Warmer weather doesn’t just mean switching up your wardrobe, it requires some adjustments on the beauty and skincare front, too. The rich, indulgent moisturisers used to soothe skin through the cold months at the start of the year are swapped out for lightweight alternatives, and full coverage foundation is replaced by tinted moisturisers and gels as thoughts turn towards sunny getaways. A year-round essential, SPF becomes the most important consideration in the summer months.
Vogue’s beauty team is constantly trialling new products, but every member of the team has come to rely on certain failsafe summer staples year after year. They share them below.

“No matter the time of year, you will always find SPF in my beauty repertoire. I wear sunscreen every single day. I am obsessed with it, and come summer, I mainline it. I have many faves, but I have a real soft spot for Clé de Peau because it feels very much like skincare and makes my skin look so amazing that I don’t feel the need to wear much make-up.”

“No surprise: both of my summer beauty picks are creams. As an especially diligent moisturiser (twice a day, every day, whole-body-top-to-toe), I devote just as much time to the skin on my body as I do my face. It’s a niche stance, but one I’m passionate about. To replenish my perma-dry skin, I rely on Beauty Pie’s Super Healthy Skin Deluxe Body Moisture Crème. Rich and whipped, it feels like slathering my body in custard (in a good way). Then, to protect against the ageing, drying, and generally not good effects of the sun, I keep a jumbo-sized Supergoop! Play Everyday SPF 50 on hand.
