Most of us can agree that summer is the optimal season for looking our best. We're rocking an all-natural (or self-applied) sun-kissed glow, letting our hair recover from blow-outs and heat styling and are generally more relaxed from summer Fridays and weekend getaways.
We also can't deny the fact that summer beauty products are just, well, more exciting than any other time of year. They're brighter, glowier, more colorful and even smell more intoxicating. The good news is that many of your favorite summer-inspired beauty products, while created for warm weather use, can be used for all seasons—fall and winter included. Here, we're rounding up some of our favorites that will help you get through the colder months until it's time to celebrate summer once again.
Skin-brightening products are always clutch as summer turns to fall and fall turns to winter. To keep your skin vibrant through the change in seasons, rely on a brightening serum like this one from Aphorism. Its lightweight formula is handcrafted in small batches with cold-pressed, organic, wildcrafted and 100 percent plant-based ingredients that promise to brighten the complexion and minimize dark spots and hyperpigmentation, all with the added bonus of UV shields. You can use it on its own for an instant, glowy look or apply as a base under makeup.
You don't have to be sunkissed and sandy to use this leave-in hair mist formulated for post-beach use. This easily absorbed dual-purpose mist can be used year round to nourish and smooth locks without weighing hair down or leaving a greasy residue. Crafted in Hawaii, it's infused with jojoba and sweet almond oils and is abundant in vitamins A, E and B and fatty acids that promote balanced, healthier skin, scalp and hair. Not only does it leave your strands healthier, but you'll love the intoxicating scent that will remind you of summer no matter how cold it is outside.
It's 5:00 p.m. somewhere—and that's in your shower. It's hard to believe that this wash, which multitasks as a shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, is not edible (really, it's not). It is, however, bringing happy hour to a shower near you. It's free of parabens, phthalates and propylene glycol, so you can lose yourself in its delectable scent without worrying what you're scrubbing into your hair and body.
For a dewy pop of color throughout the seasons, turn to this burnished bronze shade that was inspired by the ultimate summer party destination itself, Ibiza. Along with a vibrant, glowy pigment, the stick is infused with ceramindone, which acts like a non-invasive filler to plump your skin and provide a flawless surface. Creamy polymers provide moisture and a fusion of rich waxes hydrate for a supple, dewy finish. Use as a highlighter, bronzer or blush—or all three!
