Sun’s up, the heat is on, and summer has officially begun! No doubt you’ve already booked a getaway where the sun meets the sea. As much fun as this season is though, the harsh UV rays and extreme heat can take its toll on your skin, especially when you’re at the beach. And lucky for you, Calyxta’s got summer essentials you can easily pack in a Glossier pouch! With the right habits and arsenal of items, you will definitely survive summer beautifully.
This should be common sense by now. SPF is your main defense against sunburn and the vast array of skin damage that UV rays bring. This is the season when you have no excuse to leave your skin bare and unprotected. And do not forget to reapply constantly, especially after sweating or jumping in the water!

The summer heat can bring on dry and chapped lips. To prevent your lips from morphing into a crater like state, start to scrub, scrub, scrub. Like the skin, regularly exfoliating the lips sloughs of dead skin and reveals the smoother layer beneath. Having a smooth surface also ensures your lipstick glides on and looks perfect.

Summer is the best time to lay out on the sand (with SPF, of course!) and achieve that golden tan. To further enhance your sun-kissed glow, sweep on some bronzer on the areas of your face where the sun usually hits (cheekbones and your T-zone) and on your collarbones. Get glowing, girl!
Suggested product: Milani Powder Bronzer
Heat and humidity can put your sebaceous glands into overdrive during the summer. To keep your skin shine-free, keep oil control film or mattifiers on hand in your beach bag. Touch up your T-zone, usually the oiliest part of your face, every few hours to de-grease.
Suggested product: Maybelline Fit Me Powder, P399
A hot day out in the summer can bring about sweating, oiliness, and just general gunk and grime sticking to your skin. Make sure to take it all off completely at the end of each day to prevent breakouts and dull skin. You’ll also feel totally refreshed after washing your face. No matter how tired you are, cleanse it all away.
