12 Essentials to Shop Ahead of Summer

It somehow feels like I need to shave and reshave every day during the summer. Not only is this incredibly annoying but my skin hates me for it. Nood’s Flasher Pro is the easiest and most affordable way to change that. With visible hair growth reduction after one use, nood puts hairless and ageless skin at your fingertips.

My face is always covered in the summer, whether I’m wearing a floppy sun hat or hiding behind my biggest sunglasses. While this is great for the longevity of my skin, as summer goes on, my face becomes a different shade than my body. To even it all out, I always gravitate towards Saltyface’s Tanning Set which includes everything you need for effortless face application.

A good pair of flip-flops is a summer must-have, and TKEES is my go-to choice. They’re versatile enough to pair with linen pants for a dinner out or throw on for a day at the beach. Plus, this color is such a fun summer statement.

Vacation’s Super Spritz SPF 50 is my secret to keeping SPF applied all day. Designed to be worn over makeup, a spritz of this is the perfect hit of refreshment and protection throughout the day. Fitting easily in my purse, I never leave the house without this.  

No summer essentials list is truly complete without the perfect pool bag, and this one is a standout. Made from this foldable straw material, it’s both stylish and incredibly practical for any getaway. Whether you’re packing it full or just tucking in a few must-haves, it’s the ultimate companion for your summer adventures.

Rhode's Pocket Blush is the ultimate shortcut to that perfect post-beach glow, no matter where you are. Just dab a touch of pink on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose, and voila—you’re sunkissed in seconds.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—sun hats are my summer go-to. They not only shield your skin from harmful UV rays but also add a chic, fun touch to your pool, lake, or beach day look.

With the summer heat and humidity, staying hydrated is essential. I love Bink’s Day Bottle because it holds just the right amount of water and is compact enough to toss in my bag without a second thought.

This cream from Murad visibly firms and lifts the skin while smoothing the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks. It’s the perfect little boost of confidence, giving me that extra lift when I slip into a swimsuit.

These water-resistant zippered pouches are absolute lifesavers during the summer for keeping my phone and valuables safe, dry, and easy to access. Whether it’s wet towels or spilled water bottles, you never know what moisture will find its way into your bag.

This product is the secret to my perfect summer glow. Applied with the Refy Duo Brush, the reflective pearl pigment gives a subtle glass finish. Not only does it look great, but it feels great, too–the lightweight formula contains antioxidants that leave the skin feeling healthy and hydrating.
