BEAUTY BANTER: SUMMER REFRESHERS
We think there's a singular, underlying desire when it comes to a summer beauty routine: there shouldn't be much of one. Unfussy, super low-maintenance makeup and hair is favored when the sun is high—and with that, humidity, sticky air, blazing temps, sweat, and other obstacles not so helpful to the mission of looking lovely. All is not lost: here are some sensational sun-friendly products that will punch up your makeup and hair surf or pool side.
SWIFT SPF
Sunscreen is an absolute must, but so often SPF for your face can feel greasy—not good considering sweat is expected. Try this quick and simple SPF 30 towelette by Tocca. It's sweat-resistant and feels like a rejuvenating face-wipe. If you're looking to achieve that natural pretty with minimal effort, look to these refreshing finds that will keep you looking polished and breezy.
CORAL
Super bright, citrusy red and orange nail colors are the perfect swatch to embrace during summer. They look great with sun-kissed skin, and they compensate for dialed, desaturated back makeup.
WATERPROOF PEEPS
Beauty will stay in tact on the eyes of the beholder with waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Try an eyeliner in a marine hue like teal to inject a little color.
UV BLOCKING BEACHY TRESSES
Especially by day and when you're outside, nix the heating tools and use some texturizing spray to get beachy waves. Pick products with SPF protection to help minimize damage, apply after a shower and towel-dry or semi-dry your hair with a dryer to get the piece-y keen look.
FAUX GLOW
Heighten the look of your tan with bronzers. Try this organic bronzing creme from Nature's Gate—mix in a quarter-sized amount of the stuff with a quarter-sized amount of moisturizer or sunscreen if you'll be outside, to ensure flawless streak-free blending. Dust a bronzer power to your cheeks, nose, and forehead, or try a tanning towelette when you're on the go for a quick tan on the go.
