Skincare is essential all year round, but in the summer it’s time to get our tan on and get beautiful, luminous skin. Keeping a constant glow throughout the entire summer isn’t easy, I think we could all agree with that. We all have busy lives and can’t be at the beach everyday! Here are some must-have items to keep a healthy summer glow without having to hit the beach.
1—Exfoliate. To prep for a summer glow, my go-to is a really exfoliating body scrub. This one from Bliss not only smells amazing, but leaves my skin radiant. Exfoliating is essential because it removes all of the dead skin from your body and keeps your skin glowing!
2—Moisturize. After exfoliating, moisturizing with lotion will nourish your skin and maintain an amazing glow. This is something that must be done all year round in order to avoid patchy and dry skin. My absolute favorite lotion is this body butter by The Body Shop. I use it every single day and my skin is absolutely radiant. What I love the most is that the body butter is not too thick, so it will not leave your skin feeling heavy and sticky.
3—Self-tan. My favorite product for a healthy summer glow is this tanning mousse from St. Tropez. This is my absolute holy grail product. The mousse is so easy to use and gives your skin such a great natural tan. You’ll look like you just went on a beach vacation! Self-tanner is an essential for glowing skin because it will give you a natural summer tan without having to sit under the sun for hours. Not only will it save your skin from sun damage, you will also not have to worry about annoying tan lines.
4—Tinted moisturizer. Next, let’s focus on the face. It is the most important to keep the skin on your face healthy and young—wearing sunscreen helps with that. I wear Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer all year round, especially in the summer when I don’t want heavy coverage, but I still need to even out my skin tone. It has SPF 20 which is perfect to wear everyday. The moisturizer is more on the dewy side, so it leaves your skin looking bronzed and full of glow.
5—Highlight. The final product to top off your healthy summer glow is Benefit’s High Beam Liquid Face Highlighter. Not only do I put it on my face to add some serious glow, but I also put some on my body when I want to have more luminous skin, especially on my legs!
