Summer is finally here which means it’s time to update your beauty routine to match the warm temperatures. The heat and humidity make people more likely to experience breakouts, skin irritation, redness, and sunburn so it is more important than ever to take care of your skin. Follow along below for skin TLC tips from our beauty experts.

PROTECT, PROTECT, PROTECT

First things first, make sure you wear sunscreen and make sure it’s oil-free to prevent breakouts. You don’t want a layer of oil sitting on top of your face all day clogging your pores. Second, even application is EVERYTHING. You don’t want to miss areas and end up with an uneven protection. We recommend avoiding products with the chemical oxybenzone, as it is can disrupt normal hormone activity. Now that we’ve told you what to avoid, here are some of our favorite go-to sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection (protect against UVA and UVB rays) and are SPF 30 or higher.

BRIGHTEN

Sometimes we forget to protect our skin or don’t do the best job, but don’t freak out! There are things you can do when you inevitably get brown spots or an uneven skin tone. One is using skin-brightening products to reveal a luminous and even tone that will help your skin look younger and refreshed. You may wish to apply skin brightening products in the evening only, but they are great addition to your daily routine. Apply after sunscreen for max results.

COVER

BB cream has a lot of benefits, it provides hydration, SPF protection, color correction and sheer coverage. It was originally created by dermatologists for patients to use after undergoing laser skin surgery and is now mass marketed. It allows you to streamline your beauty routine because it’s multi-use: it improves the appearance of skin and provides coverage. BB creams frequently contain antioxidants such as Vitamin A, C and E which can help improve skin elasticity and brightness. Some contain hyaluronic acid which deeply moisturizes the skin. It’s a great option for girls on the go who don’t have time to work through a multi-step makeup routine yet still want to look put together. Get the no-makeup makeup look – fresh and flawless without the 10 step regimen.

ILLUMINATE

Summer is all about luminous and radiant skin, but it doesn’t come naturally to everyone no matter how serious the skincare routine. For a little extra glow, use a powder that highlights and gives you some color.

THE LAST HURRAH

Last but not least, use setting spray as the finishing touch in your beauty regimen. It helps keep makeup in place as well as provides an instant boost of hydration to refresh the skin. The MAC Prep+Prime Fix+ is great because it’s packed with vitamins and minerals and infused with a blend of green tea, chamomile and cucumber to gently soothe the skin. This setting spray is perfect for girls on the go as it comes in a tote-able 30ml size.
