Beat the Heat: Summer 2025 Beauty Tips you Need to Know!

By Alayah Brantley and Anna Villalobos

Summer is arguably the most active season! From swimming to barbecues, outdoor activities take center stage in most people's social schedules. And as the seasons change, it's important to adapt your skincare and makeup routine accordingly. 

Consider your skin’s needs with each weather shift—for example, if your skin requires extra hydration in winter, it may benefit from clarifying or mattifying ingredients in summer. Not only should you adjust your skincare, but your makeup routine should also evolve. Opt for long-lasting formulas and consider waterproof products to withstand the heat. 

Below are some of our favorite skincare and makeup tips to help you transition your beauty routine for summer. Let's get started!  

Adjusting Your Skincare Routine for Hot Weather: 

Switch to Lighter Products

Summer is not the time for a full beat. Using lightweight makeup in thin layers will keep your look fresh and clean. You should start with a clarifying skincare routine to remove excess sebum, oil, and sweat. Ingredients like niacinamide and chemical exfoliants help keep your skin healthy while controlling oil production. 

Follow up with a water-based moisturizer to maintain your skin’s barrier. Incorporating hyaluronic acid at this step will help your skin feel fresh and plump. Now is not the time for heavy cream-based moisturizers or thick skin creams. And more than ever, SPF is a must—make sure you’re using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Broad-spectrum SPF protects against both UVA and UVB rays, which penetrate the earth’s ozone layer and can damage the skin, increasing the risk of skin cancer. Look for SPF 50 or higher and reapply throughout the day, especially if you’re spending time outdoors. 

Lightweight Summer Makeup 

For makeup, you can double up on sun protection by using a primer that contains broad-spectrum SPF. Many options also offer mattifying or hydrating-grip technology, depending on your skin’s needs. Next, use a tinted moisturizer or BB cream to even out your complexion. 

Apply light layers of bronzer and blush for a natural, sun-kissed look. Semi-permanent makeup is also a great option, as it lasts through water activities and sweat. Cheek and lip stains, as well as brow and lash tints, are perfect for long-lasting summer wear. 

Finally, set your look with an oil-control setting spray or a waterproof spray, depending on your plans for the day.

humidity from causing makeup to melt and get patchy. If shine appears throughout the day, blotting paper is a quick and easy way to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup. For an instant refreshment, try a hydrating face mist that can cool your skin and give it a natural glow. Carrying these essentials in your bag will help you stay fresh and flawless all day long, no matter how high the temperatures rise.
