Summertime beauty and skincare favorites I’m loving right now.
I’ve really dove into skincare during quarantine and found a few new-to-me favorites. Since I’m always curious about other people’s skincare, I thought I’d share mine. Let me know if any of my favorites have made your list too.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has been all the rage on the beauty blogs I read so when the Sephora birthday gift happened to be Bum Bum cream, I was beyond excited. And instantly loved it. The smell reminds me of a beachy summer vacation. It’s coconutty, sweet, and smells delicious. IDK if it works to tighten skin while moisturizing but I caved and bought a full-size because it smells and feels glorious on my skin.
Versed Dew Point Moisturizing Gel is a great light-weight summertime moisturizer. I love the gel formula because it doesn’t feel greasy under my makeup but still leaves my face feeling hydrated. I use this as my daytime moisturizer. The price is right too at just $14 and it’s lasted 4-months!
Honesty Beauty Oil is something I use every evening. It took me a while to warm up to oils but I really like it. This one has a light, pleasant smell and I like the way it moisturizes my face right before bed. After regularly using the oil, I found my skin feels more hydrated in the morning when I wake up.
Tip: Oil should always be the last thing you apply to your skin (day or night) unless of course you’re using sunscreen then put the sunscreen on last.
Ole Hendricksen Cold Plunge Mask has been a summertime staple. It’s a cooling clay mask that reduces pore size and controls oil. It’s perfect after a day in the sun and makes me feel extra fancy anytime I wear it. Plus the color makes it fun. I use this twice a week after exfoliating.
Tula Rose Glow & Get It Brightening & Cooling Eye Balm perks up my eyes each morning. It has some shimmer in it along with a cooling effect and a burst of caffeine to make sure I look extra perky on those early morning Zoom calls. It’s easy to apply too, just run it along your eye bags and Boom! You’re bright and ready to get it.
Tip: Did you know you should apply skincare products from your hairline to your bra line? Because when you’re 80, you don’t want to have a youthful-looking face with saggy neck and decolletage, do you? Make sure you cover all of it so you age flawlessly 😉
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches pair well with the Cold Plunge Mask or before using the Tula Rose Eye Balm. I keep these in the fridge for an extra cooling effect and pop them on in the morning while drinking coffee. They have cucumber and caffeine in them to help de-puff eyes and reduce dark circles.
Tip: You can find these eye patches at Walmart online for $28 compared to $52 at Ulta, Sephora, or Amazon. Save some money!
Cocokind Vitamin C Serum is something that took me a while to start using regularly but once I did, I noticed my skin looked brighter, fresher. Vitamin C helps even out your skin and is said to help with aging (wrinkles!). I like the Cocokind serum because it’s not too pricey and seems to actually work.
Got any beauty or skincare favorites you’re loving? I’d love to know about them. Tell me in the comments!
