Nail Polishes
For summer, I like to go bright with my mani and pedi. I usually stick with corals and pinks. Some of my top picks? Essie Tart Deco and Sunday Funday.

Lips
The same rule applies to my lip color. One product I’m loving right now is Neutrogena Lip Soother. The gloss has SPF 20 and a cooling glaze. You can wear it alone for a slight dash of color, as if you just ate a cherry popsicle. Or layer it over your fave lipstick for a bolder statement.

Face Sunscreen
Nuance Salma Hayek is a line that’s exclusive to CVS. And their face sunscreen is amaze! I use the SPF 50 Sheer Liquid Veil. I hate having to aggressively rub in my lotions. This one is so light that it glides on the skin and is oil free.

CC Cream
My cheeks get really red in the heat. So I like to layer a tinted moisturizer over my face sunscreen to balance out my skintone. CoverGirl + Olay Tone Rehab smooths out your skin while hydrating as an added bonus.

Body Sunscreen
I’ve always been a fan of sprays over lotions. Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Spray has been my go-to for years because I’m obsessed with the scent! While I use SPF 50 on my face I usually only do SPF 15 on my body. But it comes in higher protection, too.

Deodorant
If I know I’m going to be out all day, I’ll bring an antiperspirant spray in my beach bag. I like how Dove Beauty Finish Dry Spray goes on clear so you don’t have to worry about any white spot while you’re laying out with your arms above your head!

Face Wipes
The minute I’m out of the sun, I’ll use face-wipes to get rid of sweat so I don’t break out. Simple Radiance Cleansing Wipes are specifically made for sensitive skin, which is perfect for a long day at the beach or pool.

Sydne-Style-how-to-protect-your-hair-from-pool-chlorineHair Repair
While salt water gives you those beachy waves, chlorine can majorly damage your hair. One little trick is to wet your hair with regular water before diving into the pool. Then when you’re showering later in the day, use a hair mask at least 2-3 times a week. I find L’Oreal Advanced Haircare Total Repair Balm especially great for color treated hair.

Foot Saviors
To prevent major calluses I use a foot file and pumice and the bottom of my feet every time I’m in the shower. It really helps after walking in the sand all day. You can use it with a foot scrub or simply with your regular body wash. CVS has a great line called Beauty 360 full of essentials for your feet, nails, brows and more.

Aloe
Whether I have a sunburn or a tan, the minute I dry off from the shower I’ll apply aloe. I find traditional ones very sticky, so I prefer a spray (I know, a very common theme for my beauty essentials!). CVS Aftersun Aloe Vera soothes and hydrates… and even sprays upside-down!

Body Oil
After applying aloe, I hydrate even more with a body oil. I’ve found doubling up on these two products really prevents peeling. I generally apply over my whole body before going to sleep, then on my arms and legs in the morning. Nuance Salma Hayek Dual Phase Body Oil has a yummy coconut scent.

I hope you like my beauty products round up. Feel free to ask any questions below! And make sure to join CVS Beauty Club. When you sign up, you get a 10%  off shopping pass!
