Today was my last day of this school year and we aren’t wasting any time before heading to our first vacation of the summer. Tomorrow we are leaving to spend a few days in Miami! We also have another trip to the Dominican Republic planned later in the month. I am looking forward to some much needed relaxation time on the beach. I’m also super excited that I finally perfected my 5 minute skincare and makeup routine for achieving the perfect summer glow. Whenever I know I’m going to be by the beach or pool, I use these products to give my skin a dewy glow without having to spend too much time.

- Step 1: After doing my morning skincare, I always start by applying this Protect & Glow Sunscreen. This alone gives my skin so much glow without leaving it feeling greasy. It’s SPF 30 and protects against blue light and pollution. I wear this every day whether or not I’m in the sun.
- Step 2: Next I use this Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm. I also don’t go a day without this! It brightens up my under eyes while also making me feel awake with the cooling effect. I use the rose eye balm because I think it compliments my skin better.
- Step 3: Next is this Super Serum Skin Tint which is a recent find of mind. It gives a light, dewy coverage that’s perfect for summertime. It also contains SPF and active skincare ingredients so I feel good about putting it on my skin.
- Step 4: Next I’ll add a little bit of coverage under my eyes using a dab of concealer mixed with a swipe from this glow wand. I love how these 2 look mixed together for a shimmery summer look.
- Step 5: Another new find of mine is this cream blush & bronzer duo stick. The 2-1 stick makes it so easy to add color in a few key points. But if I want an even more basic look, I may skip this step.
- Step 6: From the same company as Step 4, I’m also obsessed with this highlighting stick. I personally use this on my body but you can also use it on your face. If I’m going to be in a bathing suit and I’m looking for an extra glow, I apply this to my arms, legs, and chest. Or I may also apply it to my arms and chest if I’m wearing a tank top or v-neck shirt.
- Step 7: If I’m going to be out in the sun, I make sure I put sunscreen on my body too. Supergoop is my all time favorite sunscreen for my body and I use multiple types. If I’m just using the sunscreen by itself, I’ll use the Glow Screen because it already has illuminating features. If I’m using sunscreen in conjunction with the highlighting stick from Step 5, I’ll use the Body Butter and rub them into my skin simultaneously.
This simple 5 minute summer glow routine will be perfect for my upcoming beach and pool days. It not only gives me a dewy glow, but also protects my skin from the sun which is super important. I can also rest assured knowing that all of these products are from clean beauty brands, so I don’t have to worry about putting harsh chemicals on my skin.
