Summer Skin Care Routine
Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen! You’ve heard it before, and we all know it’s true… but slathering on sunscreen is an absolute must! Not only is it essential for our beach, lake, and pool days… but I make sure my daily makeup routine includes sunscreen for my face and under eye concealer, too!
What’s in my Makeup Drawer:
Almay Spart Shade CC Cream – SPF 35
My daily makeup routine includes this color correcting foundation with an SPF 35. I love how it evens out my skin tone, too!
Aveeno Positively Radiant CC Eye Cream – SPF 25
What’s in my Beach Bag:
Water Resistant Coppertone Sport – SPF 30
I’ve been using this exact sunscreen for years, and works so well… even in the water!
Hawaiian Tropic Lip Balm – SPF 45
There’s nothing worse than burning your lips… so I always make sure this lip balm comes along with me to the beach, too! Plus… it tastes SO yummy! 😉 Just a little added bonus.
Scrub and Exfoliate! 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 Sponges, and Coconut Oil Sugar Scrubs! By the way… did you know making your own sugar scrub is ridiculously easy?
What’s in my Bathroom:
DIY Vanilla Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub
Moisturize 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 + Moisturizing Body Wash + Active Naturals Lotion to be my favorite combination for seriously silky smooth skin!
What’s in my Bathroom:
Favorite Razor: Venus Spa Breeze
I love how this razor lathers and glides for extra silky skin without knicks!
Favorite Shower Gel: Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash
As opposed to soap, this body wash will leave skin soft and moisturized!
My Favorite Lotion: Aveeno Active Naturals Lotion
Within your first few minutes of hopping out of the shower or bath, make sure to lather up with lotion and lock in all of that moisture! My favorite by far is this Aveeno Active Naturals Lotion!
Cover Up! 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… whenever I’m headed out in the sun for an extended period of time, I’ve got some sort of hat or visor with me, too!
What’s in my Closet:
Favorite Beach Hat: Big Floppy Hat
Here’s my favorite trusty beach hat… and it always comes along on every beach vacation!
Favorite Active Visor: Nike Dri-Fit Visor
I absolutely adore my Nike dri-fit visor! It’s so lightweight and my faithful tagalon for tennis, hiking, and other outdoor activities! I actually have 2… one regular and one big bill.
Night Creams! 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: Olay Professional ProX Wrinkle Smoothing Cream
To fade dark circles under eyes: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream
And to fade dark spots: L’Oreal Youth Code Serum Corrector

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.
