  12. K. Davis says

    Summer beauty means a higher SPF than my normal lotion and of course more hydration, so drinking plenty of water.

  53. Felissa (Two Little Cavaliers) says

    My new summer routine includes the New Botanical Line from Mary Kay (guess I need to mention that I am a consultant) but I really do love it and have been using it at least once a day since i opened the boxes. It is just the right everything for my skin for the summer for everyday.

  68. *°•ƸӜƷ Louis ƸӜƷ•°* says

    I stay hydrated and trying to avoid sun exposure at peak hours as much as possible

    I don’t use much makeup in the summer. My beauty routine is minimal. Basically, just some tinted sunscreen and mascara.

  100. Suburban Style Challenge says

    My summer beauty routine is generally the same as it is year round, but I make sure to exfoliate my body a little more and then moisturize super great (I use cocoa butter body oil). And I’m more likely to let my hair air dry instead of using the blow dryer.

  105. Jamie Brigham says

    I use an SPF lotion on my face prior to applying make up. I also use an Olay under eye dark circle cream.

  179. Holly Hook says

    I make sure to apply sunscreen to keep my skin naturally beautiful as long as possible

    hook6475 at yahoo .com

  185. Erica says

    My summer beauty routine is pretty much all about the sunscreen. It’s way to hot here to even attempt to wear a lot of makeup! Just protect the skin, toss on some water proof mascara and drink lots of water!

  192. Stacey B says

    A beauty routine i follow in the summer is a hair trim every month. it’s way too hot to be having long hair

  198. Jennifer B says

    I don’t have much in the summer, I am usually trying not to sweat off all my makeup…lol I do like cool cucumbers for my eyes on a hot day

  204. betty says

    I try to keep my skin clean and moisturized daily. I also try to drink plenty of water and get the proper amount of sleep.

  216. Leslie Galloway says

    During summer I pay extra attention to my legs and feet. Pedicures, Lots of exfoliation on the legs, and Neutrogena body oil.

  392. S Carter says

    In the summer I use a mattifying lotion during the day. I also use a stronger exfoliator.

    scarter305 at aol dot com

  436. Lynne Schryburt says

    My summer routine involves sitting in the backyard, reading a book while catching some rays. Don’t usually wear makeup, or sunscreen. I suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) so need as much sun as I can get to motivate me every day.

  479. clynsg says

    I don’t really do anything too differently in the summer–my routine is basically clean skin and moisturizer all year round.

  514. Tamara says

    I don’t change much during the summer – I like it simple. I do add in some form of sun protection though since we are outside a ton.

  536. monique says

    It’s simple (probably too simple): I wash my face int he shower with facial soap.

  539. 1955nurse says

    SSummer routine is to up the SPF, & try to use as many oil-free products as I can on my face!!!((1955nursehjc4me(at)myway(dot)com))

  540. 1955nurse says

    I already LIKE you (HollyCunningham) on FB ((1955nursehjc4me(at)myway(dot)com)) Thanks for the chance!

  544. Marilyn Wons says

    My summer beauty routine consists of using sunscreen and a daily facial moisturizer!

  550. Allyson Bossie says

    I do an oil wash, adding in salt every other day, and I hydrate morning and night with SPF morning

  559. Whitney Lindeman says

    I’m not much for “beauty rituals.” I wash my face a lot more in the summer, and shave my legs more, if that counts, haha!

  587. angie lilly says

    I don’t have much of a beauty routine ever…but in the summer I do tend to keep my toenails looking pretty and shave more than once a month! LOL

  588. brandy g. says

    I always put sunscreen with moisturizer on my face before I go out in the dun.

  589. Megan Z. says

    I use Salt Scrubs during the summer to keep my skin soft.

  618. Margaret Smith says

    My summer beauty routine is wearing a moisturizer with spf daily and making sure to wash my face at least twice per day.
    Thanks so much.

  629. Theron Willis says

    To contribute to a masculine beauty comparable to Greco-Roman statues, I do daily stomach crunches. The result is described by Protestants as “washboard stomach”, Italians as “ravioli”, and lower income Hispanics as a “six-pack”.

    Hope to win!

  635. Amber Porter says

    I exfoliate my face everyday and my body every couple of days.
    skipthelaundry at gmail dot com

  662. David Hodge says

    My summer beauty routine involves letting my beard grow for days, then shaving it off, just to do it all over again! I do the same for my head, but less frequent shaving!

    Here in the desert, we have to use lots of lotion, up to 3 times a day, 4 times on the elbows and hands.

  702. Tari Lawson says

    My summer beauty routine is to wear a high spf sunscreen with zinc oxide in it and to wash my face each night.

  716. mike s. says

    I tend to shave a little more often in the summer – but only because sweating under a beard is very very itchy! I’m always perfectly beautiful with absolutely zero effort 🙂

  718. Debra S says

    I clean with glycerin soap ONLY on my face. then, tone with witch hazel, and tinted moisturizer with sunscreen and A HAT in the sun, always. You would not believe how much younger and nice your skin looks if you stay out of the sun!!! My husband is only a few years older than I, he is a MULE about sun protection, and all our children remark that he looks 80 and I don’t even look 60 yet! The sun protection is ALL the difference. believe me.

  719. Sarah Hirsch says

    my summer beauty routine is making sure i wear sunscreen if i will be out in the sun

  723. DeeAnn S says

    The only thing I do differently during the summer months is to use a lighter weight and less fragrant body lotion. Thanks.

  743. Sylvie W says

    During the summer, I take care of my feet. I exfoliate, moisturize and apply nail polish. Hey, the tootsies will be on display:)

  762. Jasper says

    I don’t have much of a routine, other than washing and showering on a daily basis.

  767. Geo says

    Great giveaway, thank you! I try to absorb as much vitamin D from the sun as possible.

  829. JODI HARRINGTON says

    Summer is the time of year where I feel better, when I feel better – I look better. I don’t need to wear make-up – just look natural.

  832. Julie B. says

    My summer beauty routine is to wear moisturizer on my face, and when I go outside, it is lots of bug spray for me, as I tend to be a mosquito magnet!

  1166. Erin R. says

    My summer beauty routine is putting on a lot of sunblock! The more I am out in the sun, the more of those ugly brown skin spots I keep getting on my arms and shoulders!

  1176. Kate S says

    I am using a moisturizer w/ SPF now that I”m in the sun more. I’m also going to start trying serums and clay masks to help keep my skin soft and less oily!
