10 Summer Skincare Must-Haves for Brighter, Healthier, Hydrated Skin

1 - A Sheer Mineral Sunscreen
Sunscreen is the most important step in your skincare routine for preventing skin cancer as well as signs of aging. Protect your skin from daily sun exposure with our Zinc Sheet Mineral Sunscreen that blends seamlessly into skin and grips makeup for extended wear. Natural zinc oxide blocks harmful UVA/UVB rays, while ectoin and butterfly ginger extract extend our SPF's protective qualities to strengthen skin's barrier, lock in hydration, and prevent daytime damage.
2 - A Deep-Cleaning Cleanser
Using a water-resistant sunscreen is a smart move, but the same stay-put properties that make your SPF last can also be hard to wash off easily. Our light and silky Antioxidant Cleansing Oil effortlessly dissolves stubborn SPF and even waterproof mascara, while adding a burst of squalane-fueled hydration. Nourishing antioxidants target stress and signs of aging, leaving the skin healthy, radiant, and nourished.
Skin also tends to produce more sebum during the summer months, leading to clogged pores that can stretch and appear enlarged or even form blemishes. Deep-clean your pores with our foamy and refreshing Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser. Formulated for all skin types, this satisfying foaming cleanser uses a powerful amino acid complex to break down makeup and impurities, while aloe calms and soothes and sugarcane-derived squalane delivers a burst of barrier-boosting moisture. Your skin is left clean, hydrated, and refreshed.
3 - A Pore-Refining Toner
Pores can go haywire in warm weather, leading to blemishes and uneven texture. Our BHA Pore-Minimizing Toner helps dramatically exfoliate skin without overstripping . The alcohol-free toner uses white willowbark extract — a natural, oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid — to gently but powerfully exfoliate and decongest pores.
Caviar lime extract works its alpha hydroxy magic to gently exfoliate dead cells from the surface of your skin. All this happens without any drying or over-stripping thanks to our sugarcane-derived squalane, which balances the skin and leaves it smooth, hydrated, and ready to receive treatment and moisturizing products. Pore-refining tone is considered by most to be one of the best skincare products for summer.
4 - A Hydrating Eye Cream
Nothing saps skin hydration quite like air travel no matter how much water you drink during your flight. Even people with oily skin may notice the telltale signs of dehydration immediately after disembarking. Take special care to lock in moisture in your delicate undereye area where the skin is thinner and more susceptible to dehydration. It’s especially important to apply a generous layer of eye cream on the morning of your flight. Our award-winning Marine Algae Eye Cream uses peptides, paracress extract, and our superhero squalane to reduce the looks of fine lines and wrinkles while delivering deep hydration. It also melts into skin to provide the perfect canvas for makeup while its naturally pink color subtly brightens, ensuring you arrive at your destination looking bright-eyed and refreshed.
5 - A Plumping Facial Serum
The secret to arriving at your vacation destination with plump, bouncy, hydrated skin is making sure it’s at optimal hydration before you travel. Our Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum powerfully hydrates and visibly plumps with a complex of clinically proven hydrators including hyaluronic acid, ectoin, and polyglutamic acid. Meanwhile copper peptides visibly improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles for smooth, bouncy, deeply hydrated skin. We recommend using our Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum during your AM and PM summer skincare routine.
6 - A Refreshing Facial Mist
If you’re prone to dryness or suffer from redness and flushing during the summer months, a cooling blast of hydrating facial mist can provide lasting relief. Our award-winning Hyaluronic Acid Facial Mist is made with two types of hyaluronic acid to weightlessly restore hydration inside and out for complete, skin-plumping moisture protection and all-day radiance. Use it as part of your skincare routine to balance and prep skin to receive active ingredients, or as a midday makeup and hydration refresher.
7 - A Nourishing Moisturizer
External aggressors such as UV rays, pool chemicals, pollution, and salt water can dehydrate skin and damage its moisture barrier. This can show up as breakouts, redness, increased sensitivity, fine lines, and dullness. When searching for a summer moisturizer, look for a fast-absorbing formula with nourishing ingredients that lock in hydration and support the skin barrier.
Our Omega Repair Cream strengthens and repairs the moisture barrier with ceramides and fatty acids for smooth, supple, radiant skin. Its whipped cream texture absorbs weightlessly, creating a weightlessly dewy finish that’s ideal for every skin type. We recommend twice daily use for people with dry or combination skin.
If you’re on the oilier side, you may prefer our Probiotic Gel Moisturizer for day and our Omega Repair Cream at night.
People with oily skin may find that their skin appears greasy as temperatures rise -- especially in more humid climates. If that sounds like you, reach for our Probiotic Gel Moisturizer. Its advanced encapsulated probiotics support a healthy microbiome for balanced skin, reducing excess oil and minimizing pore appearance while also visibly calming redness.
8 - A Skin-Toning Body Cream
Summer’s sleeveless tops and bathing suits mean you’ll be exposing more of your skin. Help your body look its best with all-over skin-firming hydration courtesy of our Caffeine Toning Body Cream. In this decadently rich body cream, caffeine sourced from green coffee beans gives the skin a smoother appearance while niacinamide improves skin texture and barrier function. Use deep, circular massaging motions to apply to thighs, abdomen, or any other areas that need a lift.
9 - A Weightless, Glow-Boosting Body Oil
Luminous, healthy skin is the ultimate accessory to pair with revealing summer styles. Lock in moisture and boost radiance from head to toe with our 100% Squalane Oil. Our fast-absorbing sugarcane-derived squalane oil is a molecular match for the moisture naturally found in human skin, making it the ideal all-over moisturizing oil. While there are many ways to use our 100% Squalane Oil, using it as an all-over highlighter is one of our favorites. Dab a little bit on your collar bone and shoulders and smooth it onto your legs for a weightless, natural-looking summer glow.
10 - A Deeply Nourishing Lip Balm
Long days in the sun can cause dehydration, and your lips are often the first place where it shows up. Immediately improve the appearance of dry lips by delivering a blast of glossy moisture with our Pro-Peptide Lip Perfector. A trio of hydrating ingredients delivers instant, deep, and long lasting moisture for plumper looking lips.
