While fashion is always my main focus, I love sharing beauty favorites—especially when they change with the seasons. Summer brings heat, sun, and sweat, so I’ve rounded up the 12 summer beauty essentials I use almost daily to stay refreshed, protected, and glowing.
Face
1. Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35
I don’t wear much makeup in the summer since a base tan is usually enough. This tinted moisturizer provides just the right coverage with a dewy finish and built-in SPF 35 for sun protection.
2. LAWLESS Summer Skin Velvet Matte Bronzer
My go-to bronzer for a natural sun-kissed look. Talc-free, clean, and blends effortlessly for a radiant finish.
3. ILIA Lip Balm
Summer can dry out lips just like winter! This clean lip balm hydrates with sunflower seed oil, avocado oil, and shea butter for a natural dewy finish.
Hair & Body
4. Prose Custom Hair Mask
Pre-shampoo mask packed with jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, oat oil, and mango butter. Use 1–2 times per week for hydrated, soft hair after sun exposure.
5. Nécessaire Body Lotion
Fragrance-free, lightweight but effective, and non-irritating. Perfect for all skin types, applied daily.
6. Ouai St. Barts Scalp & Body Scrub
Exfoliate during summer to keep skin smooth. I use this twice a week for a luxurious, clean finish.
Sun Protection & Glow
7. Beautycounter Countersun Daily Sheer Defense SPF 25
Lightweight, fast-absorbing, reef-friendly sunscreen. Clean, effective, and perfect for summer (or any season!).
8. +Lux Unfiltered Bronzing Face Drops
Fragrance-free, antioxidant-rich, and compatible with all skin types. Adds effortless sunkissed color.
9. +Lux Unfiltered Gradual Self-Tanner
My ultimate sunless tanning product. Build a natural glow daily or as needed without harmful ingredients.
Summer Refresh & Skincare Tools
10. Amazon Face Ice Roller
Cooling and depuffing, perfect for beating the heat. Just $13–$15, but feels like a luxury treat.
11. Nécessaire Deodorant
Clean, aluminum- and baking soda-free, with mandelic acid to deodorize and mineral complex for comfort. Unscented is my favorite.
12. Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks
Post-sun, poolside, or just for cooling relief. Tightens and firms the under-eye area in just 20 minutes. Use code AMY20 for a discount.
These essentials keep me feeling fresh, protected, and glowing all summer long. From clean skincare and makeup to haircare and tools, these products make the season a breeze!
