Summer 2025 Beauty Trends (And How to Actually Look Good in the Heat)
It’s official—this summer, beauty is going skin-deep in the best way possible. Think less contour, more character. Less layered, more dewy and undone. In other words: your real skin, but thriving.
Whether you're poolside, fireside, or sneaking out of the office for a rooftop spritz, here’s what’s trending—and how to prep your skin for a summer that doesn’t melt your face off.
1. Skinimalism, But Make It Glow
Forget the 12-step routines and full-coverage foundations. Skinimalism is back, but this time it’s not just about paring down—it’s about letting your skin flex. The focus is on barrier support, hydration, and glow that doesn’t come from a highlighter stick.
How to get the look:
Start with a clean face, mist with Glisten Up!, and seal in moisture with your favorite lightweight spf. Glisten Up! is powered by tremella mushroom (nature’s much stronger version of hyaluronic acid) to plump, hydrate, and help your skin hold onto moisture—even in the hottest summer air.
2. Botanical-Forward Everything
From chlorophyll water to plant-based retinols, the botanical boom continues. But this summer, it's not just about what you put on your face—it's how you treat your skin like a living, breathing ecosystem.
Why Glisten Up! fits the trend:
Our formula blends tremella mushroom with powerful antioxidant schisandra berry, making it the ultimate bioadaptive mist. Think of it as nature’s version of smart skincare—hydrating where you need it, soothing inflammation, and never overwhelming your skin in the heat.
3. Makeup That Moves With You
Cream blush, tinted SPF, and sheer washes of color are in. This season’s makeup is built to move with your face—and your sweat. But for that look to work, your skin has to be the star of the show.
The secret weapon?
A mid-day mist with Glisten Up! resets your skin without disturbing makeup. It revives tired skin, reduces the look of pores, and adds that freshly misted, dew-drop glow. No filter necessary.
4. Cold Therapy Meets Heat Protection
We're entering the age of contrast therapy—and your skin is along for the ride. Cryo sticks, chilled eye masks, and ice rollers are hot (ironically), but so is protecting your face from inflammation caused by UV exposure and summer stress.
Pro tip:
Store Glisten Up! in the fridge and mist post-sun or post-workout. It instantly cools and calms the skin with nourishing botanicals—no stickiness, no sting.
5. Sensory Skincare: Rituals That Feel Like a Salt Cave
We’re not just applying skincare—we’re chasing a feeling. Beauty in 2025 is immersive. Spa rituals are being reimagined at home: cold plunges, mineral baths, Himalayan salt rooms, and ambient sensory experiences that reset your nervous system and your skin.
Where Glisten Up! fits in:
This isn’t your average face mist—it’s your personal moment of sanctuary. A fine, cloud-like spray that mimics the calm of a salty sea spray. A subtle botanical scent that grounds you like an herbal bath. Hydration so tactile it feels like stepping into one of those underground spa pools in Iceland.
This is skincare you feel, not just see.
The Ritual for Your Best Summer Skin
Your summer skin ritual doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to be consistent—and designed for real life. Here’s how we do it:
Step 1: Mist with Glisten Up!
Step 2: Seal it in with a lightweight oil or serum (and spf!)
Step 3: Glow, sweat, thrive, repeat
