Summer Skincare Picks

The warm months are the time when we all toe the line between glistening and being oily.  We're all obsessed with that perfect highlight, but the minute the humidity levels raise ever so slightly, we are reaching for the nearest Kleenex.  The moment the weather warms up, there are a few of our products that must make their way to the back of our medicine cabinets for a few months.  It isn't that we don't love them, but in order to be our best selves while the sun is out, we have to mix the best skin cocktail.  This takes a lot of practice, and quite a bit of trial and error, but we think we've finally got it.  Here are the products that keep us shining just enough, but not too much.

  • Eve Lom Cleanser - This cleanser is a staple no matter what season it is.  Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer, this cleanser is the perfect way to cleanse and moisturize.  If you're oily, this is the perfect evening cleanser to remove all of your makeup and prep your skin for beauty sleep.  If your skin is dry, you can use this gem day and night.  This is an oil cleanser, and paired with their muslin cloth, your skin will never feel better. 
  • Lani Tropical Super Serum - This natural and vegan serum is perfectly light and insanely hydrating.  However, there is a particular way to use oils and serums.  Oils attract the sun to your skin.  This is why they always oiled up before hitting the beach in all 80s movies.  With that said, you don't want to use them on your face during the day.  This will attract the sun straight to your face, and protecting our skin is always the priority.  Pat this into your clean skin before bedtime, and you will wake up ready to go. 
  • One Love Vitamin E Eye Balm - Finding the perfect cream is tough.  This balm has one purpose - to hydrate.  If you're looking for something to help with puffiness or fine lines, this is not your best bet, but if you want to deliver a quick drink of water to your under eye area, reach for this.  
  • One Love Gardenia + Tea Serum - Your skin is your largest organ, so it's arguably the most important part of your skincare routine.  During the warm months, our skin can get dry.  Spray this serum on your skin before you use your moisturizer, and your skin will thank you.

So, go and get your shine on.
