What to pack in your summer toiletry bag: essential products to care for your skin in the sun

Summer brings sun, heat, humidity, and more time spent outdoors. All of this directly affects your skin, so adapting your skincare routine isn't optional—it's essential. Preparing a well-thought-out summer beauty bag is key to keeping your skin healthy, hydrated, and radiant all season long.

Beyond the classic sunscreen, there are other essential products that are good to have on hand to protect your face and body from the effects of heat and sun.

Gentle and refreshing cleanse

Pure Skin Cleansing Foam – Dr. Schrammek
Removes dirt and impurities without drying. With bamboo and water lily, it soothes and refreshes skin after a hot day.

Deep hydration with lightweight textures

Heavy creams can feel heavy in summer. Opt for serums and gels that absorb quickly and keep your skin hydrated from within.


Hydr8 B5 Serum – Medik8
It contains hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights and vitamin B5. Ideal for providing hydration without leaving shine.

Daily sun protection

The most important step in any summer routine. Continuous sun exposure can cause premature aging and sunspots if not properly protected.


Sun Drops SPF 50 – Dr. Barbara Sturm
A serum-based sunscreen with a lightweight texture, antioxidants, and anti-aging properties. Protects against UVA and UVB rays.

Eye contour care

The sun, chlorine, and sea salt can cause swelling and dehydration around the eyes.


Hydra Maximum Eye Fluid – Dr. Schrammek
Reduces fatigue and revitalizes the eye area. Ideal for applying in the morning and before makeup.

Light face cream

When temperatures rise, the skin craves lighter textures, especially if it is combination or oily.


Face Cream Light – Dr. Barbara Sturm
Balanced hydration and fast absorption. Perfect for warm climates and skin that gets clogged up with heavy formulas.

soothing after-sun

After sun exposure, skin needs to soothe and regenerate. An aloe vera gel is a must-have in your toiletry bag.


Aloe Vera Gel – Dr. Barbara Sturm
Contains 90% organic aloe juice. Refreshes, hydrates, and helps repair skin after sun exposure.

Nighttime anti-dark spot treatment

Summer doesn't have to mean the appearance of new dark spots. Using the right treatments at night and sun protection during the day makes all the difference.


Melan Tran3x Gel Cream – Mesoestetic
With tranexamic acid and niacinamide, it prevents and reduces dark spots. Ideal for skin prone to hyperpigmentation.

Body firming cream: don't leave it out

Your body care routine should also be maintained in summer. There are light formulas that won't cause discomfort even in the heat.


Bodyshock Intensive Mist – Mesoestetic
Body mist with a firming and anti-cellulite effect, ideal for areas such as the abdomen and hips.

Hydration from within

It's not all about the makeup bag. Your body needs more water in the summer. Drinking enough and eating water-rich foods are part of skincare.

Key tips:

• Drink at least 1 extra liter of water per day.


• Prioritize fruits like watermelon, melon, and pineapple.


• Incorporate brightly colored vegetables: tomato, spinach, carrot.


• Add cold infusions with mint, ginger or hibiscus.

Summer calls for a change in routine. Carrying a beauty bag adapted to the heat and sun exposure will help you maintain radiant, protected, and balanced skin. With the right products, you won't just survive the summer, you'll enjoy it with your skin looking its best.
