Skin care is getting its moment in the spotlight and we’re here for it. We understand the basis of a good beauty routine starts with healthy skin. When your skin is simply glowing, the rest of your beauty routine just seems so much easier. But we get it—the skin care world can be daunting, with thousands of products to choose from that address all sorts of different needs. That’s why we’re here to help.

Whether you’re looking to do a cleanse (pun intended) and purge all those products you rarely use or you’re looking to build a routine for the first time, this list is exactly what you’ll need. We’ve narrowed things down to five must-have products for the summer: a mask, cleanser, serum, sunscreen, and bonus facial mist for fun.

This routine will please both skin care experts and novices alike, but if you’re reading this and still thinking “too many things!” then do us (and really yourselves) the favor of at least incorporating a sunscreen into your daily routine. This is by far the most important on the list and should really be worn every day, year-round. You’ll thank us in 20 years, we promise. In the meantime, keep reading to learn more about our top five skin care picks to give your skin a little extra TLC!

These skin care products are our favorites, but there are so many others out there to choose from! That’s why we want to hear from you. What are your personal favorite products? The products you absolutely cannot live without. The ones you pack on every vacation and can’t wait to apply every day. Let us know in the comments below and we might just have to add them to our routine!
