With summer quickly approaching, we are beginning to store away our heavier moisurizers and full coverage foundations in favor of products that will leave us with that natural bronzed, dewy glow. Below you can find some of my favorite summer go-to products, that will help you achieve that healthy, lightweight, lit from within summer glow! And of course, don’t forget your SPF!

Face SPF

This is one of my all time favorite SPF products for the face. If you suffer from breakouts or are worried about clogged pores, the Neutrogena Clear Face SPF is amazing. Being that it’s oil free, it doesn’t leave a greasy residue on your skin, making it suitable for wearing under makeup. It’s also a top rated product on Amazon and super afforable! It does have that typical sunscreen sent, which I know does bother some people so I figured I would mention that.

If you’re in the market for something a little more high-end, the Murad Age Defense SPF is a great option. It’s a mineral sunscreen suitable for all skin types, and is formulated with vitamin C to help brighten and even out your skin. It is also formulated without parabens, phthalates, and sulfates!

SHOP TINTED

SHOP SHEER

Drunk Elephant makes some fantastic skincare products. Their SPF assists in reducing and preventing fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and dullness. The Umbra Tinte is a tinted SPF, so if you are looking for a little bit of added bronze, then this is a great choice. The one of the right is a sheer version with no tint. These products are formulated without silicones and fragrance and are cruelty-free. The sheer version does have Marula oil, so if you have oily skin, these may not be for you.

 

Skincare

Sometimes after long hours in the sun and being outdoors, your skin just needs a little pick-me-up. If you’re not into doing a fussy 10 step skincare routine, try this Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask. It is formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid, and exfoliating AHA + amino acid-rich watermelon extract. It helps protect your skin against free radicals while buffing away dead skin cells for a smoother complexion. It’s free of parabens, sulfate phthalates, mineral oils, synthetic dyes and drying alcohols. Cruelty free and vegan! Comes in 2 sizes.

SHOP HERE

Another Amazon favorite, the TrueSkin Vitamin C serum with Vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. If you are looking for a one-stop-shop, then this is for you. Nobody wants to be hung up in the bathroom all morning when there is so much sun to be had outside! Eliminate your multi-step routine with this serum. Plus your skin will thank you for all the anti-aging properties you are providing it.

Makeup

SHOP HERE

Maybelline makes some phenominal primers. What’s great about this one is it also contains SPF, so if you don’t feel like wearing a heavy duty sunscreen under your makeup, you can opt for this instead.

SHOP HERE

If you are looking for a natural healthy bronzed glow without foundation, try the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti Pollution Sunshine Drops. It’s a serum that mimics the effects of Vitamin D, so you can avoid sun damage.

SHOP HERE

If you desire a little more coverage, try the Garnier Anti-Aging BB Cream with SPF 15. It’s not as heavy as a foundation, so you’ll still feel lightweight and free, but it will provide you with a little more coverage. It controls shine, minimizes pores and evens your skintone.

SHOP HERE

This is a great afforable dupe for my favorite Becca Cosmetics Beach Tint for lips and cheeks (which I believe is discontinued). This will help you achieve that rosy, sunkissed look without the actual sunburn. I personally cannot live without this and it is definitely a cult favorite of mine. Even if I have no other makeup on, this will instantly bring my face to life.

For my final tip, you can use a waterproof brown liquid liner pen to add faux freckles (if you don’t already have them). Mine always come out in the sun, but you can enhace them or add them yourself for that summer sunkissed effect.
