It's been 17 years since Destiny's Child sang those famous words, but it seems everyone is finally ready for this jelly — jelly beauty, that is. Adding a little bit of fun into our everyday skin care regimens, jelly cleansers are making cleansing feel like less of a chore, jelly highlighters are providing a one-of-a-kind glazed look and jelly masks are giving skin major bounce.
There are no ifs, ands or buts about it — applying sunscreen is an absolute MUST. We're talking a nonnegotiable skin care step that you simply cannot skip. But here's the other (very important) part of the sun protection puzzle: Reapplication, which you really should be doing every two hours. And as militant as we are about sunscreen, reapplying that often seems, TBH, unattainable and unrealistic. That's where sunscreen powders come in. A quick dusting will give you the protection you need, without messing up your makeup, making powders choice for touch-ups throughout the day. (Not to mention that because they're powders, they also help tamp down unwanted mid-day shine.) Pro tip: To make sure you're fully shielding your skin from the sun, swipe an even coating across your entire face, twice. Check out eight of our favorite sunscreen powders here.
We get it, sunburns happen to the best of us. Even some of the most avid sunscreen wearers end up extra crispy after a day outdoors. Perhaps you knocked out for hours by the pool or maybe you were stuck somewhere extra sunny without your SPF stash to reapply.
Perfumes are wonderful for all seasons but let's be honest: they suit summer best of all. After all, there's something magical about the perfect fragrance's ability to capture all of your summer dreams — and literally bottle them up into the prettiest bottles ever. So, whether your summer consists of jaunts to the South of France, languorous days by the pool, time spent out and about with your friends (or a mix of all three), keep reading to find your favorite new summer perfume.
A golden tan is always in for summer (especially when it's paired with a playful swimsuit) but roasting ourselves and leaving skin exposed to the sun's damaging rays is most definitely out. The negative effects of the sun are well documented, which is why we're always looking for sunless ways to get our tan on. Self-tanners are one way to achieve a golden glow without risking UV damage and sunburns, and they're more practical than liberally dusting bronzer from head to toe. But not all self-tanners are created equal: Instead of a bronzed goddess look, the wrong product can turn skin Oompa Loompa orange.
