Summertime means really great weather and a full social calendar, am I right!? So for this month’s Sona Selects, I’ve curated all my favorite skincare, makeup and hair products for summer. From my go-to sunscreen to keep me sun safe to the best hydrating face mask, keep on reading to see what I’m obsessed with right now!

New season means some new skincare. I use sunscreen every day and I especially love this Clarins SPF 50 for my face because it’s oil free and protects my skin from both UVA/UVB rays (how to layer sunscreen with makeup here). When I’m at the beach or by the pool, I like to use a high SPF sunscreen spray like this one from Sun Bum. It’s easy to use, water resistant and smells great! Another skincare product I’m loving right now is the Mario Badescu facial spray with cucumber and aloe. It’s so refreshing!



When the heat hits, I keep my makeup routine simple. For a natural-looking base, I’ve been using the YSL Touche Éclat All-in-One Glow tinted moisturizer. It’s light and comfortable for all day wear. Next, I’m into the Wander Beauty Beach Balm, which is a multi-use stick you can use on your lips and cheeks. And of course, my summer makeup routine isn’t complete without the Pérsona Cosmetics Cali Glow Highlighter in Zuma. It’s the best for getting that sun-kissed vacation glow!


And now hair! I have thick, dry hair so I have to give my hair extra attention in the summer. I talked about the Moroccan Oil Smoothing hair mask on the Sona Selects Hair Edition post, but I’m including it again because it’s that good. If you have frizzy hair, then you will love this one. After rinsing, your hair will feel sooo soft! If you’re trying to keep your hair routine heat free, you should definitely try the cult-favorite Ouai Wave Spray for perfect, just-left-the-beach hair.

I don’t know about you guys, but I especially love trying new products in the summer. If you’re the same, please share your new favorites in the comments below!

Hi, I really enjoy & love your blog, videos, makeup etc. but when it comes to skincare, I would recommend
Going on beautipedia’s website to research product ingredients, I don’t buy any skincare products before reading the scientific reviews.
I love Coola sunscreen. They have a sports sunscreen and it’s sweat proof! I got it I

These are definitely amazing products to check and use. Majority of it are brands who’s been making such noise already. I don’t think I should miss using any of this.

Hi there. It’s a great sharing for beauty in summer. I love to find products to take care of my hair and skin. It seems to be that hair would be dry and damaged by the sun. Here is what I have used to take care of my hair http://www.womensedge.org/best-shampoos-dry-damaged-hair/. By the way, I’m also interested in the watermelon mask you have been using, I think it must be helpful to me. How long have you used that mask? I would like to try. Thank you for sharing such a good product.
