6 Most Common Beauty Mistakes You're Making in the Summer—and How to Fix Them
I've been writing for nearly 12 years. In the span of my decade-plus career, I've flexed my reporting skills while interviewing Hollywood stars, street fashion designers, clinical psychologists, and even governmental officials on a wide range of topics and interests, ranging from global health crises to astrological compatibility. One of my favorite areas to cover, though (outside of travel, of course) is beauty—whether it's breaking down which waterproof, smudge-free mascara is worth the buy or investigating the potential benefits of red light therapy. Luckily, as a frequent flier who loves makeup and has a dedicated skincare routine, travel and beauty do intersect at times. With summer around the corner and plenty of beach visits on my horizon, I decided to get the inside scoop on what summer beauty mistakes I should avoid this travel season. In order to do just that, I tapped board-certified dermatologist and associate professor of dermatology at Weill-Cornell Medical College, Dr. Elaine F. Kung, MD, along with Dr. Ainah U. Tan, MD, FAAD, board-certified dermatologist at Duly Health and Care. Curious to see what beauty mistakes they see most during the summer? Then, see the products they recommend using to avoid them, including SPF-infused lip balms and glow-boosting serums starting at just $5. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon Credit: Supergoop! Credit: Amazon The No. 1 summer beauty mistake Dr. Kung and Dr. Tan see? Not wearing enough sunscreen, and forgetting to reapply it throughout the day. Reapply SPF every two to three hours if you're outside, and if your summer travel plans involve lounging poolside or at the beach, bump it up to every 90 minutes, she adds. 'People often underestimate the intensity of the summer sun reflecting off the sand, water, ground, and windows,' according to Dr. Kung, who says that applying sunscreen too thinly, missing the ears, neck, and feet, and forgetting to lather up with SPF post-swim are some of the more common sunburn culprits. Both Dr. Tan and Dr. Kung swear by mineral-based sunscreens for blocking UVA and UVB rays; two of Dr. Kung's favorites include the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 and the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk. Dr. Tan added: 'Look for zinc or titanium dioxide as the active ingredients." To help you stay on top of your SPF application, Dr. Tan also suggests using more than one product that provides sun protection. SPF-infused setting sprays, mineral setting powders, and gel sticks are all genius ways to do so: 'For convenience throughout the day, especially when you're on the go, Colorescience Sunforgettable Brush-On Sunscreen is a great option." Credit: La Roche Posay Credit: Amazon Abrasive face scrubs and chemical peels can help slough off dead skin, but if used too frequently, especially on sensitive skin, they can harm the skin's barrier, leaving your skin raw, irritated, and more prone to sunburns and hyperpigmentation, says Dr. Kung. Dr. Tan recommends a high-quality vitamin C serum as a milder alternative to treating dullness and discoloration. The antioxidant is less harsh than other chemical exfoliants, and it can even help protect cells from damage caused by UV-induced free radicals. Just be sure to layer plenty of SPF on top. Dr. Tan specifically loves the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum. The powerful treatment contains 15 percent vitamin C, skin lipid-replenishing vitamin E, and ferulic acid, a plant-based antioxidant that further neutralizes free radicals. 'It's effective in fading sun spots and leaves the skin feeling really smooth.' For a more budget-friendly alternative, consider this La Roche-Posay Vitamin C serum, which is $45. While it has a slightly lower concentration of vitamin C and doesn't contain ferulic acid, it still helps to promote a radiant complexion, and the fragrance-free formula contains hyaluronic acid for a boost of hydration. Dr. Tan recommends you also add an antioxidant serum to your regimen if you're looking for another way to bolster your skin-brightening routine: 'Glytone makes an excellent one that helps combat the oxidative damage caused by UV exposure.' The serum contains azelaic and glycolic acid, both chemical exfoliants. Dr. Kung said that even those gentle exfoliants can make skin sensitive to sun exposure. 'If you use them, do so sparingly at night, and be meticulous with sun protection the following day,' she suggested, adding that gentler enzymatic exfoliants during the summer are also a great alternative to harsh peels and scrubs. Credit: Ulta Credit: Walmart Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon Summer activities naturally cause us to sweat more, leading to an increase in oil production. And, the unpredictable environmental factors involved with travel, like increased exposure to pollution and germs, can further antagonize acne-prone skin. To prevent clogged pores and blemish flare-ups while traveling this season, be sure to add a gentle yet effective facial cleanser to your toiletry bag. 