  1. Sunscreen: Super Goop for Oily Skin

No summer essentials list would be complete without sunscreen, and for those with oily skin, Super Goop is a game-changer. Its lightweight formula offers excellent sun protection while controlling excess oil, keeping your skin fresh and shine-free. Remember to apply it generously to all exposed areas before heading out in the sun for a worry-free day of fun. (I heard trader joe's has a DUPE!)



2. A Good Moisturizer

If you want the best-looking skin this summer you need this duo. Now one of my home girls gave me the "skin so soft" body oil so don't ask me where to get it but just know it gives a lovely glow and the softest skin I've

ever experienced. Keeping your skin hydrated is essential, regardless of the season. During the summer, when exposure to the sun can cause dryness, a good moisturizer becomes even more important. Look for lightweight, non-greasy options that provide deep hydration without clogging pores. Applying moisturizer regularly will help maintain your skin's moisture barrier and keep it looking healthy and plump.



3. Organik Bontanik Goat Body Milk Scrub

Exfoliation is key for maintaining smooth and radiant skin during the summer months. The Organik Bontanik Goat Body Milk Scrub is a heavenly product that gently removes dead skin cells, revealing a rejuvenated and glowing complexion. Enriched with nourishing goat milk and natural ingredients, this scrub will leave your skin feeling soft, supple, and ready to soak up the summer sun. The only place I was able to find this is TJMAXX but any natural body exfoliator made with sea salt will do.



4. Blissful Days Wood Wick Soy Candle

Create a serene and soothing atmosphere in your living space with our Blissful Days Wood Wick Soy Candle.
