Ultimate List of the Best Products for Summer
As I’ve said before, I’m a complete product junkie and love to try new products of all kinds. Since I don’t use retinol in the summer, it’s the perfect time to experiment with all kinds of serums and creams. One serum that I’ve been using is the Mermaid Collagen Serum from Soon Skincare (maybe I just love the name). This serum restores collagen production, strengthens skin elasticity and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. It also provides deep hydration.

Also from soon skincare…I’ve loved their Clear Day Broad Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. It’s a mess free stick that glides on easily to cover your face, neck, chest, and any other body part that may take a peek at the sun. Antioxidant-rich chamomile and vitamin E soothe, hydrate, and ward off signs of premature aging, while stabilized vitamin C brightens and renews skin.

Soon Skincare $32
My very favorite new summer scent is Jo Malone Orange Peel Cologne. Every time I wear it, someone tells me how good I smell and asks me what I’m wearing. This scent isn’t sweet, but more woodsy and masculine which I love. It also comes in a cute little 1 ounce bottle that’s perfect for travel!

Sephora $75
I’m skipping around a little, but the new skincare line from SeroVital is amazing. The Comfort Bead Cleanser gently exfoliates leaving my skin feeling clean and ready to soak in the creams and serums that I’m slathering on at night. I use the Deep Moisture Recovery Whip which has the anti-aging effect of a serum in a comforting cream. Both of these products were developed just for mature skin.

When I’m on vacation and it’s hot and humid, I find that makeup isn’t something I want to fool with. A good tinted sunscreen, a swipe of lip gloss, a bit of bronzer and great eyebrows are about as much as I want to do. I’ve used Buxom Lip Glosses for years and love the colors and the plumping effect. This year, I also tried Two Faced High Shine lip Gloss in a sparkly pink and like it as well. The sunscreen I’m loving is by Revision Skincare and offers anti-aging tinted moisturizer with 100% mineral sunscreen SPF 45. It’s nice to have just a bit of natural coverage that doesn’t feel heavy on your skin. I use Anastasia Eyebrow pencils in taupe, and lots of different bronzers, but always something with a little bit of sparkle (bronzers linked in the boutique below)!

I’m sure I’ve tried every hair product out there for unruly curly beach hair. Some work better than others and I’ve found that the best solution is a hat! Having said that, I do want to take care of my hair and rotate several different products including Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask, Virtue Recovery Shampoo, Virtue Alpha Keratin Restorative Treatment Mask, Virtue 6-In-1 Styler and Virtue Healing Oil (my favorite).
