Planning some fun in the sun this Summer?  Before you head outside, check out my Summer Skin Care Routine with my top secrets and natural hacks to keep your skin happy and healthy this sunny season!

When it comes to Summer, I LOVE being outside!  Now being that I live in Arizona, that means lots of pool days, lazy rivers, and relaxing at the lake.  And don’t forget about vacations… you couldn’t keep me away from the Beach if you tried!  Whether it’s sunny Southern California, or tropical Hawaii, that’s where you’ll find me in the Summer!

But guess what… all of that sunshine can wreak havoc on your skin during the Summer!  But don’t worry… over the years I’ve fine tuned my summer skin care routine with some AMAZING clean and natural products, and can’t wait to share some of my top secrets and Beauty Hacks with you…

#1: Guzzle That Water… All Day Long!

Water Skincare Routine

Did you know our bodies are made up of something crazy like 60% of water?  That’s a LOT of water, right?  Well, that’s why it’s so important to stay hydrated all day long, and guess what… your skin will LOVE you for it!  Trust me, water can help clear it up and transform your skin from the inside out!

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is drink down a big glass of water… after sleeping all night, my body is begging for some hydration.  Then I keep one of my favorite Hanalei mason jars near me all day long.  Aren’t they so cute?  I picked them up at my favorite Shave Ice spot on Kauai, and I refill them over and over and over again.  Whether I’m working at my desk, or working out, I try to drink about 4 more jars throughout the day.

Then when I head out for a long evening walk with my hubby, I fill up my reusable Yeti, and drink that down as we walk and talk.  Then I try to squeeze in 2 more glasses of water as the day winds down.  I’m in love the fun beachy color of this tumbler!!  It was the best birthday gift from my hubby last year!

#2: Keep Those Lips Kissable With Lip Balm!

Summer Lip Balm

As Napoleon Dynamite once said… “Can you bring me my Chapstick?  My lips hurt real bad!”

From the blowing wind to scorching rays, our lips can sure take a beating in the Summer, so to make sure my lips aren’t feeling like Napoleon’s, I always have my tinted lip balm handy during the day!

I love that it can hydrate and soothe your lips with shea butter, while still giving you that perfect pretty tint all day long!  I’ve tried plenty of shades, but I’m completely in love with the Red Dahlia color.

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm

If I’m heading outside in the sun though, some Natural Lip Balm with SPF is a must! There’s nothing worse than burning your lips… so I always make sure this lip balm comes along with me to the lake or beach, too!  These are my favorites…

Alba Botanica or Burt’s Bees SPF Lip Balm

Then at night right before bed, this is what I use to soften my lips as I sleep…

#3: Don’t Forget the Sunscreen!

Best Summer Skin Care Routine and Tricks from TheFrugalGirls.com

Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen!  You’ve heard it before, and we all know it’s true… but slathering on sunscreen is an absolute must!  It’s just one of those essentials for our beach, lake, and pool days.  Sunscreen can take awhile to absorb, so I like to apply it 30 minutes before heading outside.

Then… don’t forget to reapply throughout the day!  The reflection of the water can do a doozy on your skin.  Consider setting your phone’s alarm as a reminder of when you need to apply again… I like to reapply at least every two hours.

Here’s my favorite mineral sunscreen that I’m never caught without…

Water Resistant Aveeno Positively Mineral Sunscreen – SPF 50

#4: Even-Out and Add Some Glow with Foundation and Blush!

After the sunscreen goes on and is absorbed, I like to even-out and add some glow to my face with some foundation and blush!

Following are my favorite pressed powder and blush, that I’m completely obsessed with…

Burt’s Bees Natural Powder Foundation

I’ve used the Bamboo shade for a few years now, and absolutely LOVE it!  It does such a great job of evening out my skin tone, and hiding any blemishes.

Burt's Bees Natural Foundation Blush

Burt’s Bees Natural Blush with Vitamin E

This is my absolute FAVORITE blush ever!  I use the Peach color, and love the gorgeous sun-kissed glow it gives along my cheek bones!

Then… at night when it’s time to remove your makeup, use these miracle cloths to remove your makeup naturally… just with water.  I know it sounds crazy, but they are the BEST invention ever!!  You seriously need to try these.

#5: Stay in the Shade from 10 – 2

Now I know you’ve heard it said before, but it really is true… the sun’s harshest rays and most intense sun can happen from 10am – 2pm.  So do whatever you can to find some shade during those hours.

If you’re at home going for a walk, just head out in the morning or evening. If you’re at the beach, take along an SPF Beach Umbrella or sun canopy to create your own shade!  Trust me… your skin will thank you!

#6: Always Cover Up When You’re in the Sun!

As we all know… wrinkles and some sun spots are inevitable, but you can definitely minimize them!  In addition to sunglasses pretty much all of the time to protect my eyes and the skin around my eyes, hats are a must, too!  Whenever I’m headed out in the sun for an extended period of time, I’ve always got some sort of hat or visor with me.

Big Floppy Hats are a Must!

Here’s my favorite trusty beach hat… and it always comes along on every beach vacation!

Or for days when I’m out hiking, playing tennis, or working in the yard, I use my lightweight Nike Dri-Fit Visor!

#7: Soften Your Skin with Natural Bath Salts!

Who doesn’t love an excuse for a luxurious soak in the bath after a long day?  Well as you start your bath water… be sure to add in some Epsom Bath Salts.  It can help soften any rough skin and soothe irritated skin!  I love adding essential oils to my bath salts for a dreamy bathtime scent, too!  Be sure to make your own, and you’ll save SO much money!

#8: Exfoliate with DIY Coconut Oil Sugar Scrubs!

Keeping your skin exfoliated keeps it looking so much younger!  I’ve found some of the simplest ways to slough off those pesky old dead skin cells are with Loofahs, Bath Poufs, and Coconut Oil sugar scrubs! By the way… did you know making your own sugar scrub is ridiculously easy?

#9: Then Moisturize with Body Butter for the Smoothest Skin Ever!

Every girl loves smooth skin, and I’ve found a few tricks that work like a charm!  So of course… first you’ll exfoliate, like we talked about above.  Then it’s time to shave, and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!  I’ve found a Smooth Razor + Natural Shea Body Butter right after the shower to be my favorite combination for seriously silky smooth skin!

Nothing beats seriously smooth skin… and this easy Whipped Body Butter Recipe is the perfect solution!  It’s absolutely luxurious… and I am completely hooked. Within your first few minutes of hopping out of the shower or bath, make sure to lather up with body butter to lock in all of that moisture!

#10: Don’t Forget this Miracle Night Serum!

So I know I could stay inside all day and have some seriously pretty skin, but the problem is… I’m in love with the beach, lake, and swimming pools!  So… that means night time is kind of like repair time around here.  Following are some key components in my night time skin routine.

What’s in my Bathroom Cabinet:

To smooth out wrinkles, fade pesky sun spots, and brighten up those dark circles that can sneak up under my eyes, argain oil is my answer!

    This is such a great list! I want to try that CC eye cream. I wanted to share two of my favorites for my routine – I use the foaming skin polish from Yu-Be Skin Care three times a week to exfoliate because it gets that perfect balance of gentle and tough enough, and also their moisturizer twice a day because it balances out my skin that’s dry in winter and oily in summer.
