Top Summertime Beauty Products

Why do all of our beauty routines seem to go out the window in the summertime? Suddenly, our tried and true products stop working and we feel the need to switch it up and lighten up. Whether it’s the frizz-inducing humidity or the makeup-melting heat, summer is all about finding products that beat the heat and keep you looking fresh and lovely.

Here, some of the best and most highly rated beauty products to get you through the summer, from tried and true classics to new favorites.

Gussi At Home Keratin Treatment, $65: You’ll fall in love with the packaging first, which is cheerful and fun and actually makes you want to tackle an intimidating treatment at home. Gussi gives you everything you need for an at-home keratin treatment, including a priming shampoo, a foaming keratin treatment, and an optional subscription plan. Just add your own blowdryer and flatiron for 6 weeks of smooth, frizz-free hair, a true summer lifesaver.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Balm Color Correcting Cream SPF30, $52: This is one of those products that you have to see to believe, and it’s truly miraculous. It starts out as a thick green paste, but then melts into your skin in a magic, redness-reducing beige cream that soothes, protects, and evens out your skin tone. Wear alone for a smooth natural glow or under your foundation as a primer.

Lancome Monsieur Big: Even with all of the competition out there from flashy new brands, Lancome’s mascaras are second to none. This one is definitely a favorite. It gives thick, black, dramatic lashes that are truly waterproof and smudgeproof, even on oily lids.

Lume Deodorant: This all-natural deodorant was developed by a gynecologist to be used anywhere you have odor. The range of fragrances mean that there is something for everyone, and it’s baking soda free, which makes it gentle and non-irritating. I also love that this product is a cream, and can be applied with a traditional deodorant stick or out of a tube.

It! Cosmetics Your Most Beautiful You Anti Aging Matte Bronzer Radiance Luminizer and Brightener: This all-in-one product contains everything you need for a fresh summer glow, from blush to bronzer to highlighter, in one convenient compact. 

Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Body Cream, $45: This rich and fruity body cream uses fruit acids and Vitamin C to give skin a fresh, even glow. Used daily, skin gets brighter and smoother. And it smells like summertime.

First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser, $28: Many women suffer from keratosis pilaris, or those little bumps on the upper arms, and this product gently buffs those bumps away. It’s also super gentle and non-irritating. 

Lumify Eye Drops, $11.99: Sun, salt, allergies and other irritants can lead to bloodshot eyes, and Lumify makes them look bright and perky. It’s the only product that selectively targets redness, making it safe to use regularly.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, $30: In the summer, sometimes a little concealer on trouble spots is all you really need, and this is one of the best. Creamy yet long-lasting, it checks all the boxes and works as well under eyes as it does over blemishes and other imperfections.

Westmore Beauty Body Perfector: This sheer tinted cream deposits just enough color to even your skin tone all over, giving a natural, radiant glow. Great to use on pale legs in early summer, on uneven skin tones, or in place of a self-tanner.