'Choose mild, non-stripping cleansers to remove sweat, oil, and sunscreen without disrupting the skin barrier,' suggested Dr. Kung, who recommends cream cleansers, foam cleansers, and micellar water. For consistently clean skin on your summer travels, Dr. Tan recommends kicking off your morning routine with a gentle cleanser (both she and Dr. Kung love the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser) before applying your other skincare products and makeup. Once you're ready to turn in for the night, give your skin another cleaning (after removing makeup, if you're wearing it) before diving into your nighttime regimen. Credit: Amazon Credit: Ulta Credit: Amazon Credit: Sephora Retinoids have become increasingly popular for their ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and even fade aging spots and acne scars. While dermatologists love retinoids for stimulating collagen production, the experts warn they should be used in a particular way, especially in the summer. Dr. Tan said that both over-the-counter retinol formulas and prescription-strength products, like retin-A and tretinoin, can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the likelihood of redness, irritation, and burns. This is because 'retinoids increase skin cell turnover,' Dr. Kung explained, noting that this results in newer, more vulnerable skin cells to emerge. Does that mean you have to ditch your favorite anti-aging products altogether? Not exactly. 'I don't typically advise people to stop using them altogether,' Dr. Tan explained, 'but I do emphasize the importance of being diligent about sun protection when using retinoids.' Dr. Kung echoes this, adding that diligent SPF application is 'crucial' in order to prevent retinoid-related sun damage. Another way to protect your skin from retinol-induced sunburns while traveling is by only using retinol during your nightly regimen. Dr. Tan continued, 'If you're using anti-aging products like retinoids, those are best applied at nighttime." Credit: Dermstore Credit: Amazon Read my lips. Your pout needs sun protection, too. 'The lips are particularly vulnerable to sun damage and can easily burn,' says Dr. Kung, who noted that neglecting SPF on the lips is one of the more common summer beauty mistakes she sees. This season, treat lip sunscreen as a non-negotiable, because according to Dr. Kung, it is one. One option Dr. Kung loves is EltaMD's UV SPF 36 Lip Balm. It's paraben-free, non-comedogenic, and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes of wear, keeping lips hydrated and protected. For a budget-friendly alternative, she recommends the shea butter-infused Aquaphor SPF 30 lip ointment, which is formulated to help soothe dry, chapped lips. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon Unless you have extremely dry skin, eczema, or live in a particularly dry climate, save your rich face creams and body butters for the winter. Thicker formulas can clog pores when combined with hot or humid weather and sweat. 'While beneficial for dry skin in cooler months,' Dr. Kung began, 'they can feel heavy and greasy in the summer heat and humidity, potentially contributing to acne breakouts.' Instead, Dr. Kung recommends lighter, non-comedogenic formulas that won't clog your pores, 'like lotions, gels, or serums containing hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, and ceramides.' These skin-loving ingredients provide the plumping hydration your skin is craving without weighing it down or promoting excess oil production. Love a great deal?

Since the incident, the company has reportedly lost around £300 million, having paused online orders and purchases on apps until at least mid-July. Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3. Vegan Collagen Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4. The Rise Of AI AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level. 5. Hair Loss Solutions - Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health. Shoppers were eager to find the beauty bag for themselves after seeing Nicky's post on the Facebook group ,Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. One person wrote: "Brillaint buy, love mine." Another commented: 'My store has sold out." "I was there first thing 8am to get mine on Thursday," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Got one yesterday... some lovely things, and just in time for holiday." "I got one on Thursday. It's really good. Worth the money and no minimum spend,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I got this in store. It's great. Definitely worth the money."

