4 Skin Care Products To Start Using This Summer

Ready to spice up your summer skin care routine with stellar products? Of course you are! Ahead, we share a roundup of four great skin care products to work into your regimen.

Summer has officially begun! Shorts, bikinis, and sundresses are the new staples of your wardrobe, but what about your beauty routine? After all, intense and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet sun rays and chlorinated pools can certainly do a number on your skin.

That’s why there’s no better time than now to revamp your summer skin care products! A good skin care regimen is only as powerful as the products used within it, so spruce yours up with all-star picks from none other than L’Oréal Paris. From their range of Pure-Clay Masks to their moisture-packed Hydra Genius moisturizers, the brand’s portfolio boasts a wide range of products that can help you achieve your best-looking skin this summer.

FACE MASK: LORÉAL PARIS PURE-CLAY MASKS

One of our not-so-guilty pleasures is a good face mask, and right now we can’t get enough of the masks in L’Oréal Paris’ Pure-Clay Masks range. There are five masks in total, all of which feature a blend of Kaolin, Montmorillonite, and Moroccan Lava Clays and a unique ingredient to help target specific skin concerns.  From the cleansing and detoxifying power of the Detox & Brighten mask to the oil-control benefits of the Purify & Mattify mask, there’s a mask that can target your key skin issues. You can grab one to target your main skin concern, or mix and match them to customize your own facial mask regimen. The choice is yours!

How to Use: Apply an even layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip area. Leave on for 10 minutes and remove with water. For best results, use up to three times per week.

FACIAL EXFOLIATOR: LORÉAL PARIS PURE-SUGAR SCRUBS

Has your skin been feeling a little rough? If it’s been a while since you last exfoliated your skin, the culprit could be a buildup of dead skin cells on your skin’s surface. To help remove dead surface cells and restore your skin’s soft and smooth feel, reach for a facial scrub like the L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Scrubs. Each of these scrubs is formulated with Blonde, Brown, and White Sugars, and can give your skin a gentle yet effective slough session. Here’s a quick breakdown of benefits, so you can choose the best one for your skin: the Pure-Sugar Smooth & Glow Scrub is formulated with grapeseed, acai, and monoi oils and can give dull skin a radiant-looking glow, while the Pure-Sugar Purify & Unclog Scrub is formulated with kiwi seeds, lemongrass oils, and peppermint and can help visibly unclog your pores and reduce the look of excess shine. For drier skin types, consider the Pure-Sugar Nourish & Soften Scrub, which contains cocoa, coconut oil, and cocoa butter, and can give your skin a soft, nourished, and comforted feel.

How to Use: Apply an even layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip area. Leave on for 10 minutes and remove with water. For best results, use up to three times per week.

FACIAL MOISTURIZER: LORÉAL PARIS HYDRA GENIUS MOISTURIZERS

Many skin care lovers like to switch out their heavy-duty winter face creams for lighter, often gel-based moisturizers (or even hydrating serums) during summer. Even though these formulations are lightweight, they can still pack a serious hydration punch. Case in point? L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care Moisturizers. Each of these nourishing moisturizers can give your skin hours of intense hydration without leaving behind a residue. Choose one depending on your skin type: Normal/Dry, Normal/Oily, or Extra Dry.

Editor’s tip: These moisturizers are a great base for foundation and makeup, so apply this before you put on primer for a hydrated canvas.

CLEANSER: LORÉAL PARIS MICELLAR WATERS

For fresh, “take the day away” cleansing, try out the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Waters. These all-in one formulas quickly and efficiently remove makeup, everyday dirt, oil, and impurities without harsh rubbing. If you have normal to dry skin, reach for the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Water Complete Cleanser — Normal/Dry, which can remove dirt and makeup in one fell swoop while leaving the skin feeling hydrated and soothed. If you’re a fan of waterproof makeup, avoid tugging at your skin to remove stubborn liner and mascara by reaching for the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Water Complete Cleanser — Waterproof. This micellar water easily removes makeup—waterproof makeup included—while gently cleansing your skin, giving it a mild yet purified finish.
