We’re ready to lie out in the sand and soak up the sun until we’re dangerously dehydrated. That’s what summer’s all about, right? But we still need to take care of our skin and hair so we can step into the summer of ‘25 looking like bronzed goddesses.
Thank goodness for these life-saving products! From after-sun aloe gels to sweet-smelling sunscreens and cooling facial mists, these are essential summer beauty products if you want to enjoy the season without sacrificing your sleek and beautiful hair and skin.
1. Malibu C Malibu Blondes Wellness Hair Remedy
If you have light-colored hair, especially a glam platinum-bleached look, be careful with your water fun this summer. Chlorine can turn it green, the sun can turn it brassy yellow, and even the ocean can discolor it. Be sure to take care of it with products like the Malibu Blondes Wellness Hair Remedy, a life-saving purple treatment that will even out your tone and bring that breezy blonde color back.
2. Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench® Ice-Facial Cooling Mist
For those extra spicy days when it feels like the sun is inching closer to Earth, spritz yourself with this Ice-Facial Cooling Mist to chill out. The icy sensation is more refreshing than a sticky popsicle in the heat. Treat yourself to it when you get home after a day in the sun, or bring it with you wherever you go for a burst of coolness when you need it the most.
3. Odele Purple Shampoo and Conditioner
Blonde hair requires more maintenance during the summer — that’s why our favorite purple shampoo and conditioner duo is from Odele. These hair products are highly pigmented to help keep your hair tone even and gorgeous. They neutralize brassy or orange tones, while hydrating and nourishing hair, leaving it silky smooth.
4. Supergoop! Glowscreen Soft-Radiance Drops Mineral SPF 40
Your summer beauty product list isn’t complete without Supergoop! Sunscreen. When it comes to SPF, this brand just gets it. And the Glowscreen Soft-Radiance Drops Mineral SPF 40 are particularly wonderful. The SPF 40 protection stops signs of aging and sun damage, while the radiants formula gives your skin a heavenly glow. Our favorite part is Supergoop! products don’t have that medicinal-like sunscreen smell that we all know and hate.
5. Image Skincare ORMEDIC® balancing facial cleanser
With all the sweat, sunscreen, and salt water. It’s easy for your facial skin’s pH to be thrown out of whack. This can lead to acne, irritation, and other issues. Thankfully, you can easily rebalance your skin’s pH with Image Skincare’s luxurious facial cleanser. It’s soothing and will save your skin from a wonky pH this summer.
6. Glossier Lip Glaze Hydrating Cooling Sheer Lip Oil
If you think an ice-cold mojito is refreshing for your taste buds, wait until you try this Cooling Sheer Lip Oil from Glossier. Its tingly cold texture will make you feel chilled in an instant. It never gets sticky, and the cooling sensation can last for over an hour. But no worries, because you can always reapply if you’re itching for more iciness.
This weightless sunscreen is perfect if you want to block UV rays completely and keep your skin safe. Youthscreen’s SPF 60 Protection is sure to assuage sun damage and signs of aging. It also has pollution protection, blocking impurities and toxins so your skin can stay healthy.
8. Supergoop! Glow Gloss SPF 40 Lip Balm with Peptides and Shea Butter
Another must-have Supergoop! product for this summer is the Glow Gloss SPF 40 Lip Balm. Lip skin is extra sensitive to sun damage, so don’t forget to protect it. The lip gloss has a dramatic, high-shine finish and cheeky pink hue, leaving you with a subtle tint and soft, hydrated lips.
9. Mario Badescu Mini Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber, and Green Tea
Keep your face hydrated and happy with this super-nourishing spray. It’s formulated with aloe, cucumber, and green tea — three powerhouse ingredients that will deliver antioxidants and hydration. Plus, the sweet cucumber scent is light and watery, perfect for summer vibes. We highly recommend grabbing a travel-sized Mario Badescu Mini Facial Spray to carry with you all season.
10. Kopari Beauty Coconut Hydrating Body Wash with Aloe and Sea Kelp
Kopari Beauty Coconut Hydrating Body Wash is made with clean ingredients that are gentle on sensitive skin. You can moisturize yourself from head to toe with this tropical-smelling wash. The gel lathers into a rich foam that will cleanse away sand and salt without stripping your skin’s natural oils. It’s also packed with vitamins and antioxidants, helping your skin’s pH stay balanced.
11. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Rescue Skin Barrier Balm + Mask with Dimethicone
If you forget to apply your SPF, don’t be too hard on yourself, girl. No one’s perfect, and First Aid Beauty knows that. They’re here to help soothe and repair sun damage with this Ultra Repair Rescue Skin Barrier Balm + Mask. The concentrated formula uses dimethicone to create a protective layer, healing damage while preventing further distress.
And to soothe that nasty sunburn you got on vacation, Anthropologie sells this terriff After Sun Gel that’s formulated with aloe and a chilly texture that eases the sting. Whether you get a tad toastier than planned or like a boiled lobster with peeling skin, this fabulous gel will take good care of you and your skin. After a burn or intense tan, the least you can do for your precious skin is give it this gift.
