Summer Staples
Summer nights, seaside cocktails, and endless sun-soaked days — everything we’ve been waiting for is finally back. And while a golden tan does make every outfit of the day (OOTD) pop a little more, we’re here to remind you of the importance of conscious and reinforced skin protection.It would be too basic to simply repeat the usual advice: avoid sun exposure during peak hours, drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruit, and wear light, breathable clothing. So instead, we’ve curated a selection of pre- and post-beach essentials to help you maintain a healthy glow and keep that flawless sun-kissed skin effect going strong all the way into next season.
The skincare edit
When the temperatures rise, protection and hydration are the key words for achieving radiant, glowing skin. Start with calming actives like the Vitamin E Face Moisturizer, ideal for soothing and softening sun-exposed skin. Don’t forget the delicate areas: the Revitalizing Eye Gel helps reduce puffiness and brightens tired eyes with a cooling, lightweight formula, while the Lip Moisturizer delivers long-lasting hydration and a smooth finish, perfect for parched lips. While all of these play a role in a healthy skincare routine, the one product you should never skip is sunscreen, so chose one you really like and stick to it.
The make up edit
If you’re aiming for that sunburnt effect using only makeup — we got you. Blush Blindness? It’s not going anywhere.
The underpainting technique, with a bold blush as the star of the look, is trendier than ever.
But before you even reach for your blush, body skin prep is key. Start with the Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus Hand + Body Scrub to smooth and refresh the skin, followed by the Vitamin B5 Body Moisturizer for lightweight, nourishing hydration.
Then, get into the blush:
• Nudestix Blush in Sunset Strip
• Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in Flamingo Red.
Tap it across the cheeks, nose, and temples to create that effortless, just-got-back-from-the-beach flush — minus the sun damage.
The stylish edit
Of course, we couldn’t forget about our stylish crew. Accessories are not just fashion statements — they’re practical allies in beating the summer heat. Think:
- Sunglasses
- Caps and wide-brimmed hats
- tote bags, essential for carrying everything you need for a beach day in style.
Check out all the collection.
