Don’t let your complexion take a beating.

As of today, it is *officially* summer, which means I am one very happy Leo. There’s nothing I enjoy more than spending lazy afternoons by the pool or at the beach, soaking in the sunshine and splashing around in the water. Unfortunately, that means my skin takes a beating from salt, chlorine, and of course, the focus of my main love/hate relationship, the sun. Dark spots, uneven texture, dehydration, clogged pores—take your pick of skin ailments, because they’ll all emerge in the months ahead. But like any other season that requires you to give your skin some extra attention (looking at you, winter), there’s a whole bevy of products that cater to your complexion’s warm-weather needs. Take a cue from my skin-care playbook with these 12 products, and enjoy glowing, hydrated skin until fall.

Peach & Lily Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser, $28
I try to avoid heavy cream cleansers in the summer, when my skin is already craving breathability. With a pH of 5.5, this Peach & Lily formula doesn’t strip your skin, but still leaves it feeling deeply clean. I love that I can pat dry with a towel and I don’t immediately feel like I need piles of moisturizer.
