The Ultimate List Of Summer Must Have Beauty Essentials

For me summer is all about light and calming moisturizers, hydrating serums and sun protection, fresh and soothing face/body mists for an instant beauty boost and just a touch of glowy makeup.

SUN SCREEN should definitely be at the top of everyone's must have beauty essential list, and not just during summer but all year around. 

My favorite SPF: Lancaster Sun Beauty Sublime Tan 30+ and La-Roche Posay Anthelios Fluid 50+

HYDRATING SERUMS. 

Pixi Hydrating Milky Serum -silky smooth and lightweight, nutrient rich gives a burst of hydration with calming effects. (pr gifted )

The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics, a watery texture that sinks in fast and without stickiness. high in algae ( marine derivates ), polysaccharides, proteins that are sustainably sourced from marine bacteria, along with glycerine and amino acids. Lovely stuff!

 

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum has a new formula, improved to work faster and penetrate skin to its deeper layers. The new formula also includes Hyaluronic acid, ideal for dullness and loss of firmness and radiance, dehydration, uneven skin tone and multiple signs of ageing. Same light beautiful texture as before, this serum can be used also in your morning routine to help protect skin from environmental damage (pollution, ozone, blue light, infrared and micro dust).

Lierac Hydragenist Moisturizing Serum (oxygenating and re-plumping ), a fresh, ultra delicate, luxurious and deeply hydrating serum, re-plums skins and gives amazing radiance. 

 

CALMING  MOISTURIZERS
