Happy summer solstice to those who celebrate!!! For me, this time of year means a little less moisturizer and a lot more sunscreen. If you’re thinking about switching up your skincare routine, sharing some of my seasonal favorites below.
As always, I may receive commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post (at no cost to you). I only share things I use and love.
I recently started following Sofie Pavitt, also known as the “acne whisperer,” and she blew my mind with this tip: if you’re at all acne prone, don’t start with an oil for your double cleanse. Instead, try micellar water on a cotton round for your first cleanse, followed by a gel cleanser. I bought her micellar water pads and they’re perfect for travel, when I don’t want to pack a big bottle. Would also be great for a gym bag! I need to try the frozen toner pods next.
For a second cleanse, the Rhode pineapple cleanser is still my favorite. I also love the glazing milk post toner - you can use it on your body too for a little extra juice. Did you guys see that they launched new lip tints and blushes last week?! I can’t wait to get mine in the mail.
Most days, you’ll find me wearing sunscreen and not much in the way of makeup. On days I have a lot of video calls or any in person meetings, I’ll mix a little of this tinted sunscreen and this liquid bronzer into my everyday EltaMD - it creates the perfect tint that gives you just enough coverage without feeling like a full face of product.
Lastly, I mentioned this moisturizing body stone during the most recent Sephora sale and let me tell you, I’m obsessed. I hate putting on lotion but this is surprisingly not messy, and it absorbs quickly. I like to use it before bed or on my way out the door. I gifted it to my mom (hi Mom!!!) and she loves it too.
Stay cool and don’t forget to wear your SPF! xx
