SPF
I think that a good SPF is crucial during summer months. Two of my favourite SPF's are La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ Tinted Fluid and Vichy Capital Solei 50+. La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ Tinted Fluid is perfect for those with oily and acne prone skin, it has a very light milky consistency and it doesn't leave my skin looking shiny also it doesn't cause breakouts and it has a bit of a tint to it, which is perfect for me because I rarely tan my face, so thanks to this my face matches my body. Second favourite is Vichy Capital Soleil 50+. This one is more of a cream, its perfect if you have normal to dry skin. If you have oily skin you still can get away with using it just don't use a moisturiser under it. As you can see both of them are very high SPF's, thats because I think that the more protection you get when you young the less wrinkles and sunspots you have when you get older. Another great products are daily moisturizers with SPF. nspa Brightening Day Cream SPF 15 is really good for those that don't need a very high SPF on daily basis, its very lightweight and gives a skin nice glow.
Self tan.
I absolutely hate hate laying out in the sun for hours and tanning, thats why self tanners are just perfect for me in the summer months. They quick and easy and give you a lovely brown tan almost instantly, no burns and no need to fry your skin. Two of my favorite ones are St Moriz Instant Tanning Mist and Dove Summer Glow for darker skin. The St Moriz Instant Tanning Mist as the name suggest is a bronzing tanning mist that gives you a lovely brown colour as soon as you apply it and lasts for days. Out of the all St Moriz products this is my favourite one. The St Moriz Tanning Mist is a kind of product that you only use once or twice a week, however on daily basis I use the Dove Summer Glow gradual tanner. This makes my tan lasts longer and gives my skin lovely golden glow.
Refreshing Mists
Refreshing mists are a must for me during the hot weather. They are really great way to keep your make up looking fresh and also to cool down. Some of my favourites are The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist, Mac Fix+ and nspa Revivalist Vitamin Toning Mist.
Make up
When its hot I always try to keep my make up to absolute minimum, bit of BB Cream, some bronzer finished off with setting powder and I'm good to go. For daytime make up my favourite is the No 7 BB Cream, its very lightweight, gives medium coverage and nice glow to the skin, also I find that its long lasting. Another favoutrite is the Kiko BB Cream, I usually go for it when my skin is more oily than usual because it doesn't add much moisture to the skin. Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser is my go to product when I want a bit more coverage. Its very lightweight, easy to apply and smells really nice and fresh. Bronzer is a must for me whenever I'm tanned, simply because I rarely tan my face. Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel is the best bronzer for me. I have done a review on it here. If I want a bit more coverage for the evening or during the day I usually go for foundation that offer medium build able coverage, are oil free and light weight. My favourites are Bourjois Healthy Mix and Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. Rimmel Wake Me Up offers bit more coverage than the Bourjois foundations, but its still lightweight and doesn't feel or look heavy when worn during hot weather.
Hair
I hate hate using wax or putty hair products when its hot, I find that they just melt on my hair in hot condtions leaving my hair looking like a greasy mess so thats why I switch to hair mousse in summer season, it keeps my hair in place and it dosen't make them greasy. My favourite is Wella Shockwaves Shine and Body. Also something that I try to use on regular basis is a sun protection for the hair. My absoulute favourite was Revlon Professional Sun Care Hydra Screen, however it looks like Revlon has stopped selling it because I can't find it anywhere, but if you can get your hands on it then definitely try it. At the moment I use Vo5 Ultimate Hold 5 Vital Benefits hairspray which also offers UV protection.
Fragrance.
I avoid wearing heavy fragrances when its hot for the obvious reasons, instead I go for light and fresh scents. My favourites are CK One, Prada Infusion D'Hommes and Marc Jacobs Bang.
