To help you discover what’s worth adding to your summer lineup, we curated a list of must-haves that will keep you glowing all season long. 

Wake Up to Radiant, Refreshed Skin  

Long summer days can leave your skin feeling dry and dull—give your skin the boost it needs with an overnight mask. Anew Vitamin C Overnight Radiant Mask works while you sleep to help you wake up to a brighter, more refreshed complexion. Formulated with powerful antioxidant vitamin C and nourishing sunflower seed oil, this mask helps visibly improve skin tone and texture, making it a perfect addition to your summer beauty routine.

Chill and Tone  

Hot summer days can leave your skin feeling overheated and parched, which is why Beyond Glow Cooling Centella Toner is a seasonal essential. Infused with soothing centella asiatica, this toner helps refresh and moisturize irritated skin from dryness. Our LG H&H insider Jaemin shared this favorite pick straight from our headquarters in Korea: “This product is good for summertime. It helps me cool down immediately and moisturize[s] my dry skin.” 

Achieve an Instant Glowy Pop of Color  

Whether you’re packing for a quick weekend getaway or are late for brunch with the girls, the GO by Glimmer Whipped Lip & Cheek Tint will be your summer makeup bestie. This airy, blendable formula adds a pop of buildable color to both lips and cheeks, giving you a fresh, sun-kissed look in seconds. Perfect for tossing in your bag, it’s an effortless way to brighten your look wherever summer takes you. 

Maintain Your Skin Care On the Go 

Have a jam-packed schedule? Maintaining your skin care regimen while traveling has never been easier. With peony extract and a firming complex featuring castor oil, moringa and argan oil, our Isa Knox LXNEW Ultimate Rejuvenating Balm Stick helps skin feel moisturized and look smoother with a visibly healthy glow. Apply it to the under-eye area, forehead and neck, or anywhere you want extra care. 

Stay Safe in the Sun  

Sun protection is essential all year round, especially if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors. Why not opt for an SPF formula with added skin care benefits? Isa Knox ANEW Solaire Everyday Face Protection Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50 protects your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays while also helping your skin feel hydrated, soft and smooth thanks to ingredients like niacinamide and peony extract. Perfect for daily wear, it leaves no visible white cast and layers smoothly under makeup. 

Keep Pesky Insects Away  

Backyard barbecues, hikes, picnics and trips to the beach call for double-duty protection, and Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535® Gentle Breeze® SPF 30 Lotion delivers just that. This lightweight, non-greasy formula helps shield your skin from both sun exposure and mosquitoes, deer ticks and other insects. With SPF 30 and soothing aloe and vitamin E, it’s perfect for outdoor days when you want to stay protected and comfortable from head to toe. 

Refresh and Strengthen Your Scalp 

Summer heat can do a number on your scalp, making it feel oily, itchy or irritated. In comes Organist Rosemary Mint Scalp Strengthening Tonic to the rescue. As LG H&H insider Juey shares, this refreshing solution “helps with [excessive] scalp oil and also helps cool down my scalp”—making it a must-have for keeping your hair and scalp feeling fresh all season long.
