Who is ready for summer ? Well i am !
These are the things that have been proven helpful in the past summers, sharing them with you as well as new recommendations to try 🙌🏻✨🌊
The literal scent of a Mediterranean summer. I spray this on my hair and skin before heading to a chiringuito—it smells like a breeze of fresh air , exactly what people would like to smell in a hot sunny day in Playa 🌊☀️
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 91 Hair & Body Perfume Mist 90ml | CultBeauty
The salt air in BCN can be drying. I use this every night to wake up with soft lips. It’s a cult favorite for a reason, nothing else hydrates quite like it !! Absolutely delicious
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask - Berry (Original) 20g | CultBeauty
Barcelona sun + sea salt = dry ends. A tiny drop of this honey oil keeps my hair looking sleek and expensive instead of frizzy. Plus, the bottle is aesthetic goals.
Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume - Vanilla Glaze 15ml
The unofficial 'Barcelona bag.' It’s small enough to be safe from pickpockets but big enough for your phone, keys, and a small sunscreen. Perfect for hands-free walks through Gótico!
Everywhere Belt Bag Large 2L | Men's Bags,Purses,Wallets
These are like a second skin. I wear them for yoga at the park and then straight to a coffee date at Nomad. They don't dig in, even in the heat.
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Pant 25" | Leggings
My go-to for summer runs or just pairing with an oversized white linen shirt for that 'clean girl' aesthetic while walking around the city 🏙️
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Short 6" | Women's Shorts
If you hate the feeling of sunscreen, this is for you. It’s completely clear and doubles as a makeup primer. Perfect for those 'no-makeup' beach days ☀️🌊🥥
Supergoop! Sunscreen SPF 40,1.7 Fl Oz
A Mediterranean classic. You need a bag big enough for a towel, book, and SPF, but cute enough for a terrace brunch. This is the ultimate summer accessory⛱️
Bags & Co - Handbag & Luggage
Sea salt and pool chlorine are brutal on hair. I use two drops of this every morning to protect my ends from the Barcelona sun. It has heat protection up to 230°C, so it’s a must if you’re styling your hair for a night out
Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil 30 ml
This is my absolute holy grail for a blurred, Mediterranean sun-kissed look without the shine. I use the shade 'Cupcake' to brighten my under-eyes. It lasts all day even in the Barcelona heat!
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder 20g (Various Shades) | CultBeauty
know, I know .the “viral cup”but it actually fits in the cup holder of a SEAT car or a taxi! It’s the only way I stay hydrated while walking between El Born and Gràcia. Plus, the Cream color fits the aesthetic perfectly.
Stanley Quencher 30oz Tumbler Orange Cream
Aaand last but definitely not least! The perfect light, crisp scent for a Spanish summer. Since Zara is everywhere in BCN, it feels like the local signature scent.
You can just throw in your bag for that quick refreshing scent 🍏🌬️

Skin care
Because a good base always starts with a good skin 👀
The ultimate 'SOS' cream.
If I stay out in the sun too long or my skin feels irritated, I layer this on at night. It's a French pharmacy staple that every girl needs.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Multi-Purpose Repairing Balm 100ml | CultBeauty
The gold standard for a reason. ☀️ It feels more like a lightweight moisturizer than a sunscreen and leaves zero white cast, even on my tan. The rice and probiotics keep my skin barrier soothed after a day at the beach. Honestly, it's the only SPF I ...
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ 50ml | CultBeauty
My secret weapon for the humidity. I keep the travel size in my bag to mist my face throughout the day. It tightens pores and gives an instant 'I just had a facial glow 🌟
Caudalie Beauty Elixir 100ml | CultBeauty
The ultimate 'Spanish Summer' glow in a bottle. I apply this to my shoulders and legs before heading out to dinner in Enric Granados. It’s a dry oil, so it’s not sticky, and the subtle gold shimmer looks incredible under the city lights( my all time ...
