Summer skincare routine is, one of the most important routines in the year. Especially, when traveling to hot countries and being exposed to the sun for a very long time.
Yeah, having that nice summer tan is nice; but there are so many negative things associated with it as well. Including, premature aging and skin pigmentation. All of this definitely matters when you’re exposing your skin to the harsh sun rays. I wanted to share some of my skincare products, not just for summer but that I use year around.
When it comes to exposing your skin to the sun, remember that you have to protect yourself, especially your face. Sure, beach hats and sunglasses are fine, but you need a little more. I like to use SPF 35 on my face for that extra protection.
Hydration is key to smooth and healthy skin. No, not just a moisturizer but your water intake. During hotter months, you should increase your water intake a day so it helps repair your skin from the inside. From personal experience, growing up, I hated water. Yes, I still do. But it wasn’t until I started seeing how dehydrated and patchy my skin looked- that I figured two things out. I need to drink more water! And well, yes I need to take care of my skin.
Tatcha is an amazing skincare brand. Yes, it’s on the pricy side but what skincare line isn’t? I have a few favorite products from Tatcha that I’m going to be sharing with you today.
Silken Pore Perfecting SPF35 – Why it works? This sunscreen provides protection from harsh sun rays with pure, skin-loving ingredients. The silk extract leaves skin feeling silky-smooth. The Japanese wild rose helps tighten the look of pores and smooths skin texture. Silken Pore Perfecting SPF35 is great to wear as a primer under your makeup.
The Water Cream – ahhhh literally! My go to product! I love this so much. Why it works? It provides balanced hydration upon application without leaving the skin sticky or feeling greasy. It clarifies and refines the skin with pure Japanese wild rose and leopard lily. These pure botanicals help tighten pores, smooth skin texture and control excess oil. The Tatcha Water Cream also delivers anti-aging super foods. This is the one product everyone needs in their skin care routine. Did I mention, this is my favorite moisturizer?!
The Deep Cleanse – by far my favorite face wash ever! Why it works? A daily cleanser deeply but gently lifts impurities and unclogs pores, while leaving skin soft and hydrated. It’s oil-free and lathers into a creamy foam to lift away the dirt. Tatcha Deep Cleanse leaves your skin feeling softer than a baby’s bum.
The Rice Wash- ok this wins! I alternate between the deep cleanse and this rice wash every other day. Why it works? The Rice Wash is a super gentle cream cleanser that washes away daily buildup without stripping your skin. Its leaves your skin feeling so soft and gives you that radiant complexion.
The Rice Polish: Classic – is a foaming enzyme powder. This water- activated exfoliate transforms to a foam for a healthy glow. This is something I use one or twice a week and I love the results. Why it works? The Rice Polish promotes a natural skin turnover to instantly reveal a smooth, makeup-ready canvas. The Rice Polish this was one product I was hesitant to use from the beginning; and it was because it was so expensive. I wasn’t sure if it was worth it. After using it, I am so glad I invested into this product- it gives me such a radiant glow. For best results, I recommend you do a double cleanse. Use this Rice Polish along with the Deep Cleanse and watch your skin be silky smooth with that radiant glow.
Violet C- Vitamin C Brightening Serum- this serum brings me life. I use this everyday apart of my daily skincare routine. Why it works? This serum, helps reveal a translucent, youthful glow. Tatcha’s Vitamn C Brightening Serum resurfaces dull, uneven skin, while the Japanese root helps to reduce the look of dark spots, discoloration, and post-acne scarring. This works so well in the summer when you see an overall improvement on your skin tone.
We talked about hydration, and Summer Friday’s took it to another level. Their Jet Lag Mask drenches your skin in antioxidant rich hydration for that spa like glow. This mask is my favorite go to mask during the summer. It is the definition of hydration and what’s perfect is you only have to wipe off the excess with a warm cloth or towel—there is no need to rinse! This is the perfect hydration mask for your next inflight necessity.
Another go to product for your summer skincare routine should be, Mario Badescu’s Rose Water. This product is great to have on you at all times for a quick mid-day pick me up whenever you’re on the go. A great hydrating boost.
If you’re struggling to know where to start with a skincare routine, I highly recommend either going into a Sephora, or browsing their website. Every girl knows how much fun it is to go into Sephora but honestly I LOVE shopping for beauty products on their website. I love reading reviews, seeing what things are rated…and reading the detailed descriptions about a product. Sephora has such a HUGE selection of skincare products at all price points. I promise you’ll be able to find something there that works for you! (Or someTHINGS really).
I hope you enjoyed my summer skincare roundup. I would love to find out if you have tried any of my suggested products and if so, which ones and what were your thoughts?
-Xoxo
