As we ease back into office routines, school schedules, or daily activities, it's the perfect time to revive good beauty habits. Maintain that enviable tan, repair sun-stressed hair, and reveal a rested complexion. Drawing from years of beauty expertise, here are our top tips to start the season glowing.
After a rejuvenating summer, your face feels refreshed and soothed, with a radiant, even complexion. Say goodbye to dark circles and fatigue. To preserve this summer glow, incorporate radiance-boosting and vitamin-rich treatments. Daily, use a radiance serum for illumination and tone evening—try Denovo's Illumine Radiance Serum with beta-carotene, white mulberry extracts, and AHAs, or Balance Me Face Radiance Oil, a blend of glow-enhancing plant oils (rosehip, camellia, buriti, grapeseed, sweet almond). For lasting hydration around the eyes, apply PHB Ethical Beauty Radiance Concealer Eye Contour Gel morning and evening. Infused with aloe vera, birch juice, and neroli, it boosts circulation and comforts delicate skin. Your complexion stays luminous well into fall!
Extend that golden tanned complexion with simple, expert steps. Hydrate post-sun skin with a cooling moisturizing milk. Exfoliate weekly to slough off dead cells and lock in your tan—gently, of course. For the face, Absolution Exfoliating Cream pairs mechanical microbeads with enzymatic fruit acids from lemon, orange, and blueberry. On the body, Univeda's Tranquil Vanilla Body Scrub with shea butter and plant oils evokes summer scents. Follow with nourishing oils or rich creams, massaging tanned areas. Face favorites include Centifolia's Organic Carrot Oily Macerate or Pai Skincare's Bioregenerate Wild Rose Oil for a subtle glow. Boost melanin naturally with a beta-carotene cure from carrots, melon, mango, lamb's lettuce, spinach, apricots, or parsley—its antioxidant power shields cells from free radicals.
Enhance your "healthy glow" with light, natural makeup. Correct imperfections with Inika's fluid concealer for flawless coverage. Even out with a BB cream or Lily Lolo's Mineral Foundation SPF15, which blends seamlessly. Add warmth via puroBIO's Resplendent Bronzing Powder and reflect light with Inika's Light Reflect Cream Highlighter on the chin hollow, Cupid's bow, nose bridge, brow bone, and cheekbones. Finish with Colorisi's pigmented natural lipsticks in shades like "vineyard peach" or "matte red" for a feminine pop.
Summer's sun, sea, and heat can damage hair. Select a shampoo for your hair type, paired with conditioner for detangling. For dry, fragile strands, Less is More Mallowsmooth nourishing shampoo and conditioner with marshmallow extracts and coconut oil repair and protect. Weekly, apply a mask like Maternatura Sunflower Seed Repair Hair Mask with sunflower, moringa seed oils, and linseed for soft, shiny results. Post-shampoo, mid-lengths get John Masters Organics Pink and Apricot Moisturizing Hair Milk or Denovo Milky Cream for fine/oily hair; very dry hair loves Kozmetics Argan and Avocado Hair Oil or Unique Vitamin F Nourishing Hair Serum. Detangle effortlessly with Centifolia's organic leave-in lotion—featured this month in your box!
Capture summer with monoï, vanilla, coconut, and citrus notes. Exfoliate gently with Kivvi Cosmetics Sweet Orange Exfoliating Shower Gel, then nourish via Océopin Maritime Pine Seed Dry Oil for revitalizing pine and mimosa fragrance. For hair, indulge in coconut oil or Belesa's Oli Preciosa Essential Precious Oil—bewitching with sweet almond, olive, hemp from the Cévennes, argan, camelina, and more—for nourished, softened locks and skin.
