10 Summer Skincare And Makeup Essentials To Help You Fight The Heat

Look hotter than the Sun.

The time of the year where you want to look hot without melting. Here are some products to help you show your inner summer goddess while fighting the heat.

1. Let's start off with basics. This bottle of sunscreen by Equate is perfect for sensitive skin and I can say this by experience. It's lightweight and perfect for when you want to go out all glammed up without feeling like you have icing all over your face.

"This works great for a day on the boat. Has a medium consistency, not too thick that it's hard to work in and disappear on skin but not too thin that it's like water. Fragrance free and sensitive enough for small kids, no rash or irritation on them. Worked great as a face sunscreen for me too under makeup just make sure it absorbs and dries a bit before applying anything on top. The quality is amazing and the price is even better. Overall, this is my sunscreen for the summer and the whole family". - WalmartMom1

Get it from Walmart for $7.47.

2. Next, in case you get sunburnt, here's Aloe Vera gel by From Nature to soothe the burn.

This aloe vera gel is perfect for sensitive skin like mine and helps a lot when after a long day out. A great hack with this is to pop the aloe vera gel in the fridge before you head out and when you come home, apply the cold gel and enjoy the soothing sensation of the cold aloe vera gel against your burning skin.

3. If you're obsessed with skincare products, then don't forget to get yourself a jade stone roller. To enhance the effect of the roller, use one or two layers of moisturizer.

Jade rollers are an essential to skin care because of how relaxing they are. A pro-tip to reduce your dark circles is to pop it in the fridge at night and roll it over your under-eyes in the morning

You can get a jade roller along with a Gua Sha stone for $10.69.

4. Here's a facial scrub by Bioré that's perfect if you want to have a spa day at home (and also smells AMAZING). This scrub contains Yuzu Lemon, a great source of Vitamin C and also known for its ability to balance and brighten your complexion. It also contains Dragon Fruit, which is known for its soothing, moisture balancing, and clarifying properties.

"I've used it 3 times this week with visible results. I'm a senior with good skin, and have been exfoliating since I was a teen. A serious illness and various meds made it dull, however. Big results in one week, I'm glowing again". - Kim

Get it from Amazon Canada for $9.19.

5. You can get body yogurt by The Body Shop in various scents, or as I like to call them, flavors. Body yogurt is generally better than body lotion, since its moisturization lasts longer than body lotion. The scent is so good that I'm always tempted to drink it up with a straw, but I don't wanna give people another reason to call me weird.

"Very enriching and melts into your skin instantly. Lots of moisture and never fails!" - angeldonn

Get it from The Body Shop for $16.00.

6. Now moving onto makeup, a bottle of Fit Me concealer by Maybelline. Despite the bottle looking tiny, it holds up a LOT of product and just need to add one or two dabs of it to cover your dark circles.

This is probably the best concealer I've ever gotten. It blends in perfectly and is completely perfect to wear before working out. Instead of getting larger sizes of concealer, this one is a lot better since it's wallet-friendly and it holds up a lot more than it looks.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $8.51.

7. If you're looking for an eyeshadow palette that you can carry around in your purse, then I got your back. The Maybelline New York 24K Nudes palette is what you're looking for if you want your eye-glam to last all day.

It has not only matte colors. but also glittery shades to help make the perfect smokey eye. It's wallet-friendly, and you can get in sets of different colors.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $14.21.

8. The tinted lip balm by Burt's Bees is perfect for summer. It's a lot smoother than your average lip balms, and also adds a lovely tint to your lips, which you can remove easily, unlike your average lip tint.

Instead of lipstick, I prefer throwing this on since it's moisturizing your lips while also adding some color. It also contains Shea butter and botanical waxes, which moisturizes your lips, and only has natural ingredients in it. It is also available in 6 different shades.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $5.69.

9. If you want to up your eyelashes game, then the L'oreal Voluminous Mascara is perfect for you.

Blue mascara makes your eyes pop as compared to blue. This mascara is clump-free and perfect for people with sensitive eyes. The mascara is also available in purple and olive green.

Get it from London Drugs for $12.49.

10. Don't forget to remove your makeup before you sleep! Wipe off your makeup with Neutrogena Micellar Water. It can remove waterproof makeup and doesn't cause breakouts.

This product is meant for sensitive skin and removes waterproof makeup, cleanses and purifies your skin. So, after you remove your makeup, you won't even have to wash your face!
