Summer’s here—whether we’re ready or not. And while we might not be jetting off to the Amalfi Coast this year, that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace that sun-kissed, bare-skin glow right at home.

This season, less is more. Heavy creams? No thanks. Complicated routines? Hard pass. Instead, we’re streamlining our beauty regimens with lightweight, multitasking heroes that keep skin fresh, protected, and glowing—even when the humidity hits. Here’s how to tweak your routine for the sweatiest, sunniest months.

The Summer Skin Commandments

1. Lighten Up Your Skincare

Swap rich winter creams for breathable, water-based formulas that hydrate without suffocating.

✔ Furtuna Skin – Organic Italian oils that nourish just enough
✔ ODACITÉ Black Mint Cleanser – A cooling, detoxifying reset for sticky days
✔ Beboe Therapies CBD Cream – Calms redness (hello, maskne) without heaviness

2. SPF Is Non-Negotiable (Yes, Still)

Your “one SPF fits all” days are over. Now, it’s all about activity-specific protection:

• Lips: Supergoop!’s minty Play Balm (SPF 30, no sunscreen taste)
• Reapplication: Kinfield’s aloe mist (soothes and shields)
• Under Makeup: Supergoop Glow Screen (SPF + radiance in one)

3. Fake the Vacation Glow

No flights needed for this luminous skin:

✨ Oribe All-Over Oil – A luxe shimmer for limbs, hair, and face
✨ Fridge-Chilled Jade Roller – Depuffs and cools in seconds
✨ True Botanicals Nutrient Mist – Sets makeup and delivers antioxidants

The Summer Survival Kit

☀️ For Heat Waves

• Hourglass Setting Spray – Locks makeup in place (no meltdowns here)
• Curie Deodorant Spray – Works on pits, thighs, and sandy feet
• LoQ Nona Sandals – Because strappy leather = instant mood boost

🦟 For Bug Battles

• Kinfield’s DEET-Free Repellent – Smells like lemongrass, not chemicals
• Cooling Waterbalm Stick – Soothes sunburns and bites on the go

🕶️ For Eye Protection (and Instagram Aesthetics)

• Le Specs Carmito Sunglasses – Shields retinas and elevates every outfit

The Mindset Shift

This summer might not look like what we imagined—but that doesn’t mean we can’t romanticize the small joys:

• Farmers’ market hauls (peaches! cherries! sun-warmed tomatoes!)
• Backyard “staycations” (kiddie pool + spritzers = resort vibes)
• Bare skin confidence – No foundation, just freckles and fresh mist
