24 Tanned, Glowing, and Hydrated Products on a Beauty Editor’s Roster

shop in store is a monthly column dedicated to rounding up the latest arrivals, seasonal trends and styles from our favorite brands and retailers.

There are officially 24 days until summer, but who’s counting? I’ve been switching up my beauty products for several weeks, switching out my heavy-duty moisturizer for an SPF hybrid, taking my highlighters out of storage, and moving my body shimmer to the front of my cabinet. Summer isn’t just a season – it’s a lifestyle. It’s that time of year when my makeup is at its lightest, my outfits are at their least fussy, and my skin is at its most hydrated. I’m turning to four brands that are always around, but make a big splash during the warmer months. I’ve collected 24 products that are helping me achieve my goal of being tan, glowing, and hydrated this summer. Below, you’ll find body oils, SPFs, nail polishes, lip plumpers, and more.

They don’t refer to holiday sunscreen as “the world’s best-smelling sunscreen” for no reason. All it takes is one whiff of any of the Vacation products to feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical island. Don’t let the divine scent of these products distract from the efficacy. The brand blends tried-and-true ingredients with proven results, beautiful scents, and a luminous finish to create the ultimate SPF.

Although I use Tower28 all year round, it’s a brand I especially gravitate towards in the summer. The products are light, refreshing and feel like the perfect blend of skin care and makeup. My skin craves SOS Rescue Spray after a workout, and my summer makeup routine is incomplete without a matte powder blush.

Let’s not forget the stores that shaped our love of beauty. Did anyone else gravitate towards the makeup section at CVS as a child? These days, I turn to CVS for my self-care essentials, which often include nail polish, face masks, and hair products. Scroll through the site, and I guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the number of amazing brands you know and love.
