Summer Must-Haves For Beauty!

As summer will soon approach and all of us will be bearing those hot, humid days, I wanted to make a post about MY Summer Must - Haves! Many of these beauty products items will save your summer days in the hot weather. Summer has not 'officially' started for me yet, considering that I still have a few school days left. If you have any OTHER Summer Must - Haves that you use every summer, just put it down in the comment section and I will be SURE to read them! Now onto the beauty products!

BEAUTY:
SPF 15 (or above) lip balm, face moisturizer, sunblock: SPF is ALWAYS important, especially in the summer. There are harmful rays in the sun that can damage your skin if you are not wearing, especially if you are at the beach or outside. Having lots of SPF products in the summer will keep your skin from getting burnt, but still give you a perfect tan.

Banana Boat Sport Sunblock Lotion (won't sweat off if you do sports in the summer)
Banana Boat Ultra Defense Sunblock SPF 50


Toner / Cleanser: As summer comes, everyones face is going to be getting a little oilier or drier, so a toner and a cleanser MIGHT be your best friends for the summer (skin care wise). Toners can take out all of the bad stuff in your face (for example, oils, dirt, bacteria) and make it cleaner, while a cleanser can remove dead skin cells, keep your pores from clogging, and can cause acne.

Tea Tree Water Toner from Lush (good for oily and combination skin types)
L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Face Cleanser (remember, there are different cleansers for different skin types for this cleanser)


Tinted Moisturizer: When you are outside and it is 90+ degrees outside, you DO NOT want your foundation, powder, AND concealer sweating off of your face now, do you? So a tinted moisturizer is always good in the summer. Now, there are some that actually come with SPF in them, so I do recommend buying one with SPF in it.

e.l.f Studio Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20
Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 (THIS ONE IS FOR MEDIUM SKIN. BUY ACCORDING TO COLOR)
* THERE ARE ONLY TWO SHADES TO THE AVEENO TINTED MOISTURIZER, FAIR TO LIGHT OR MEDIUM. THE LINK ABOVE IS TO MEDIUM. *


Body Scrub/ Buffer/ Exfoliant: Cellulite can be a big problem in the summer, and a scrub is always needed. Cellulite is caused by the sun and shows on the top layer of your skin. An exfoliant, buffer, or a scrub would be good for any kind of cellulite that you may have (common on thighs, arms, stomach, and neck). You should only exfoliate 1-2 a week, because you do not want to damage your skin.

Bath and Body Works Lemon and Pomegranate Body Scrub
Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub

Waterproof everything!: As you may be swimming during the day, sweating, or anything that involves a liquid on your face, waterproof makeup it is! Waterproof makeup is a MUST for girls in the summer who CANNOT live without their makeup, but don't want it to smear, smudge, or run. Waterproof mascaras and eyeliner are probably the two best kinds of waterproof makeup out there.

CoverGirl LashBlast Waterproof Mascara in Very Black
Revlon Color Stay Waterproof Eyeliner

Dry Shampoo: Since you maybe on the run during your summer vacation, dry shampoo might come in handy! If you have oily or greasy hair, this is going to help a ton. Don't have dry shampoo? Baby powder will work the SAME exact way in your hair as the dry shampoo.

Have a fashionable day!
