Sun, sea and sand are perfect combination to make you feel wonderful

but they also can damage your skin and hair, so it is really important to take a good care of your body. Whether you are headed on a beach or you are just taking a walk in the city, you should definitely have the best warm-weather beauty products that are totally worth investing.

After Sun Body Lotion

After-sun lotions are key in helping to rehydrate the skin. They have soothing and cooling properties, which helps in putting moisture back. And the best part is that by using this product right after the sun exposure can extend your tan. Good to know right?

After Sun Hair Mask

An intensive hair mask that restores and moisturize the sun-exposed hair should absolutely be in your travel bag this summer! Hair masks are intense conditioners that have more fatty acids which can help protect it from the sun. Find one that works best for your hair type.

Dry shampoo

On hot summer days I spray a little all over my hair every day, even if I've just washed my hair. It add volume while soaking up oil and sweat to help my hair looking great all day long. No more flat midday hair.

Body SPF Protection

Sunscreens have a huge role in the sun defense arsenal. Sunscreen has been proven to decrease the development of skin cancer, it also helps to prevent facial brown spots and red veins and it slows down the aging process. You will absolutely regret not having worn sunscreen when you look at your skin 15 years from now. Is that enough?

Shadow base

The secret behind keeping your eye makeup in place all day long is primer. There are a lot of great ones available at every price point. Just swipe one on before you apply your shadow and it will look freshly applied all day long. I wear primer year round, but it seems especially important in the summer.

Sun Kissed Bronzer

Dip your brush in the bronzer and get the most summerish look this season. It is flirty, charming and never overdone look! The trick is to pick the best shade and apply it where the sun would naturally hit your face. We love summer bronzed look as much as anyone!

Face SPF Protection

This is the first thing you should do in the morning before leaving your house. When it comes to protecting your face from UVA and UVB rays, try to find a mineral SPF face cream ( other formulas can be heavy) and keep one in every bag!

Waterproof your liner and mascara

I like to waterproof my mascara and eyeliner. I've found that in high heat and humidity, my normal smudge-proof liners and mascara just won't stay put. Swapping out to waterproof products means that my makeup still looks great after a long day out in the sun.

Hair Protectant

The same as your face and body, your hair needs to be protected wisely. UVA and UVB rays can weaken and break the protein bonds in the hair and can destroy the hair color. So, it is really important to take a good care for your hair before going to the beach. Go and seek for products that indicate they protect from sun damage. We recommend hair protectant sprays.

Moisturizing Lip Balm

When it comes to sun protection, don't forget your lips, ever! Since lips naturally have thin skin, sun damage can make the skin even thinner. So you should absolutely have a lip balm featuring SPF in your summer beauty arsenal and your lips will totally look healthy and vibrant!

Mineral Facial Spray

Mineral facial spray provides an instant cooling effect and provide important hydration and minerals for your skin. It goes deep in your skin and it clears all the germs and aids in the healing process, plus it keeps your face fresh and lively! Definitely the best product for summer warm days!

Mattifying primer

I have combination skin, and in the summer it can be hard to keep the shine to a minimum. Rather than applying powder all day long, I've found that applying a mattifying primer under my foundation or BB cream is a much better option. Primer is very lightweight and dries clear, so I can't even tell that I'm wearing it. Just a small amount is enough to keep my T-zone shine-free without needing to reapply powder all day long.

SPF Foundation

Sometimes a little makeup feels necessary to keep your face looking fresh, even if you are going to the beach. So the best option that will keep your face protected from the sun rays and still help you look fabulous are BB Creams or SPF Foundation. There are many from various brands, so go and find yourself one that will work the best on your face!

Vitamin C Serum

A vitamin C serum is a product that delivers concentrated Vitamin C, which is very important to keep the wrinkles that can be caused by sun damage away! It stimulates collagen production, which can reduce the signs of aging. Since is a week sunscreen, should be used in conjunction with your SPF face cream.

Super strength antiperspirant

I just started using a "clinical strength" antiperspirant a few weeks ago, and I'm impressed! The increase in active ingredients has been keeping me bone dry every day. I went back to my previous antiperspirant for a few days to compare and I felt a bit damp, though I know I wasn't really sweating. The great news is that these products are available over the counter, so you don't need a prescription.
