Ah, summer.
When it finally arrives, it’s as if everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief.
You get to go to the beach, enjoy cocktails on the patio with friends, and watch the daylight go on forever.
But with the new season comes summer skin and new ways of mastering skincare and makeup.
This guide takes you through the must-have skincare for summer as well as some beach makeup tips and general summer makeup hacks.
So, let’s get your summer skin glowing, the cocktails flowing, and this warm-weather product guide going!
Let’s start with a couple of summer skin questions.
How to Take Care of Your Skin in Summer
The biggest skin change most people notice in summer is an increase in oiliness.
Of course, on top of managing shiny skin, it’s also crucial to be mindful of upping your SPF usage.
Throughout Australia, the UV index is much higher during the summer months.
Be sure you’re using an SPF of at least 30 daily.
Got that sorted? Now, swap out your current facial cleanser for something that helps control oil.
These are your summer skincare essentials!
