What beauty products are you using this summer? While many prefer lightweight, easy‑to‑apply formulas that won’t feel heavy in the heat, the Cup of Jo editors have selected three summer favorites they love.
Jannelle’s pick: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
During my twenties I relied on a premium department‑store moisturizer, but after my second pregnancy my skin became extremely dry, and earlier creams merely sat on the surface rather than absorbing. After exploring more expensive options without satisfaction, I consulted a friend with eczema who recommended CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. Over two years of daily use, the cream has deeply hydrated my skin, leaving it radiant without excess shine, even on hot, sticky days. A single tub lasts at least five months, and many are surprised that such an affordable product delivers noticeable results.
Joanna’s pick: Tarte Cheek Plump and Tubing Mascara
On a recent glance in the mirror I noticed my complexion looked dull, prompting me to seek a subtle boost of color. I discovered two recent favorites: a rosy, dewy cheek plumper that can be built up for a natural look, and a tubing mascara that wraps lashes in flexible tubes for longer, thicker, clump‑free lashes. The product gives a wide‑awake appearance and keeps lashes separated.

Kelsey’s pick: Christophe Robin Shade Variation Mask in Chic Copper
I don’t typically have my hair professionally colored due to the time and cost, but I enjoy experimenting with tinted shampoos and conditioners. The Christophe Robin shade‑variation mask in Chic Copper is the best I’ve found. After shampooing, I apply it in place of conditioner and leave it on for five minutes before rinsing. The treatment subtly enhances my auburn highlights, adding warmth and richness without the drama of permanent dye. No gloves or special precautions are needed, and despite being a premium product, the minimal effort makes it feel like a treat.
How about you? Any beauty faves that you’re loving this summer?
