Because it’s not fall yet, folks!
We may be halfway through August already, but there’s still plenty of brat summer sunshine left to soak up before demure fall arrives.
With hot and humid temperatures still in the forecast, it’s not quite time to tuck away your after-sun sprays, hair removal tools or colourful makeup products just yet. Keeping the spirit of the season alive, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best beauty products on the market to help you ride out the rest of this summer.
Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense Serum SPF 50+
Wear your SPF and your serum at once with Neutrogena’s SPF 50+ Invisible Daily Defense Serum. With its built-in antioxidant complex, this 100 per cent mineral sunscreen defends against environmental aggressors like pollution while shielding you from the sun.
Providing up to eight hours of intense hydration, it primes the skin for makeup like a dream.
Fenty Beauty Cheeks Suede Waterproof Powder Blush
Partaking in this summer’s viral sunburnt blush trend? Fenty Beauty’s ultra-pigmented Cheeks Suede Waterproof Powder blushes will bring life to your cheeks through humidity, sweat and all.
Layer the peachy pink “Sundress Szn” shade with vibrant coral “Lolly Poppy” for a sunset effect — before you trade your bold blush looks in for fall’s moody hues.
Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Miami Midnight Razor
To achieve your smoothest summer skin, look no further than the Gilette Venus Extra Smooth Miami Midnight Razor. Designed with summery artwork inspired by evenings in Miami, you can bring those hot summer night vibes to your shower with this decorative razor and its matching shower hook.
The razor itself features five deluxe blades, plus a water-activated ribbon of moisture to help lubricate the skin and prevent nicks.
Oribe Invisible Defense Universal Protection Hair Spray
While you’re slathering sunscreen onto your face and body to guard your skin from harmful sun rays, don’t forget to protect your hair! The UV absorber within Oribe’s Invisible Defense Universal Protection Hair Spray instantly shields hair from damage caused by UV rays.
Additionally, this lightweight mist offers heat protection up to 230 degrees Celsius while fighting frizz and keeping your locks moisturized.
Josie Maran Argan Melt-Away Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil
At the end of a sweltering summer’s day out, you need a reliable facial cleanser to wash away all of the makeup, dirt and debris that remains. New to Sephora Canada shelves, Josie Maran’s Argan Melt-Away Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil is up for the task.
Upon contact with dry skin, this cleanser’s formula will warm up and begin to melt away stubborn makeup, SPF, sweat and oil. With a splash of water, it’ll take on a serum-like texture, and continue to wash off the day’s dirt without stripping the skin.
That’so Italy After Sun Repellent Spray
That’so Italy’s After Sun Repellent Spray is not your average after-sun treatment. This spray instantly relieves sore, sun-exposed skin by moisturizing, refreshing and soothing. But there’s more! Within its formula, the neem oil ingredient gives off an unpleasant scent to insects (but not us humans!), and acts as a repellent against pesky mosquitos and other pests.
First Aid Beauty Whole Body Deodorant Cream
During the summer months, most of us sweat places other than our underarms. From “pits to privates,” First Aid Beauty’s Whole Body Deodorant Cream provides odour protection for up to 24 hours, wherever you need it. Activated by sweat, this cream runs on odour-fighting AHAs, and leaves behind a light, citrusy scent.
And don’t worry, it won’t leave a white residue on your chic linen dresses.
La Roche-Posay Antihelios Ultra-Fluid Body Lotion
If you’re a skincare junkie, we bet you’re already familiar with La Roche-Posay’s beloved Antihelios Ultra-Fluid Facial Sunscreen with SPF 50+. But have you tried its matching body lotion for all-over protection? Like its facial counterpart, this sunscreen dries down with an invisible matte finish, is suitable for all skin tones and offers up to 80 minutes of water- and sweat-resistance.
Kid Sister Afterglow Face Mask
Canadian skincare brand Kid Sister’s Afterglow Face Mask is just what tired skin needs for an end-of-summer refresh. Powered by exfoliating fruit enzymes, lactic acid and jojoba oil beads, this face mask gently sloughs off dead skin to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.
Allow your skin to soak up its skincare benefits for five to 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water for optimal results.
Skinbetter Science Even Tone Correcting Serum
Skinbetter Science’s Even Tone Correcting Serum is your summertime solution for unbalanced, dull skin. Apply this complexion corrector to your face, neck and decolletage in the mornings and evenings to watch your skin become brighter and more even in tone in as little as 12 weeks. Come autumn, your skin will thank you for it.
