How to Achieve Glowy Skin for Summer

We can’t be the only ones chasing that summer glow! The summer months are finally almost here and to get ahead, we are nailing our plan for radiant skin, without the sun damage. First and foremost, SPF is essential on a daily basis throughout the year, with several reapplications in the summer with sun exposure. No matter what your skin type is, you need to be using sun protection. We can achieve a radiant complexion from the right skincare and makeup products for that natural glow. We’re breaking down our favorite makeup and skincare products for that dewy finish and perfect skin glow this summer.

Skincare Products

There are so many great skin care products that will give you that glowing complexion. Dewy skin needs to start with the perfect canvas and that comes from the right products. Take your skin type into account and cater to that to begin with. So if you have sensitive skin, be mindful of the harsh actives that could be in some products. While those who have oily skin might want options that are a bit more mattifying. There are tons of great bronzing lotions and drops and they make these in body lotion formats, too. For those that want a hint of shimmer, opt for water-based serums that can be blended easily. We recommend steering clear of anything that has more prominent glitter specks in it, just because those tend to be difficult to wash off, especially with consistent use.

Makeup Finds

For our summer makeup routine, we are prioritizing products that have a bronzing look. An absolute must for us is the Saie glowy super gel. We consistently use this both under makeup and on it’s own for that healthy skin look and extra glowy boost. Now is the perfect opportunity to try out newer summer products right before the season starts. Highlighters are a really great way to get into the glowy look but starting slow. You can put them on the high points of your face to add more of a subtle glow rather than a full on bronzed goddess look. Another simple way to get started is with primers. These go underneath makeup but still shine overtop of them, giving a radiant summer look.

Additional Elements

Finally, achieving that summer glow goes beyond a consistent skincare routine an new makeup products. Two of the best skincare tips are enough sleep and to drink plenty of water. Living a healthy lifestyle can show through your skin and is one of the best summer skincare tips. We also love staying on top of getting facials. Having a conversation with an esthetician is one great way to achieve a healthy summer glow with good products that are for your skin type in the warmer months. And with all of the outdoor activities coming up, a mineral sunscreen or sunscreen spray is perfect to keep in your bag for on the go for reapplications. The work you put in for hydration and sleep plays a huge role in how your skin can look and enjoying gut friendly probiotics can also be helpful!