25+ Vacation Beauty Essentials Vogue Editors Swear By All Summer Long
Summer is upon us, and you know what that means—it's time to set your OOO and pack up your vacation beauty essentials in a chic carry-on. Whether you're jetting off to the Amalfi Coast or mastering the art of the city staycation, the key to breezing through the heat lies in a well-curated beauty bag. Vogue's editors are no strangers to a passport stamp (or a packed subway platform at 80 degrees), and they've fine-tuned their seasonal beauty arsenal accordingly. Vogue's Summer Beauty Essentials From featherweight skin tints that won't melt mid-tour to cream blushes that mimic the flush of a sun-drenched afternoon in Ibiza, our favorites are all about low-lift radiance. Scroll for 25+ summer beauty and vacation essentials, handpicked by Vouge's staffers. The Glow Getter 'My vacation essentials are centered around glow, obviously! To wit, I stock my carry-on with a few illuminating solutions for the body. Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc lends a lightweight, non-glittery sheen; as does Kopari's shimmering gel which also offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. For face, I rely on a sunscreen fluid—easily reapplied throughout the day. And what better way to round out the good vibes of a getaway than a sparkling fragrance? Tory Burch's Sublime utilizes a blend of rose, Osmanthus flower, and mandarin that has garnered me too many compliments to count.' —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen $33 AMAZON Tory Burch Sublime Eau de Parfum $125 NORDSTROM The Sun Drops 'My summer essential is always SPF—because I burn at the mere suggestion of sunlight. I love these Sun Drops because I can mix them right into my moisturizer or foundation without disrupting the rest of my routine.' —Lilah Ramzi, contributing editor Dr. Barbara Sturm Sun Drops Face Sunscreen SPF 50 $160 NORDSTROM $160 BLUEMERCURY The No-Makeup Makeup Staples 'In keeping with my non-comedogenic routine, all of my complexion products must be acne-safe, especially when beating in the seasonal heat. Chanel's gel tint provides enough coverage without clogging pores or feeling heavy. Meanwhile, VB's concealer pen is perfect for spot coverage. My olive skin tans immediately upon stepping in the sun, so SaltyFace's tanning water keeps my face matching the rest of my body with a natural glow. Last but certainly not least, there's always a lip liner in my bag—this one stands the test of time through sweat, humidity, and drinking plenty of water. Best of all, my summer go-tos are great for every day, or tossed in my carry-on.' —Conçetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer Saltyface Tanning Water $44 GOOP Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil Extreme Waterproof Lip Liner $26 NORDSTROM The Barely-There Tinted Lip Balm 'I swear by this lip color in the summer. It's glossy—but not sticky—and provides the perfect hint of color for a great no-makeup makeup look, ' —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director: Saint Laurent Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick $42 NORDSTROM The Beachside Beauty Bag Picks 'One thing that's always in my summer bag is Rhode's pocket blush. I love putting it on when I go to the beach—it adds that sunburnt touch to my cheeks even if I'm lathering myself in sunscreen every 30 minutes! Also, my hair hack after coming out of the ocean is to not wash it and instead use the Heavenly Hair Milk from Emi Jay so that my waves dry without frizz.' —Irene Kim, production and editorial coordinator The Tinted SPF 'When it comes to face sunscreen, I'm a La-Roche Posay loyalist. It's a lightweight, mineral-based formula that won't leave your skin feeling cakey or greasy—a must for my fellow rosacea- and eczema-sufferers. Not only does it not leave the cursed white cast, but the tint helps even out my complexion. I've all but replaced foundation with my sunscreen—and I even get compliments on how good my skin looks.' —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer La Roche-Posay Anthelios Tinted Sunscreen SPF 40+ $40 AMAZON The Flushed Cheeks and Full Brows 'Summer is the season of lightweight makeup and dewy skin and, like many others, I like to keep things minimal. My essentials are a glowy base, flushed cheeks, sculpted brows, and a glossy lip— just enough to feel pretty and put together with little effort. Saie Glowy Super Gel is the perfect product for a glistening, hydrated base—I wear it alone or use it as a primer for extra dew. My go-to brow gel is from Half Magic because it gives me long-lasting definition without leaving any residue. For blush, Saie's liquid formula is my favorite lately. Lastly, a berry lip balm from Laniege is truly never not in my summer bag for its high-shine, and perfect subtle pink tint.' —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app The Radiant Sunscreen 'I didn't realize how much I relied on this sunscreen until I ran out. I kept thinking I could skip restocking —until every morning felt off without it. Now that it's back, so is the glow everyone keeps asking about. Won't make that mistake again!' —Sache Taylor, special events director The Fail-Proof Eyeshadow and Blush 'My summer makeup routines are all about ease! Eyeshadow sticks and liquid blushes always make it into my vacation beauty bag because of their easy application. These from Ilia and Nars swipe on effortlessly and last in the heat and ocean air. Tried and tested!' —Alexandra Ditch, associate producer The Subtle Nail Color 'The new limited-edition Blanc Orage shade of Les Mains Hermès nail polish is exactly my summer beauty attitude! Easy, breezy, sheer, iridescent, and just one coat enhances my natural nail color but dries fast enough for me to move onto the next thing without debossing it in accidental fingerprints.' —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large Hermès Les Mains Hermès