It’s Summertime.. That means warmer weather, more traveling, and more time spent outside. All of these things, plus not drinking enough water, can lead to dehydrated-looking skin. This is something that I personally struggle with. Of course we all want refreshed, beautiful looking skin, so when I look at skincare and products I should be using daily I always gravitate towards the ones that scream hydration. I was so excited to see that Neutrogena came out with a new Hydro Boost line! Not only did they include skincare, but they took it a step further and came out with hydrating sunscreen and makeup. It’s like this line was made just for me! Today, I want to share my summer skincare routine with you all.
Step One: Cleanse
The first step in my skincare routine is to cleanse my face. I have been using the Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel, which is a lightweight gel cleanser. It is so great for effectively removing leftover makeup, dirt, and impurities. This is key for those who struggle with acne! Along with the other products in this line, it contains hyaluronic acid which helps to moisturize while it is cleansing. I wash my face morning and night with this.
Step Two: Hydrate
Once my face is clean, I really love using the Hydro Boost Water Gel for my everyday moisturizer. It absorbs quickly and quenches dry skin, keeping it smooth, supple and hydrated. If you have a good skincare routine that leaves your face feeling fresh, moistened, and hydrated, you know just how much better your overall appearance is including your makeup. Your makeup goes on so much smoother and gives off that glow every girl wants. This moisturizer can be worn alone or underneath makeup. Which leads me into the next step…
Step Three: Beautify
After my face is cleansed and moisturized, I start applying makeup. I really love the Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine. It’s like using three products in one as it has the vibrant color of a lipstick, shine of a gloss, and conditioning of a balm. I really struggle with dry, chapped lips (especially in the summer) so the fact that this lip shine provides hydration for up to 24 hours is amazing!
Step Four: Protect
The last step I do before I am ready for the day is to make sure I am protecting my skin from the sun. The Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen Lotion (I use the SPF 50) provides protection and hydration with a water-light, refreshing feel. I love a great sunscreen that doesn’t feel like you are wearing sunscreen. It is also water-resistant which is great for taking the kids to the beach or pool. It leaves my skin looking healthy and moisturized virtually all day without any greasy residue or white marks, which is a huge plus!
With Summer coming to end we have been busier than ever. I’ve had to make it a point to keep up with my skincare routine. Every part of Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost line provides me with the hydration that my skin so desperately needs. PLEASE let me know if you try any of these products- I would love to hear your feedback!
