My Summer Beauty Routine

Summer is a time I have a perpetual sweat ‘stache and everything melts off my face–I am THE sweatiest person on the planet. With that being said, I have a minimal summer beauty routine that makes me feel pulled together, but light and easy to wear during the hot, humid months in Michigan.

Skincare Musthaves for Summer

Day and night, I’ve been using Shea Moisturizer face oil–it says overnight face oil, but my face is dry enough that I use it in the morning before make up and at night after my evening shower. If my skin is feeling extra dry, I’ll add the Summer Fridays mask on top of the oil!

My skin is always dry and so I’ve continued to use Summer Fridays jet lag mask at night before bed at least two to three times a week. I slather it on like moisturizer and just leave it on, not actually using it as a mask. It’s available in travel size if you don’t want to commit to a full product size just yet!

I also swear by Caudalie Beauty Elixer. I spray this on my face in the morning before the face oil and midday when I need a refresh, I spritz this on my face. Plus, it just feels refreshing on a hot day.

My Beauty Routine

For foundation, I use IT Cosmetics CC cream with SPF 50, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer with 30 SPF or Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer (in cream or stick!) I love IT Cosmetics for the coverage and SPF level! I’ve been using the Bare Minerals tinted moisturizer stick lately–25 SPF and is easier to throw in my bag for touch ups.

If I want a little contour, I’ve been using Fenty Beauty Match Stix skinstick in amber. I prefer a cream over powder in the summer and I love this product. The color is perfect on my skin, not too warm like most contour products.

When it’s hot, I skip concealer and powder and just embrace a dewy finish! Sometimes I add a little highlighter using BECCA shimmering skin perfector. I just dab a bit along the top of my cheekbone and on my brow bone and good to go!

For lips, I try to incorporate a product with SPF–I always forget to use SPF on my lips and burn them, so this Sun Bum balm is a huge help.

Skincare/Beauty Services that Help Me Go Low Maintenance

I can skip mascara for the most part thanks to a lash lift and tint–giving my lashes a strong curl and deep color without mascara. I also get monthly brow wax and tints which also helps me look pulled together without much effort!
