Some folks wake up with dewy, perfectly rosy cheeks, slightly flushed and Instagram-ready. The rest of us? We need a little extra time to cover up breakouts or, ya know, brush our teeth. With the many sunscreens, weather shifts and sweat that summer produces, it is smart to double-up on your acne treatment and prevention, if your skin is overly sensitive. And not just on your face, but all over your body too, since this season requires the least amount of clothes. Consider this quick body spray that's made with salicylic acid to arm your pores. A quick spritz and you can get back to magazine-reading or podcast-listening by the shore. You lay down, it protects.

This cleanser and face mask in one is super easy and will have you feeling — and looking! — refreshed in less than 10 minutes.

Tomorrow, you will proudly stand next to your best friend as he or she marries the love of their life — and so will this major, big-as-your-nose zit. Ugh. A busy summer schedule means your longest time "lounging" is when you finally have a good night's sleep. Before you pass out from overbooking yourself, apply this acne stick-on treatment. As a bonus, you can actually wear it under concealer to help flatten the surface of your zit and no one will know the difference. Win-win!

As the busiest time of year for traveling, you might be catching more than just one flight between Memorial and Labor Day. That constant air traffic and stale air doesn't leave your skin happy, making an in-flight mask a smart solution. The only issue is many masks require you to wash off the solution, which is no easy task in a pint-sized airplane bathroom. To the rescue are these masks that cater to whatever you're in need of: dryness, puffiness, you name it.
