Summer has finally come to an end and I couldn’t be happier. I know a lot of people really enjoy summer but I am definitely not one of those people. I can’t wait for the leaves to start changing color and for it to get colder.
During the summer I definitely prefer a more simple skincare routine. I’ve compiled my most used products of the summer and listed them all down below for you to check out.
Skincare
Cleanser: All summer I have been loving the Glossier Milk Jelly Cleanser. It’s gentle on my skin, the scent isn’t overpowering, and it doesn’t dry out my face. I use it in the mornings and at night when I am not wearing any makeup.
Exfoliator: I started using the Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 in August and I am still using it now. This is a product that I have mixed feelings about. The scent is a little too strong for me, but it doesn’t dry out or irritate my skin.
Serum: Serums and oils are two things that I love when it comes to skincare. My go-to serums have been the Glossier Super Bounce and the Moon Juice Beauty Shroom. The Super Bounce serum instantly makes my face feel hydrated. The Moon Juice Beauty Shroom also made my skin feel and look more hydrated. The Beauty Shroom serum is a little bit sticky, but I don’t mind since I only use it at night.
The Glossier Super Glow is one that I don’t really know how I feel about. I don’t know if it actually did anything to my skin. I didn’t see any difference in my skin over the time that I used it. I had purchased all three of the Glossier serums and used all three over the summer.
Oil: The only oil that I used during the summer was the Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil. I love how soft and smooth my skin feels after I use this oil. It is blue, but it didn’t stain my white sheets so I am really happy about that.
Eye Cream: Ren products are amazing. There hasn’t been a Ren product that I have tried that I don’t like. This Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel is gentle and doesn’t sting or irritate my eyes.
Moisturizer: My favorite moisturizer by Kiehl’s had to make this list; I love it. I used the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream on days when I felt I needed it. On certain days my face felt fine with just serum and I wouldn’t need to apply moisturizer.
Sunscreen: This year I struggled with finding the perfect face sunscreen. If you have any recommendations please let me know. I tried the Super Fluid Daily UV Defense sunscreen by Kiehl’s and it was okay. My biggest problem with it is that it crumbles off my skin if i rub it in. I have to be careful and pat it on my skin for it not too come off. I like it enough to finish it, but I probably won’t buy this again.
Body Moisturizer: Raw Sugar products became some of my favorite products this year. They smell amazing. The Raw Coconut + Mango Body Butter is my favorite. My skin feels so soft after I use it.
Hair
Dry Shampoo: My go-to dry shampoo is still the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk. My hair feels and smells clean when I use it.
Hair Oil: The Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil is great. It smells so good and my hair looks and feels super soft after I use it.