in Blanc Orage $66 HERMÈS The Minimalist Beauty Duo 'I prefer a less is more approach to makeup. A beauty editor friend recently gave me this Dior lip balm and I'm so into it—it gives a dewy, natural flush with a hint of glow that is neither shiny nor sparkly. This will be going everywhere with me this summer and beyond. I also swap tinted moisturizer for EltaMD's tinted SPF. It's a great daytime alternative for great sun protection with a little bit of coverage.' —Daisy Shaw-Ellis, jewelry director Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm $40 NORDSTROM Elta MD UV Clear Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 $43 AMAZON The Multipurpose Hair Oil 'Whether I'm tackling unruly flyaways in a slick back bun or smoothing out fluffy curls for a summer wedding, Kérastase hair oil is my best friend. There is truly no weather condition too hot, humid or sticky for this magical concoction.' —Florence O'Connor, associate content manager Kérastase Elixir Ultime L'Huile Original $62 AMAZON The DIY Freckles 'I just got back from a trip to London and the English country side—needless to say, these two summer beauty favorites of mine were in my carry-on luggage. For starters, I'm obsessed with Freck's pen to emphasize the freckles I already have (and create new ones!). To hold my DIY beauty marks and makeup in place, I've switched out my primer for Milk's illuminating primer to amp up my summer glow.' —Molly Barstein, audience development associate manager

The 12 Products You Need Now for an Effortless Summer
Nothing says summer like naturally glowing skin that's been kissed by the sun and lived-in hair that's been graced by the ocean. If summer isn't the time to embrace effortless style, then when is? Let your freckles take the spotlight (there's good reason our favorite It-girls have been known to draw theirs on). As for frizz? Consider it the chic new synonym for salty beach waves. If you haven't caught our drift, we're calling it now. The name of the game this summer is all about no-fuss, low-maintenance, and completely pared-back beauty style. We've curated your ultimate top shelf of 12 high-performance essentials from Bluemercury that simplify your routine without sacrificing results. From skincare-infused SPF and multi-tasking makeup to hair and body heroes, these products are designed to work harder so you don't have to–leaving you more time to soak up endless beach days and less time in the mirror. The Not-So Basic Basics If you only buy three products this season, make them these. Start with the ultimate base, Augustinus Bader The Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 with TCF8. This clean, lightweight formula offers broad-spectrum protection while supporting long-term skin health through the brand's signature TCF8 complex. It's where skincare meets suncare–and exceeds expectations. Next, a few swipes of Ogee's Crystal Contour Collection will go a long way. A trio of versatile sticks, these crystal-inspired shades of bronze, blush, and highlight, are buildable, blendable, and perfect for on-the-go glow. No brushes needed. Finish with Damage Reverse Serum by Virtue, a cream-to-serum treatment powered by Alpha Keratin 60ku to reverse damage, strengthen strands, and reduce breakage–consider it summer rehab for your hair. The Top Shelf Revamp If you're ready to upgrade (or perhaps overhaul) your entire top shelf, we have your ultimate lineup covered. In the sunscreen department, M-61's Perfect Body Spray Sunscreen delivers broad-spectrum protection with a luxurious coconut vanilla scent. Packed with antioxidants like vitamin E, green tea extract, aloe vera, avocado oil, and lavender, it hydrates, dries quickly, and leaves no white cast–ideal for beach days, lounging poolside, or a stroll in the sun. For extra sweat and water resistance, Supergoop's Play Everyday Lotion with Sunflower Extract SPF 30 is a fast-absorbing formula that's perfect for outdoor workouts and long hours under the sun. For skincare that quenches like a tall glass of water, reach for the cult-favorite, Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum. This award-winning hyaluronic serum delivers deep, lasting moisture and visibly plumps skin. Think of it as the white t-shirt of your skincare routine. The Everyday Beauty Look When it comes to makeup, this is the moment when doing the bare minimum will pay off. Lune + Aster's Vitamin C+E Lip Gloss offers high shine with a sheer tint and a nourishing antioxidant blend. Available in a range of summery shades–from golden peach to sorbet–it's moisturizing, wearable, and transitions seamlessly from day to night. We recommend keeping one in every bag. Pair it with the Victoria Beckham Concealer Pen–a second skin formula that brightens, conceals, and visibly improves your complexion over time. It's the only overage you'll need. The Au Naturale Go-To's For hair care that embraces a summer state of mind, R+Co's Essential Air Dry Blow Dry Crème will do the trick for frizz-free, smooth strands, whether you're air drying or heat styling. Finish with Maria Nila True Soft Argan Oil that softens and strengthens all hair types, without weighing hair down. Notes of vanilla, rose, and jasmine evoke summer in a bottle. Body care that levels up? Vacation's Shimmer Oil is the black tie of sunscreen, boasting two types of show-stopping shimmer—a pearlescent glaze alongside larger gold mica flecks as well as a blend of naturally derived oils that will turn any poolside moment into a dazzling evening out. As temperatures continue to rise, stay fresh with Evolvetogether's Deodorant. This plant-powered formula absorbs sweat, neutralizes odors, and most importantly, actually works. Feel fresh and smell great. Yes, both are possible. This summer, less really is more. With these 12 essentials, you'll spend fewer minutes getting ready and more time enjoying the season in all its radiant, sun-drenched glory. See you on the beach.
