Everyone wants to have beautiful, luscious skin as they grow older. In order to do that we need to ensure we take care of our skin every single day. Especially during summer when it's easy for our skin to get dry, we must make sure it stays fresh and hydrated. Here are some products that can help with your daily skin routine.
Facial Wash- Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

This product is one that people have been using for years and customers love. We all have different skin types, some dry or oily. But this is one product that works great for all skin types and cleans off dirt, oils and make up really well while leaving your skin healthy.
Exfoliant- St. Ives Apricot Scrub
$4.49 at Target
Next up, exfoliants. It is super important to exfoliate your skin at least 1-2 times a week after you use your facial wash. One product that works great and is inexpensive is the St. Ives Apricot Scrub. It's great for sensitive skin, washes off easily and leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed.
Facial Jade Roller
$30.00 at Sephora
Face rollers help elevate your beauty routine and leave your skin looking bright and young. It’s best to keep your roller in the freezer and use a facial serum to help it absorb into your skin better. The gentle pressure this roller provides helps leave your facial muscles more relaxed and will de-puff and sooth your skin.
Face Serum- Glossier Super Glow
$28.00 at Glossier.
This face serum holds Vitamin C and Magnesium which visibility energies your skin leaving it with a beautiful glow. The serum isn't sticky and absorbs in your skin quite nicely. Using this product with a cold face jade roller will leave your skin glowing in just a matter of days. Plus, it's great for all skin types!
Moisturizer/Sunscreen- Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
$46.00 at Sephora This is the perfect summer product. This tinted moisturizer also includes SPF protectant and make up all in one product. We love that! They also sell oil free which is great for people with more sensitive skin. This will leave your face protected, smooth and beautiful.
Lastly, don't forget to use facial sprays throughout the day. A great one to use is the Mario Badescu facial spray. The aloe, cucumber and green tea facial spray is great for summer. Aloe refreshes your skin after a day out in the sun. The green tea provides antioxidant benefits, while the cucumber replenishes and revitalizes your skin.
Summer is fun and all, but we can’t forget to give our skin the proper TLC it deserves after soaking up in the sun!
