During the summer, I tend to get a bit more minimal with my skincare routine, opting for just one serum and moisturizer or a facial oil.

One of the best ways to prep your summer skin is with the right serum – and fortunately, there’s a formula for every skin need.

Everyone raves about this serum for good reason. It combines ferulic acid and pure vitamin C and E to protect your skin against environmental damage. It’s one of the only serums I swear by that evens out and brightens the skin. Apply this one at night before your night cream.

7. Glossier Super Pure Serum
Summer can be a time for skin meltdowns whether you’re stress eating or that time of the month is coming around. The mix of niacinamide and zinc in this serum work together to calm blemishes and redness. I love the gel-like texture, which just sinks into the skin. It’s one of the best serums for summer and works especially well during the day.

How To Apply It
Serums can be applied day or night after you wash your face and apply toner or essence – but before moisturizer. I like to massage serums into my skin while it’s still damp so that it penetrates deeper. You can read my post here for more on layering your skincare.
If you want to take your serums a step further, massage it into your skin with a jade roller or gua sha. This beauty tool really sculpts the face and will improve your facial contours over time. You can use these tools while you’re watching TV or scrolling through Instagram – they’re so effortless to incorporate into your daily routine!
