each one designed to elevate your glow, tame summer hair challenges, and keep you feeling fresh from morning till night. From luscious balms to lightweight lotions and flawless foundations, here’s the ultimate lineup that’s been my secret to a beautiful summer.
Re-Eau: The Fresh, Everyday Fragrance
First up is Re-Eau (pronounced “rio”), a fragrance that’s quickly become my daily signature scent. Imagine capturing that clean, just-stepped-out-of-the-shower freshness—and then wearing it all day long. That’s exactly what Re-Eau delivers, blending soft notes of vanilla, bergamot, iris, and rose. Its origins from Brazil, crafted in Portugal, infuse this scent with a breezy, coastal vibe that feels like a gentle ocean breeze.
A neat trick? Keep your bottle in the fridge for an invigorating, cooling spritz that’s especially refreshing during those hot summer afternoons.
Jones Road Miracle Balm: Your Glow Game-Changer
When it comes to a summer glow, Jones Road Miracle Balm is my holy grail. I’ve been loyal to this balm for over a year because it’s incredibly versatile—you can swipe it on your cheeks for a natural flush or add a subtle tint to your lips. The shade “Miami Beach,” my personal favorite, gives just the right amount of warmth to mimic that sun-kissed look without any harshness. It’s lightweight, blendable, and delivers a radiant finish that feels like a breath of fresh summer air.
Living Proof Anti-Frizz Collection: Tame Those Summer Strands
Summer humidity can be a hairdresser’s nightmare, especially if you have curls like me. That’s why the Living Proof Anti-Frizz line has been a game changer. For over six months, I’ve been using this trio:
- Instant De-Frizzer to smooth flyaways on the go
- Smooth Styling Cream to keep curls defined and soft
- Vanishing Oil to lock in moisture without any greasy residue
This set transforms my wild, curly hair into sleek, manageable locks, even on the most humid days. If frizz is your summer nemesis, these products are worth every penny.
L’Occitane Milk Concentrate: Silky-Smooth Hydration
Body care is just as important in summer, and L’Occitane’s Milk Concentrate Body Lotion has been my long-time favorite. Its formula is luxuriously light yet deeply nourishing, making it the perfect choice to hydrate skin that’s exposed to sun and saltwater. Bonus: they now offer a refill option, which is both eco-friendly and convenient.
This lotion absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling velvety soft without any sticky finish—a total summer win.
Makeup Must-Haves: Flawless Base and Bright Eyes
Summer can be tricky for makeup, especially when you want coverage that doesn’t feel heavy or cakey. Two products I can’t live without are:
- Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation: It delivers full coverage with a natural finish that lasts all day, so you can go from beach to brunch looking polished.
- Bobbi Brown Undereye Corrector: This gem brightens tired eyes instantly, smoothing out dark circles and giving a refreshed, well-rested appearance.
Together, they create a smooth, radiant canvas that enhances your natural beauty without weighing you down in the heat.
