Summer is the perfect time to switch up your beauty routine with essentials that can handle warmer weather and lots of sunshine. Consider using products that are designed for the summer elements. While choosing beauty items, consider natural products, which are good for both you and the environment.
Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen
A good mineral sunscreen is a must-have for summer. Mineral formulas use natural ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to create a physical barrier against the sun’s rays, instead of using a variety of chemicals. These are safer for your skin and better for the environment. Be sure to look for sunscreen that is labeled reef safe.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera gel is a summer must. Look for aloe that does not have any added fragrances, dyes, or other unnatural additives.
Hydrating Facial Mist
A facial mist can keep you refreshed and hydrated. Look for natural mists that use simple ingredients, staying away from fragrances and dyes.
Natural Moisturizer
Look for a natural moisturizer made with ingredients such as jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, and aloe.
Natural Lip Balm with SPF
Protecting your lips from the sun is just as important as protecting your skin. A natural lip balm with SPF can prevent dryness, cracking, and sunburn. Choose one with nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax for a smooth, hydrated pout.
Dry Shampoo Alternatives
Instead of traditional dry shampoos, look for a natural powder version made with ingredients like arrowroot powder or kaolin clay. These powders soak up excess oil without harmful chemicals and leave your hair looking fresh between washes.
Tinted Moisturizer or BB Cream
For a lighter alternative to foundation, a natural tinted moisturizer or BB cream can offer just enough coverage while allowing your skin to breathe. Many of these products also include SPF, giving you extra sun protection with a natural, effortless look.
Natural Deodorant
Traditional deodorants expose your body to chemical. Natural deodorants use ingredients like baking soda, magnesium, and coconut oil to neutralize odor while allowing your body to sweat naturally. Finding the right one might take a little trial and error, but once you do, it’s a game-changer for your summer beauty routine.
