Summer is already hitting like 45° and if you have combination skin like me—oily T-zone but also dry, flaky patches—you know it’s a whole struggle. In this video, I’m sharing the exact products I keep going back to every summer because I always tend to break out when I sweat more. Everything I mention is purely from my personal experience (honest + unsponsored), and I’ll always say this: every skin is different, so please patch test. I start with hydration and barrier support (because dehydrated skin in summer is so real), then move into texture and tone-evening. I talk about my absolute repeat buys like the COSRX 6 Peptide Skin Booster for smoothing texture and evening out tone, and how aloe vera gel is that one versatile product that instantly calms heated, irritated summer skin (I even use it on my scalp and for face shaving). For pigmentation and tanning concerns, I share what worked for me—like a 2% alpha arbutin serum—and I also explain how I alternate it with vitamin C instead of using both on the same day. And of course, sunscreen is non-negotiable: I compare budget-friendly vs splurge options, plus I also cover body sunscreens that feel light, blend in well, and don’t feel gross even if you sweat.
