Skincare in summer: light and protective
In summer, your skin produces more sebum and loses more moisture through perspiration. Rich winter creams can clog pores and feel greasy. The key is to switch to lighter textures that hydrate without feeling heavy, combined with strong sun protection.
Light hydration
Comfort Zone Hydramemory Light Sorbet Cream
A light gel-cream that hydrates without a greasy feeling. Developed for normal to combination skin and warm climates. Contains macro hyaluronic acid and prickly pear extract that strengthens the skin barrier. Ideal as a daily cream under your SPF in summer.
Daily protection
Comfort Zone Sun Soul Face Cream SPF50+
Anti-aging facial sunscreen with high UVA/UVB protection. Water-resistant and fragrance-free. Absorbs quickly and forms a good base under makeup.
ASAP Moisturising Daily Defence SPF50+
Combines SPF50+ with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Light, non-sticky and suitable as a daily cream. A no-nonsense choice that protects and hydrates.
Lashes and brows: ready for summer
Summer is the perfect season to give your lashes and brows a boost. Strong, naturally full lashes mean less reliance on waterproof mascara and extensions. A lash serum can help improve the condition of your lashes, making them look fuller and stronger — even without makeup.
RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner
The world's most famous lash serum, developed by an ophthalmologist. Apply it nightly to the clean lash line. After four to six weeks of consistent use, you can expect the first results: lashes that look fuller, longer, and stronger. Available in multiple sizes.
RevitaBrow Advanced Eyebrow Conditioner
The same concept, but for your eyebrows. Ideal if you want your eyebrows to grow fuller or if they have thinned due to over-plucking. Use it daily for the best results.
Tip: Start using lash serum now if you want to see results before your summer holiday. Most people notice a difference after four to six weeks. This way, you can enjoy a natural full lash line on holiday without extensions.
Makeup in summer: mineral and light
Heavy foundation in summer heat? Rather not. Your skin needs to breathe, and a thick layer of makeup combines poorly with sweat and sun protection. Mineral makeup offers an ideal solution: it is light, breathable, and naturally contains sun-protective minerals.
beMineral Foundations
beMineral foundations consist of pure minerals — without synthetic additives, silicones, or parabens. They provide natural coverage that lets your skin breathe, are suitable for sensitive skin, and naturally offer light SPF protection. Available as loose powder and in pressed powder format. Ideal for touching up your SPF during the day with a lightly covering layer.
beMineral Bronzers and Blushes
For a healthy summer glow without the sun. The mineral bronzers give a warm, natural tint. The blushes add subtle color without burdening your skin. Talc-free and suitable for daily use.
The combination of mineral makeup over a good SPF is ideal in summer. The minerals in the foundation provide an extra layer of physical protection, while the light texture remains comfortable in the heat.
The complete summer routine step-by-step
Morning:
1. Cleanse with a mild cleanser
2. Light serum (niacinamide or vitamin C)
3. Light day cream (e.g., Hydramemory Light Sorbet Cream)
4. SPF at least 30 (e.g., Sun Soul Face Cream SPF50+)
5. Mineral foundation (e.g., beMineral Foundation)
6. Mineral bronzer or blush for a summer glow
Evening:
1. Double cleansing (oil-based + mild gel cleanser)
2. Hydrating serum
3. Light night cream
4. RevitaLash lash serum on the clean lash line
Weekly:
Mild exfoliation (1-2 times per week) to remove dead skin cells and maintain an even base for your makeup.
What belongs in your beauty travel bag?
On holiday, you want to keep it simple. Here's a checklist of essentials:
• Facial sunscreen SPF50+ (water-resistant)
• Body sunscreen SPF30 or 50
• Aftersun or aloe vera gel
• Mild cleanser (preferably travel size)
• Light moisturizer
• Lash serum (don't interrupt your routine on holiday)
• Mineral foundation or pressed powder (light, compact, multi-functional)
• Lip balm with SPF
Tip: On holiday, pause the strongest active ingredients (retinol, high concentration AHA). The combination of sun, sweat, and active acids can irritate the skin. Focus on protecting, hydrating, and cleansing — that's all you need.
Frequently asked questions about your summer beauty routine
Can I apply mineral makeup over my sunscreen?
Yes, that's even a good combination. First, apply your sunscreen and let it absorb. Then apply the mineral foundation with a brush. The minerals provide an extra layer of physical protection on top of your SPF.
Should I stop my lash serum when I go on holiday?
Preferably not. Consistency is important with lash serum. The product takes up little space and is easy to take with you. Apply it every evening after cleansing, just as you would at home.
Is mineral makeup waterproof?
Mineral makeup is naturally quite water-resistant because it does not contain water-based ingredients. It is not completely waterproof like a heavy foundation, but it holds up well on a warm day. With a lot of sweating or swimming, reapply it afterward.
Can I replace my day cream with an SPF?
You can if your SPF also contains hydrating ingredients. ASAP Daily Defence SPF50+ contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide and is suitable as a day cream replacement. Do you have dry skin? Then apply a light serum under your SPF for extra hydration.
Which makeup is best for acne-prone skin in summer?
Mineral makeup from beMineral is free of pore-clogging ingredients and allows the skin to breathe. It is one of the best options for acne-prone skin — even in summer.
