Ever since I took my problem-skin to glowing-clear-skin several years ago, I’ve been ultra-serious about skincare. For me, it’s the number one “superfluous” thing I will spend money on without thinking twice about it—since having glowing and healthy skin really does contribute so greatly to my confidence level.
I’ve learned a lot over the years about skincare, and one of the holy grails is to constantly be checking in and addressing your skin’s needs—whether they be seasonal or hormonal. Or a mix of both! I add some of my favorite summer skincare products to my normal routine during the summer months, and I thought I would share those with you today! Let me know if any of these products are go-to’s for you as well. Skincare is such a big interest of mine and I love hearing about how other people feel about the products I love!

MDSolarSciences Mineral Tinted Creme SPF 30
$32
This is the tinted SPF I use all summer long, and I love it! It layers nicely under makeup, too. I really like having the option of a tint to even my complexion.
Beautycounter Countermatch Hydra-Gel Radiance Toner
$45
This toner is so nice for summer because it quenches my skin and gives me a pretty glow. I use it as needed to refresh my skin after showering or bathing, and under my SPF!
Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater
$12
I store this facial spray in the fridge, and mist my face throughout the day, or to set my makeup.
Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drop
$29
These self-tanner drops give me the prettiest glow as needed, and no damaging rays necessary.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Face Peel
$150 for pack of 60
These at-home peel pads are the best for removing dead skin cells and buildup, and restoring your glow! I use them a couple of times a week.
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask
$55
Get a little too much sun? This mask answers the SOS call with cooling cucumber.
MDSolarSciences Hydrating Sheer Lip Balm Blush SPF 30 in Pink
$16
I love this lip balm for summer! It’s super hydrating and has SPF 30.
Tula Detoxing & Toning Face Mask Stick
$34
I’m obsessed with Tula products, especially this detoxifying clay mask. It balances my skin without overdrying it, and the stick-applicator makes it easy peasy!
Alright… the laneige lip, while a lovely texture and smell, doesn’t work super well in Arizona. I don’t know why. Something dense and greasy like Glossier Balmdotcom, keeps the moisture locked in for a dry climate. There should be a Mythbusters about this.
Ha! Good to know!
Thank you for the beauty ideas. I love to splurge also on some really good skin care. One of my favorites in Anne Marie Skin care. They are great. I love a good rosewater spray as well. I usually just get mine from the Vitamin Shoppe. They have great ones there.
Any thoughts on Beauty Counter vs R&F? Thanks!
