Beat the Summer Sun With These 10 Skin Care Products

Call forth your inner Blue Steel.

When summer comes around, guys tend to let their routines fall by the wayside. I get it: Vacations, barbecues, ditching the office to go lounge by the pool. Whatever the reason (especially that last one), when the temperature picks up, life picks up alongside it. And yet, that's no excuse to forgo your skin care regimen. I don't care how many weddings you have next weekend, you can set aside fifteen minutes to polish your face. Just stock these 10 brands in your medicine cabinet; you'll maintain an Adonis-like tone all summer long. And now that that's settled, the only thing left to do is figure out your summer outfits.

La Roche-Posay

Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer SPF 30

$20; buy now at laroche-posay.us

It's undisputed fact: You should wear sunscreen every single day—more so in the summer. Any old sunscreen will cut it, sure, but a scientifically-backed one is even better. This is the first prebiotic sunscreen to the market; it boasts an improved moisture barrier—that's how moisture stays in—and features microbiomes that fight germs and give you a vitamin boost. Plus, it's SPF 30, so you'll dodge a burn. And that's what skin care is all about.

Kiehl's

Lather this on after washing and shaving but before your moisturizer or nightly moisturizer. This serum is jam-packed with highly concentrated ingredients such as adenosine (which builds collagen), cypress extract (this strengthens skin), and a potent blend of proteins (to firm and improve elasticity).

Lab Series

You may think that harnessing the power of a meteorite that's been here longer than any of us is better left to NASA. You'd be wrong. The folks at Lab Series have imbued their face cream with something called "meteorite extract," which, yes, is as awesome and rejuvenating and cosmically badass as it sounds.

Dermalogica

dermalogica skin care

Nightly Lip Treatment

$49; buy now at dermalogica.com

Lips lack the strateum corneum—that's the protective outer layer—that facial skin has. What's more, lips are only up to five layers of skin, whereas facial skin has up to 16. In short, your lips are prone to aging. Dermalogica's overnight lip treatment works when your body is in recovery mode, utilizing Indian gentian extract, shea butter, and apple extract to keep those lips supple and smooth. And to make sure you actually snooze through the entire treatment, learn the 10 tricks for getting eight hours every night.
