As summer approaches, college students across the country are preparing for a season of sun, fun and relaxation. Whether you're hitting the beach, lounging by the pool or simply enjoying the warm weather with friends, having the right beauty essentials can make all the difference. From skincare to makeup, here are some must-have products to keep you looking and feeling your best this summer.
Sunscreen
With longer days and UV rays, sunscreen is an absolute essential during the summer months. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin from sunburn, premature aging and even skin cancer. Opt for a lightweight formula that won't feel greasy or clog your pores, making it perfect for daily use. Explore Supergood!’s range of face and body sunscreen, as well as SPF-infused makeup and skincare for comprehensive sun protection.
Hydrating Moisturizer
The summer heat can leave your skin feeling parched and dehydrated. Keep your skin smooth and supple with a hydrating moisturizer. Look for one that is oil-free and non-comedogenic to avoid breakouts, and consider opting for a formula with added antioxidants to combat environmental damage. For instance, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel is a popular choice, delivering intense hydration without clogging pores, and fortified with antioxidants like Vitamin E to protect against sun damage.
Refreshing Facial Mist
Stay refreshed and hydrated on the go with a revitalizing facial mist, a must-have for the summer months. Keep a small bottle in your bag for instant rejuvenation and refreshment whenever you need it. Opt for mists enriched with calming elements such as aloe vera or rose water, perfect for soothing irritated skin and imparting a revitalizing sensation. Consider Tower 28’s SOS Spray for a reliable choice that helps combat redness while keeping your complexion refreshed. For quick relief from angry skin, indulge in a soothing, purifying and rejuvenating toner treatment.
Waterproof Mascara
Don’t let smudged mascara ruin your summer fun! Opt for a waterproof formula to keep your lashes looking long and lush, even on the hottest days. Whether you’re hitting the pool or sweating it out on the dance floor, waterproof mascara holds strong and will stay put without flaking or smudging. For an unbeatable choice, try out Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara, delivering dramatic volume and waterproof wear for all your summer escapades.
Tinted Lip Balm
Say goodbye to dry, cracked lips with a tinted lip balm that provides hydration and a hint of color. Look for formulas enriched with nourishing ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil to keep your lips smooth all summer long. Bonus points if it contains SPF to protect your lips from the sun’s harmful rays. For a stellar choice, try Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm. Infused with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and botanical oils, it keeps lips hydrated and smooth while imparting a subtle tint. Plus, with SPF 15, it offers added defense against sun exposure, making it an ideal companion for summer adventures.
Setting Spray
Keep your makeup looking fresh and flawless with a setting spray that locks in your look for hours on end. Choose a lightweight formula that won't feel heavy on your skin, and opt for a mattifying finish to control shine in the summer heat. With a quick spritz of setting spray, you can ensure your makeup stays put from morning until night. Consider Urban Decay’s All-Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray– its featherweight formula sets makeup in place without feeling heavy, while its mattifying properties keep shine at bay. With just a few sprays, you can trust your makeup to stay flawless throughout even the hottest of summer days and nights.
Dry Shampoo
For those days when you're too busy enjoying the sunshine to bother with washing your hair, dry shampoo is a lifesaver. Spritz some on your roots to absorb excess oil and add volume, leaving your hair looking fresh and revitalized in seconds. For a good choice, try Batiste Dry Shampoo. Its innovative formula swiftly refreshes hair, absorbing oil without leaving any residue behind. With a quick application, you'll have clean, voluminous hair ready to take on the day, even when you’re on the go and enjoying the summer sun.
