When it comes to summer skincare, my main goals are lightweight hydration, a healthy glow, and of course — SPF, always. I want my skin to feel fresh, dewy, and protected while still giving that effortless summer radiance.
Today I’m sharing exactly what I’ve been using for both my face and body to keep my skin glowing, hydrated, and protected all season long. Let’s get into it:
☀️ Morning Routine: Glow + Protect
Summer mornings are all about layering hydration with protection, but I like to keep it light and breathable — especially in the heat.
1. Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum
I start my day with this brightening serum. It gives my skin that boost of radiance while targeting any dullness or uneven tone. Vitamin C is key for protecting your skin from environmental damage (especially when paired with SPF).
2. Naturium Dew-Glow Moisturizer SPF 50
This is my ride-or-die for daily sunscreen. It’s a moisturizer and an SPF, so it simplifies my routine. It has the prettiest, dewy finish — never greasy — and makes my skin look instantly healthy and fresh.
3. ILIA Bright Start Eye Cream
I finish my morning routine with this lightweight eye cream. It’s cooling, de-puffing, and layers beautifully under makeup. Plus, it has a slight illuminating effect that helps me look more awake, even on those sleepy mornings.
🌙 Evening Routine: Repair + Nourish
Nighttime is when I focus on repairing and replenishing my skin barrier, especially after long days in the sun.
1. Lendava Face Wash
This gentle cleanser removes the day’s makeup, SPF, and sweat without stripping my skin.
2. Lendava Retinol
Retinol is my go-to for refining skin texture, boosting collagen, and helping with any unevenness. I love how Lendava’s formula is gentle enough for regular use but still super effective.
3. Lendava Goodnight Cream
I lock everything in with this rich, nourishing cream. It feels like a treat for my skin — especially after retinol — and I wake up feeling plump and glowy.
✨ Body Care Favorites for Glowing Skin
I’m all about giving the body the same level of attention as the face during the summer months. Glowing arms and legs? Yes, please.
1. Tree Hut Exfoliating Body Scrub (Tahitian Vanilla Bean or Tropical Glow)
I use this in the shower a few times a week to exfoliate and keep my skin soft and smooth. It’s perfect for prepping before shaving or applying self-tanner.
2. Kopari Golden Aura Body Oil
This body oil is heavenly — lightweight, golden, and smells like vacation. It gives my skin that sun-kissed sheen without feeling heavy or sticky.
3. Hempz Body Lotion (Original or Sweet Pineapple & Honey Melon)
To lock in the moisture, I mix a pump of this with the Kopari oil right after showering. The result? Ultra-glowy, soft skin that looks amazing with summer dresses, shorts, and swimsuits.
💧 My Summer Skincare Philosophy
Lightweight layers, hydration first, SPF always. I want my skin to look fresh and healthy, not heavy with product — and this routine gives me exactly that. Plus, adding in that body care routine makes everything feel extra special.
