Need it, Need it, Yes, Need it.
Ah, the sweet sounds — and smell, and sights of a fresh summer — but how are we in June already much less the end of June. With summer in full swing and the humidity-filled air and beating sun, it’s time to switch out heavier formulations for gentler alternatives to keep your skin bright and fresh without feeling weighed down. While our beauty routines may not see a very huge change, there are some subtle tweaks that can make your skincare, makeup and haircare routine that’s more suited to warm weather. Allow us to introduce you to your summer beauty staples. Ahead, the very best new makeup, skin care, and hair products of the month. There are hydrating moisturizers and sunscreens, gorgeous lip balms and creamy blushes that can be worn with or without foundation, and hair serums that actually keep out frizz-inducing moisture.

Throughout the year—even on cloudy days—the sun’s rays can continuously damage skin and accelerate the appearance of signs of aging. The unique formula combines the lightness of a gel with the comfort of a cream and absorbs seamlessly, without leaving behind a white cast. SPF 50 and a skin-strengthening complex help protect against UV rays and boost skin’s natural defenses.
