My favorite products to protect the skin you’re in! Face + Body recs.
A little goes a long way & it works as the perfect base for any makeup routine! There is no white cast or pilling, and I can attest to the longevity during long beach days.
ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
Based on the French cult classic, you can’t go wrong with this sunscreen. It rubs in clear so it won’t stain your bikini, and the smell has similar notes to Santal 33. I have to have this in my beach bag!
Orange Gelée | SPF 30 Sunscreen Gel
This is my go-to for reapplying SPF everywhere and anywhere. I prefer to bring this along with me in my beach bag for quick and invisible face reapplication.
Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+
Skincare
I’ve been using this for years and at my ripe old age of 28, I haven’t even considered forehead botox. Seriously, buy the largest size possible, this stuff works!
Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum
I love using this vitamin C in the morning! It has a nice hydrating feel and leaves my skin looking glowy
Farmacy 10% Waterless Vitamin C Serum
This toner specifically from the Paula’s Choice toner line is incredible. I put it on my favorite cotton squares (also in this list) and use it in the morning to start fresh and at night to truly wipe the rest of the day away. It makes my skin feel s...
RESIST Advanced Replenishing Toner with Hyaluronic Acid - Paula's Choice
Pricey, but honestly worth it if you are spending your hard earned money on skincare. These feel incredible and are thin enough that it doesn’t feel like they absorb all of your product. These paired with the Paula’s Choice toner on my list are chef’...
Super-Soft, 100% Natural Facial Cotton - Shiseido
This is a heavier creme but it feels lightweight once it’s rubbed in. I prefer this for super dry areas of the face or body.
Nivea Creme
I ALWAYS order the jumbo size of this cream. It’s super hydrating with no weird or irritating fragrances, so it’s perfect for everyday face use.
belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb with Peptide and Ceramide
I love using these in the morning, especially if I used retinol (also in this list) the night before. Use the rough side, then the smooth side all over your face and neck in circular motions.
Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0, Dual-Textured Toner
Face Makeup
A summer go-to! This product has a great consistency to apply with you fingers, a sponge, or a brush. It’s light enough to wear all day, everyday but also has coverage.
THE BROWN! it’s dark so it still adds a pop, but it’s more natural for everyday use. I love the big applicator brush too.
Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara - Too Faced
Having pretty prominent dark circles, I find this concealer to be one of the best & most hydrating - and I’ve tried MANY concealers. Apply with a concealer brush for the best finish.
Hy-Glam Concealer | Brightening & Hydrating
Let this be the one product you buy if you have dark circles! I am obsessed with this and it truly changed the game for my everyday makeup look.
HUDA BEAUTY #FauxFilter Brightening Under Eye Color Corrector
Lippies
Bissap Glaze is the perfect darker color that is universally flattering! The metal applicator feels incredible and the gloss has great staying power. It’s always in my bag!
Le Chouchou Viral 3-in-1 Lip Treatment | Award-Winning Balm
I find this lip balm to be the fastest working for dry, cracking or chapped lips. There is also SPF in it so I always keep one in my beach bag and the car!
Blistex Medicated Lip Balm, 0.15oz, 3 Count
Hair
I’ve had the Dyson Airwrap for years and am still obsessed. The regular blow dry attachment, the round brush, and the small curling attachment are my everyday go-to’s
Dyson Airwrap ID™ Multi-Styler and Dryer for Straight to Wavy Hair
As I’ve started to lean into my wavy hair, this product has been my favorite. It’s a great oil to break up crunchy texture, but it’s lightweight and smells great!
amika Hair Oil
I’ll always recommend having a separate hair towel - and this one is my favorite! It’s so soft and spa-like while having an elastic for easy use. My hair has never been less frizzy out of the shower!
The Hair Towel - Crown Affair
Nails
These take 30 min tops to apply if you’re multitasking and watching TV. They have a great range of colors and styles - I love the minimalist line! They last about 2 weeks on me with a good nail glue
