Sun, sea, and summer nights leave us with memories to reminisce on for the rest of the year, but they also leave our skin and hair in a rut. Our post-summer beauty guide has the products that’ll give you the quick fixes, glow restorers and hydration heroes you need to reset, refresh and step into fall looking your best life.
1)LIBRE L’EAU NUE YVES SAINT LAURENT
A new summer drop that looks like it’ll continue to take space in her handbags for the rest of the year. Want a whiff? It has hints of citrus, florals, lavender and sweetness, essentially summer bottled up. It’s alcohol free, oil based and you can use it for your hair. For those who don’t speak fragrance, that means no fear of sudden rashes and its oil base means it smells good for longer periods — but that also means no spraying on your clothes, you don’t want stains.
2)LUX 30 SHOWER GEL
While they’re known for their post-soft skin effect, it also has a long lasting florally smell that lasts up to 30 hours. Don’t believe us? They’ve said it themselves. Lucky for you their scents come in threes, so take your pick.
3)COUNT TO TAN TRUELEMENT
Summers over and probably is your tan longevity. Do you see the trend here? Well we’ve got you. If you feel like your tan is fading away or can’t live with the idea of going back to your ghost self, Truelement has your back with their self tanning foam. Not only will you get that bronze skin appearance but it’s also hydrating your skin along with it. We think it’s a win-win situation — however, a word to the wise, be sure to use one of their mitts or body brushes.
4)DIOR FOREVER BLUSH SOFT FILTER
The Dior liquid blush is light yet highly pigmented, meaning one dot goes a very long way. What makes it a must have, is its great pairing with skin care since it’s infused with hyaluronic acid giving you 24 hours of hydration. Bonus: no need for layering powder since the blush applies like a cream and sets like a powder, blending perfectly with your makeup.
5)REGENERATING MASK WITH PRICKLY PEAR OIL BY CHRISTOPHE ROBIN
This should be your go-to hair mask post summer fry. Your ends and strands are crying for hydration and nourishment which is why this mask deeply conditions, repairs, and smooths hair for that healthy and glossy look — and the cherry on top is the sweet scent that coats your strands for the rest of the day.
6)ON ‘TIL DAWN SETTING SPRAY BY ONE SIZE
It’s been all over our feeds that this viral product keeps makeup waterproof, transferproof, smudgeproof, and sweatproof for 16 hours straight. Sounds too good to be true but we’ve seen it and we can assure you it works. The best part is it gives you an airbrushed finish without that sticky sensation as well as keeping the face oils at bay and blurs pores.
7)TRICLONE SKIN TECH MEDIUM COVERAGE FOUNDATION BY HAUS LABS
This foundation has quickly earned its cult status, the foundation delivers that coveted skin but better finish. Lightweight yet buildable, it blurs, evens, and perfects without masking your natural glow. Also wave goodbye to heaviness, the formula gives you breathable coverage that moves with your skin instead of sitting on top of it.
8) KP BUMP ERASER BODY SCRUB BY FIRST AID BEAUTY
It’s the body care upgrade everyone’s talking about: a scrub with 10% AHA that smooths away keratosis pilaris, chicken skin, and stubborn bumps. The magic is in the mix of chemical and physical exfoliants that work together to reveal skin that feels softer, looks smoother, and glows like you’ve just stepped out of a spa.
9)JET LAG MASK + MOISTURISER BY SUMMER FRIDAYS
It’s the multitasker we’re obsessed with: part skin plumping mask, part everyday hydrator. The edge is in how it revives tired, thirsty skin and leaves it looking dewy, refreshed, and well rested (even if you’re not). Think of it as your all in one shortcut to a healthy, glowing complexion.
10)AQUA BOMB KOREAN GLOW SUNSTICK BY BELIF
Best Beli(f)ve, pun intended, that the product is lightweight that glides on effortlessly without the dreaded white cast. Packed with hydration, it not only shields skin with broad-spectrum protection but also leaves behind a glass-skin glow and invisible pores.
