12 Must-Have Summer Beauty Products

First things first. You need a great sunscreen to get through the summer months (and beyond). We love La Roche-Posay’s Ultra-fluid Lotion SPF 50 for the face. It’s fast-absorbing and has a natural matte finish, ensuring it doesn’t make you look oily.

As we write this, Rhode’s Glazing Milk is back in stock! The nutrient-rich product boosts barrier function and provides immediate, luminous hydration, giving that “Glazed Donut” look we’re all trying so desperately to achieve!

Throughout summer it’s natural for our hair to get oily on a more frequent basis. Having a great dry shampoo like Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day will help your hair feel ultra-fresh between washes.

There’s nothing like a nice flush on the cheeks throughout the summer, and we can’t get enough of Dior’s Rosy Glow Blush! As much as we love a liquid blush, having a powder to swipe on throughout the summer makes getting ready so much easier.

We can’t say enough great things about Innisfree’s Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Moisturizer! It’s lightweight yet still does the job, it feels great on the skin, and it smells amazing. What’s not to love?

We’ll be having this Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Soother in our bags all summer long. It’s glossy, nourishing, and even has SPF in it!

Who needs to sit out in the sun when you can buy St. Tropez’s Self Tan Express Bronzing Mousse? We’ve curated a list of our favourite self-tanners, but this one seems to be a fan fave.

An oldie but a goodie. We’ll never get tired of Physicians Formula’s Butter Bronzer. It glides on… well, like butter. It’s buildable and it smells like summer. Plus you get a ton of product for the price.

Water-proof mascara throughout the summer is a must. Whether you’re going to the pool or just braving the heat, you’re going to want something that won’t budge. Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara provides volume, length, and colour – all while being water-proof.

If your face is constantly getting oily throughout the day, these Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets are about to become your new best friend! Just stick them in your bag and whenever you’re feeling a little extra shiny, blot away.

Hair removal is obviously optional, but if you are someone who prefers to get rid of exposed hair, during the summer it can feel like a never-ending task. Thankfully, waxing tends to minimize hair growth so you won’t have to shave nearly every day. These Nair Wax Strips makes waxing from home super easy!

Let’s be real, we’ve all been there. There’s nothing worse than walking around in the summer heat in a dress or shorts only to be left with terrible chaffing. First Aid Beauty’s Anti-Chafe Stick provides chaffing protection for up to 10,000 steps. Your thighs will thank you!
