suncare
for the face
there’s nothing worse than chapped lips or a sun blister during the summer. I have been there. I like to always have SUPERGOOP lip balm or AQUAPHOR lip protector with me. at night I put on the ILIA lip wrap overnight treatment; it's like a facial for your lips. I also like MAKE BEAUTY’s lip reset overnight lip mask. it is super hydrating but also glossy so I use it during the day if I need extra nourishment.
spf is always so important and I love SAIE’s sunvisor because it feels like an extension of my skincare routine. it blends right into the skin and gives a little glow. another one I like is SUPERGOOP’s unseen sunscreen. I love the way it feels, plus it helps to protect against blue light so it's great for everyday. it also doubles as makeup primer.
for tinted moisturizer, I love CHARLOTTE TILBURY’s unisex healthy glow, especially in the summer because it brings out your natural tan and it's lightweight. I mix it with another tinted moisturizer and use it as my summer foundation. I have also been using SAIE’s slip tint with spf 35 since it launched 3 years ago. (see here for a quick 5 min everyday look). it is just so easy and gives you a dewy look. tip: in the summer I change tint colors or mix 2 colors together due to the sun.
I also use DR. STURM sun drops post skincare routine. I love that it has spf 50 and feels like an ultra luxe serum that lends some glow.
if I am doing a full beach day, I like to use ISDIN eryfotona actinica or ELTAMD for higher spf. they are a little thicker and I like to get ultra protected if I am going to be directly in the sun for the day.
I like to set my sunscreen with SOLEIL TOUJOUR’s spf 30 mist also. I always have this in my bag to spray throughout the day.
I really try to protect my face as much as possible, always wearing a hat and lots of sunscreen, therefore I need a little color on my face! after testing these VOTARY self tan drops awhile back, I haven’t stopped using them. there is no smell at all and it blends into your skin with ease. I put it on with my serum and mix them together. it has given me a tan glow that people have now commented on.
for the bod
my two amazing girlfriends recently launched this brand DUNE and I am obsessed with the bod guard sunscreen. it goes on like butter and gives me a glow all day long. it’s super lightweight and smells great, which I really appreciate.
for spray, I love SOLEIL TOUJOURS antioxidant sunscreen mist. it goes on clear and has aloe leaf juice, vitamin c and vitamin e. I also love COOLA’s classic organic sunscreen. it isn’t greasy and super light weight.
post-sun
I always have NÉCESSAIRE body serum handy, especially in the summer, because it's fragrance free and light. I like to use it if I am going out for the night but don’t want a heavy lotion.
I like SYMBIOME’s body oil for ultra hydration in the summer when your body is craving that after being in the sun all day. I finished the first bottle I ever had, which rarely happens with any type of oil for me. it makes my skin glisten while not being too oily. I put it on right after the shower so it absorbs into my skin. *use code DRIA20 for 20% off Symbiome.
before I go to bed I have been using SUMMER FRIDAY’s nourishing body lotion. it's thick and helps with any dryness.
