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.

La Mer The Concentrate, $370
Full disclosure: I picked this up from a goodie bag at an event, but wow, my skin has never felt so soft. Any irritation from humidity, sun exposure, sea salt and the like is completely calmed, and my entire complexion is even-toned. I use a teeny, tiny amount on my face and neck daily, and dreading the day I run out because my skin happily drinks up every drop. The glow is real, y’all. Treat yourself.
