What's Summer without the luminous skin, salty hair, and bronzed body to show for it? The convenient part is that you don't even need to hit up the beach to get that golden glow. You just need to stock up on the right beauty products to help bring out your inner mermaid . . . or sun goddess . . . or sea queen — or all three! From timeless staples to trendy new products, ahead, we share the best bronzers, body oils, suncare products, and more to help you look and feel like your most radiant self, with or without the beach trip.
Body Oil
This luxurious body oil [1] ($90) blends natural oils, hyaluronic acid, and omegas to help you achieve a dewy radiance from head to toe.
Bronzer
Get instantly sun-kissed skin with this powder bronzer [2] ($30), which you can use all over for a natural-looking flush or to contour. It delivers buildable color from sheer to rich with long-lasting payoff.
Shimmer Cream
The secret to a celebrity-worthy glow lies in this tube of shimmer cream [3] ($65), which is like highlighter, but for your body. Apply it down the center of your arms, legs, and décolletage and let the light-reflecting formula give off the illusion of longer, leaner limbs.
Sunscreen
A Summer glow is never worth it if it's not a healthy one. Protect your skin with this SPF 50+ sunscreen [4] ($40), which applies as a clear and lightweight formula and contains technology that makes it effective even when exposed to water or perspiration.
Fragrance
From salty air to tropical flowers to sunscreen-lathered skin, this fragrance [5] ($126) bottles the best scents of Summer for you to experience again and again with each spritz.
Lip Gloss
Magical mermaid lips are just a swipe away thanks to this lip gloss [6] ($19) that you can layer on top of your favorite lipstick or wear alone.
Bronzing Mousse
Achieve a bronzed body sans sun damage by applying self-tanning mousse [7] ($32). This formula is lightweight, easy to apply, and fast-drying for a convenient and healthy tan.
Exfoliating Moisturizer
It may sound counterintuitive, but keeping your skin well-exfoliated will actually help extend your Summer tan. Use a moisturizer [8] ($65) that contains exfoliating acids to slough off dull skin and reveal a soft, silky, and smooth complexion.
Sea Salt Spray
Beach hair, don't care! This sea salt spray [9] ($27) is a beloved beauty bag staple for achieving effortless, textured, and voluminous waves.
Eye Shadow
One swipe of this eye shadow [10] ($48) across your lids will deliver a pearly wash of seafoam green for a mesmerizing mermaid effect.
