Beauty Tips for the Hottest Summer days

Summer can make our faces look oily, dry, and dull. The many opportunities to get in the sun can also have us spending hours tanning while neglecting our skin. These products can help you to make the most of your time in the sun while maintaining your beauty regimen and keeping your skin protected and healthy, especially your face! Protecting your face in the sun now will mean less wrinkles and spots later on.

This list of summer beauty and make-up products will help you get that sun-kissed summer beach glow while nourishing and moisturizing your skin.

1. CLINIQUE Pep-Start Daily UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50

Unlike most sunscreens, this one goes on matte for a smooth sunscreen layer under your make-up that does not slide throughout the day. It offers skin protection that is so lightweight you can barely tell that it is there. Some of the best foundations have little or no SPF protection, so you can layer this one under your make-up to ensure your skin stays safe and smooth no matter which foundation you choose.

2. COOLA Organic Makeup Setting Sunscreen Spray

If you prefer to opt-out of sunscreen under your make-up entirely, this product is for you. This setting spray is one that I use daily throughout the year, but it is particularly convenient during the summer months. It includes SPF 30, and because it goes on over your make-up, you can reapply as needed throughout the day. Spray on after applying your make-up for a dewy look that keeps your make-up in place all day, without the greasiness of many other sunscreen products.

3. COOLA Mineral Liplux Organic Tinted Lip Balm

These organic mineral lip tints protect your lips from the sun while giving them a pop of color. They are water resistant for up to 40 minutes so they keep your lips looking luscious at the beach or pool even while swimming. They’re a great way to keep your lips hydrated in the heat of the summer. The color stays on well, so sometimes I also add a little color to my cheeks when I’m wearing no makeup for a blush color that is water resistant. Take it with you to the pool or beach and then reapply every hour or so to keep your lips from drying out in the sun.

4. Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mousse

This is the ideal at-home tanning product to get that summer glow and keep your skin smooth. This product is great because it gives you a natural looking tan with no orange tone. In the summer when it is easy to dry out your skin from all the sunshine, getting the perfect tan before you head to the pool or beach will help you keep your skin healthy and give your body an all-over glow from the tan. When using a tanning product at home, I reapply lotion in the morning and at night daily to ensure the longest lasting tan and to keep my skin moisturized.
