From Dull to Radiant: The Summer Glow Routine You Need

As the sun turns up the heat, it’s time to let your skin shine (in a good way, not the greasy way). Summer is all about feeling fresh, confident, and radiant, but the shift in weather can throw our skin into chaos. The heat, humidity, and extra sun exposure can leave you with clogged pores, dullness, or even an unexpected breakout party. If you want that effortless, lit-from-within glow all summer long, we’ve got the ultimate skincare routine to get you there.

A summer essential, the Bulgarian Rose Everything Elixir is a no-rinse micellar water that cleanses, hydrates, and even includes retinol to keep your skin smooth and glowing. It effortlessly removes dirt, sweat, and sunscreen buildup while nourishing your skin—no rinsing required!

Pro Tip: Use it in the morning and throughout the day to refresh your skin, especially if you’ve been out in the sun.

Hydration is key to achieving that dewy, healthy glow. Swap out heavy creams for lightweight, water-based moisturizers like the Wild Algae Quench Créme, a featherweight, non-greasy daily niacinamide moisturizer that hydrates while controlling excess oil. This keeps your skin balanced and shine-free while locking in essential moisture.

Pro Tip: Keep a facial mist in your bag for an instant hydration boost on hot days. A quick spritz can refresh your skin and keep you glowing all day long.

If you do one thing for your skin this summer, let it be applying (and reapplying) sunscreen! UV exposure not only causes premature aging but also contributes to dull, uneven skin. The Dream Shield Day Cream SPF 50 is an all-natural broad-spectrum sunscreen moisturizer that leaves no white cast. Infused with amber powder and CoQ10 to help improve the appearance of fine lines, Kakadu Plum to enhance radiance, and Marshmallow Root and Wheat Germ extracts to soothe and support your skin’s natural barrier, this formula leaves your skin soft, smooth, and naturally luminous.

Pro Tip: Find a sunscreen that works for your skin type. There are lightweight, non-greasy formulas that blend effortlessly into your skin without the dreaded white cast.

Serums are your secret weapon for glowing skin. The Wild Algae Glow Up Serum is packed with the holy trinity of bright, clear skin: stabilized Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Niacinamide. This powerhouse formula helps even out skin tone, fade dark spots, and give you that fresh, radiant look.

Pro Tip: Apply your vitamin C serum in the morning before SPF for an antioxidant boost that helps protect against sun damage.

If you love wearing makeup, summer is the time to keep it light and breathable. Swap heavy foundations for tinted moisturizers or BB creams with SPF. Cream-based blushes and highlighters give your skin a natural, dewy look without looking cakey.

Pro Tip: A little bit of strategically placed highlighter on the high points of your face (cheekbones, brow bones, and bridge of the nose) can enhance your summer glow even more.

Glowing skin starts from within! Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and plump. Eating water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges can also help keep your hydration levels up.

Pro Tip: Green tea is packed with antioxidants and can help calm inflammation in the skin. Swap your iced coffee for iced green tea for a skin-loving summer drink.

Your skin does most of its repairing and regenerating while you sleep. Make sure you’re getting at least 7-8 hours of quality rest each night. Using a silk pillowcase can also help reduce friction and prevent skin irritation.

Pro Tip: Apply a lightweight overnight mask a few times a week for an extra hydration boost while you sleep. You’ll wake up with softer, plumper skin!

Summer skincare doesn’t have to be complicated! With the right routine and a little extra care, you can achieve that radiant, sun-kissed glow effortlessly. Keep your skin hydrated, protected, and fresh, and you’ll be glowing all season long. Now, go enjoy the sunshine—just don’t forget the SPF! ☀️
