Summer 2024 is just around the corner, and it's not the time to get caught unprepared. Some are booking hotels and boat tours in advance, while others are thinking about which products to pack in their travel toiletry bags and what to buy to enrich their summer makeup with new allies. Saltwater, sun, wind, and high temperatures are indeed the main elements that every year tempt us to wear less makeup during this season, and rightly so. However, true beauty addicts often struggle to part with their own routine or simply love to feel super confident and flaunt a perfect face even during beach afternoons. Giving up makeup is not always the only solution to deal with the discomfort caused by sweat and heat! There are excellent alternatives to foundation that we use for the rest of the year, such as tinted sunscreens, face serums, and much more. Let's discover together which products and must-have brands should not be missing in straw bags.
How to do makeup without foundation? Tinted creams and more
In the collective imagination, sunscreen is associated with summer. As experts suggest, it is an essential product for our daily skincare routine and should also be used in winter. It not only protects us from UV rays and therefore from sunburns but also helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, freckles and dilated capillaries. However, the morning rush and the little time available often lead us to neglect this and other steps. The solution could be a hybrid, practical, and fast cosmetic. A great example is the Antipollution BB Cream by Collistar, which not only moisturizes the skin but also contains SPF 30 sunscreens UVB, just like the Suntouchable! Whoa Glow by E.L.F. And what if we added a third function? Garnier has thought of this with its Vitamin C daily UV glow, which combines the power of vitamin C with SPF50+ protection against UVB, UVA, and long UVA rays. For those who never skip this step, we recommend tinted creams as well as corrective ones such as Dr. Jart's Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting or Missha's M Perfect Cover, perfect for evening out the complexion and obtaining a luminous finish.

Bronzers and serums for those who love a glowy effect
If, instead, you want the words to describe your summer look to be healthy, hydrated, and radiant, there are products that you absolutely must add to your beauty cart. Topping the list are the face serums by Glow recipe in the transparent version but also in the sun glow version, which enhances and highlights the colors of the tan. These products are characterized by illuminating and moisturizing ingredients and by niacinamide, which helps smooth the skin day after day. Super Glow drops by Pai Skincare can also be perfect for you, giving a golden finish, kissed by the sun. Now let's move on to all those who would like to tan their face but have the sun as their number one enemy. What to do? The answer lies in self-tanners, such as the award-winning Tan Luxe The Face self-tanning concentrate and Clarins' illuminating self-tanning lotion.

Makeup is certainly not mandatory. In summer, sweat makes it difficult, and the feeling is that of suffocation. We have tried to provide you with some alternatives to foundation, from more purely cosmetic products like tinted creams and glow drops to more curative products like sunscreens. And if you want to get golden without the risks of the sun, here are the latest generation self-tanners, perfect for anyone afraid of the sun. Whatever your approach, remember: feeling cute and having self-confidence goes beyond makeup, and having healthy but imperfect skin is absolutely not a problem.
