Summer Skincare Favorites

Living in dry climates like Colorado and Las Vegas the past few years, I began to struggle with dry flaky skin. Heading into summer where most of us will be out in the sun, drying our skin out more than normal - these are some of my biggest ways to keep your skin feeling A+!


Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Moisturizer

This moisturizer is an all time favorite. It's extremely lightweight, and soaks into your skin immediately, so it truly feels like you have nothing on. The fact that it actually soaks into your skin instead of just sitting on top truly helps moisturize rather than just trapping moisture! Nothing compares.

Dermaflash

This is another rec for any skin type, but is a must have for my dry skin girlies. This is essentially a vibrating razor blade, that makes it so much easier to control that dry flakiness. Using this once a week will help to remove any dry, dead skin and peach fuzz, allowing your skincare to better penetrate, smoother texture, and your makeup to perform better! After using the Dermaflash, I always follow up with my Water Drench, and a nice oil to lock in moisture.

Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

I used to stray away from Oils, because I felt the heaviness would trap unwanted dirt and cause breakouts - but this one is SO good. It doesn't leave you feeling greasy, it just feels like you're trapping in the moisture that you want, creating a barrier between your skin and the dry heat! I prefer to use this at night, or if I am feeling extra dry I will also give it a go in the mornings. If you're going to be putting on a thicker makeup, I definitely recommend giving this some time to absorb into your skin first.

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum

With consistent use, this product will make you feel so glowy! I always get more compliments on my skin with consistent use. Don't be alarmed you will feel slightly tingly with your first couple of uses, and if you have sensitive skin start with every other day. This will give your skin a nice exfoliation to compliment your weekly Dermaflash! It targets tone, texture, and fine lines!

Neutrogena HydroBoost Lotion

I would be remiss if I didn't also fill you in on the best drugstore lotion in the game. I feel really similarly about this lotion as I do the Water Drench. It soaks into your skin, and does not leave you feeling greasy or sticky. With consistent use I'm confident you will notice smoother more moisturized skin. My husband even struggles with Keratosis pilaris and this has been a game changer to prevent those itchy dry patches for him!

Supergoop! Glow Oil

I am definitely a fair skin girly, and so when I heard oil it took me back to the days of Banana Boat SPF 8 Oils and gave me a CRINGE. This is not that. It is an SPF 50 oil, and it does not leave you feeling shiny and sticky. I love this because it feels like doing double duty that I just moisturized and used an amazing sunscreen!

Coola Organic Dew Good Illuminating Serum

This is the perfect way to get your SPF into your skincare routine without disruption of the products you normally like! It will also sit so well under makeup without leaving you feeling greasy or like you have a thick product under your foundation!


Supergoop! PLAY Lip Shield

This is an SPF chapstick, and I love it! The mint feels refreshing when you've been sitting out at the pool for a few hours, and it has nice staying power that it isn't washed off immediately with water. Bonus points for the SPF!
