Best Lightweight Products To Help You Beat The Heat
Meet our lightweight beauty solutions for the hot and sticky weather.
When it’s too hot outside (and even indoors) to function, it’s understandable to want to skip your skin or makeup products—because no one really wants a beauty meltdown, right? Rich face creams can feel stifling and sticky as you sweat, while heavy foundations can easily turn your face into an oil slick.
This is precisely why it’s important to make little tweaks to your product lineup every time the season changes. Clearly, the hot months call for lightweight, more breathable formulas to help keep us fresh when battling high temps and humidity. Moisture is also crucial to ward off dryness especially after sun exposure, but what you want is the refreshing kind of moisture—nothing heavy or smothering.
Whether you need a quick summer pick-me-up, weightless sun protection, or barely-there coverage, we’ve got the best lightweight beauty essentials here:
