While it gives you a pearlescent glow after application, we love this sunscreen from Supergoop! because its lightweight texture won’t have you feeling sticky under the heat.

Speaking of primers, using a makeup serum can do wonders for your look, especially in harsh and humid climates. Take, for instance, the Glowy Makeup Serum from Laneige. Made up of 100% natural mineral pink diamond powder, this serum creates a translucent and sparkly base for makeup while delivering moisture to sensitive and dry skin. More importantly, it uses Light-Fit Prep Technology which identifies primary components of the dead skin cells and combines them with silicon for stronger skin adhesiveness, so your makeup stays locked in throughout the day.
