The Best Summer Skincare + SPF Essentials for Glowing Skin

The Best Summer Skincare + SPF Essentials for Glowing Skin

Looking for dewy skin this summer? Aren’t we all! I’m sharing my summer skincare favorites to help you glow this summer season. With high temperatures and humidity, our skin can produce more sebum which means clogged pores and more breakouts. Along with that, increasing your skin to the long days of summer (UV rays) can damage the skin if you don’t protect it with an SPF. A good rule of thumb for summer skin care is to reach for lighter moisturizers and skincare products that are gel and water-based.

Best Summer Skincare Products

If you want glowing skin this summer the best practice would be to avoid heavy creams and products that will clog pores. Remember to cleanse morning and night and most of all wear and reapply that sunscreen. Along with that, I always up my water intake in the summer to help the skin stay hydrated. Finally, adding things like aloe vera and collagen to your smoothies will help your skin glow from the inside out.

While all opinions and recommendations are always my own, my content on this blog post may contain affiliate links for products I use and love. This means I get a small commission (at no additional cost to you) if you make a purchase after clicking one of these links. As always, I am so thankful for your support so I can continue to offer free resources!!

Gel Cleanser AM/PM

  • peach & Lily cleanser

This Peach & Lily gel cleanser is so lightweight and perfect for your AM or PM skin care routine. I absolutely love the way it makes my skin GLOW after a deep clean. Not to mention a little goes a long way!

Gentle Toner AM/PM

  • caudalie gentle toner

Try to stay away from active toners this season and instead opt for a gentle toner. I love this one from Caudalie because it’s a highly natural, vegan toner that hydrates and soothes skin while visibly removing final traces of makeup—leaving skin feeling clean, fresh, and softened.

Glass Skin Refining Serum AM/PM

  • peach & Lily glass skin

This cult-favorite serum is the best way to hydrate your skin this summer. A revolutionary cocktail of peach extract, niacinamide, East Asian mountain yam, madecassoside, peptides, and hyaluronic acid help to visibly hydrate, calm, brighten, and firm skin. Expect glassy and luminous skin after using this serum. It’s best to use it before your moisturizer.

Vitamin C Serum AM

Antioxidants are best used underneath your SPF. They help fight against free radicals and make your skin appear brighter. Since summers are mostly spent outdoors protect your skin with the best Vitamin C. It helps visibly reduce the appearance of sun damage. Click here for an entire Vitamin C guide.

Hyaluronic Acid

  • farmacy hyaluronic acid

This Farmacy hyaluronic acid is a powerful, visibly skin-plumping, and micro-filling serum that hydrates and smooths the look of wrinkles with hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen peptides.

Lightweight Moisturizer AM + PM

PM Moisturizer

This Kiehl’s cloud cream is a moisturizing botanical face cream, formulated with omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, that visibly increase the plumpness of skin while you sleep. It’s super lightweight, clean, and is my new summer go-to product!

AM Moisturizer + Eye Patches

We’re saying bye to those thick moisturizers this summer and hello to lightweight moisturizers! This kit of full-size hydrating must-haves: the Water Drench Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer and Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches. It’s the perfect duo for those summer mornings. This kit is a limited edition and the eye patches are basically free so jump on it!

Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

The best smelling moisturizer I have ever tried! The famous bum bum cream (pronounced boom boom) is great to tighten and visibly smooth the skin. If you’re consistent with the application I’ve noticed a big difference in my skin.

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish

This setting powder blurs imperfections and helps reduce that shiny sweat glow that the summer brings. I tend to keep this in my purse and is the best way to freshen up my summer makeup.

Skinny Confidential Ice Roller AM/PM

  • pink aluminum ice roller

The best way to de-puff in the morning is this incredible ice roller. A preventative skin tool that uses the power of cold therapy to contour, tighten and de-puff your skin. THE HOT MESS ICE ROLLER’S all-aluminum roller gets cold fast and stays cold longer than most other ice rollers. I use it every morning and it is so soothing and relaxing!

Best SPF for Summer

If there is one product that everyone needs in their summer skincare routine it’s SPF. It’s hands down the most effective way of anti-aging. When choosing the SPF that’s best for you’ll want to consider a few things:

  • Choose a sunscreen that’s broad spectrum. This protects your skin against UVA and UVB rays which you need because UVB rays are what cause sunburn/skin cancer.
  • Choose an SPF that is 30 or higher: the higher the number the better protection it has against the sun. For example, an SPF of 30 protects you from 97% of UVB rays versus an SPF of 50 which protects against 98%
  • Water Resistant doesn’t mean waterproof. You still need to reapply every 80 minutes even when you are swimming

Elta MD

  • elta md sunscreen

My favorite sunscreen that has never let me down! Not only is it certified dermatologist-approved but it is highly effective and does not leave a white cast. I have been using this for years and it’s hands down my favorite skincare product – click here to shop.

Innisfree

  • affordable sunscreen

If you’re looking for the best affordable sunscreen with no white cast then look no further! This cult favorite is taking the SPF market by storm. At only $15 this hydrating sunscreen is best for combo and dry skin types. It also has no parabens so clean beauty babes this one is for you!

Tula

  • tula mineral spf
  • tula protect and glow sunscreen
Protect + Glow

The Tula Protect + Glow sunscreen has been a staple of mine for years. It’s broad-spectrum, has a slight glow, and offers endless sun protection from the damaging effects of pollution & blue light.

Mineral Magic

For my tinted SPF lovers, this new water light mineral magic sunscreen SPF is fabulous. Not only does it provide broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection, but it also applies effortlessly & absorbs weightlessly on the skin. Finally, it’s non-comedogenic & non-greasy – making it perfect for summer skincare!

Supergoop SPF

Supergoop Glowscreen

For my tinted SPF lovers, this Supergoop daily primer leaves a dewy, glowy finish and preps skin for makeup, with SPF protection and major hydration.

Supergoop Brush Powder SPF

This re-setting mineral powder is perfect for all skin types and those hot summer days. This formula smooths the skin’s appearance and reduces shine. Brush on throughout the day to reapply SPF. Hands down the easiest way to re-apply your sunscreen and is always in my bag!

Skincare Products to Avoid During Summer

Due to increased sunlight, you’ll want to stay away from AHA’s, Retinols, and anything that can damage your skin while being in the sun. Now that doesn’t mean to completely eliminate these products from your routine it just means that you should use them less. For instance, if you plan on spending the entire day at the beach or touring New York City do not use any active ingredients (retinol, AHA, BHA) in your nighttime routine and lather on that SPF.

Thank you for reading my “The Best Summer Skincare for Dewy Skin: summer skincare essentials”. I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and use these products to make that skin glow baby!
