Summer is underway and we can feel the heat between our toes as we step out of our homes and into the sweat! I put together a little Summer Essentials kit with everything from skincare and sun care to tanning and hair faves. I’ve tried them all and I can say they 100% #JulesApproved

Physical fusion UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 is a tinted sunscreen with broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. It’s weightless and it not greasy which I love. I legit never leave my home without a nice smear of sunscreen and I don’t usually reapply unless I’m poolside and the Skinceuticals definitely lasts a full city day.

Another amazing daily moisturizer is infused SPF 47 protection against UVA and UVB rays is the Josie Maran - Argan Oil Moisturizer SPF 47 Protect & Perfect. I love Josie Maran products because they are all made with Argan Oil and smell absolutely sensational. But, the big kicker is that they actually work well too and are good for your skin on a deep, hydrating level. Even this moisturizer.

Coola has long been my favourite since I discovered them a few years back. It’s a spray sunscreen, which I love. Organic and clean, it sprays without a greasy feel. Coola - Body SPF 30 Spray is a family favourite and won’t break the bank. I have the kids sunscreen as well.

We wash, we moisturize, but do we nourish? I do! . Esthederm- Sun Bronz 3 Soleils Dry Oil is an ultra-nourishing body and hair suncare oil, that optimizes your natural tan and helps your skin look younger longer. A dry oil that is honestly a real sensory experience, you’ll want to try it out just to know what it feels like. Promise! Use code MADEMOISELLEJULES for free shipping with your next purchase.

Bioderma- Photoderm SPF 40 is probably the sunscreen you’ll find in my purse at all times. It’s an easy and small bottle that is the perfect take along and works wonders when the sun gets piping hot. Bioderma has been around for so long and at the forefront of science and dermatology, I just trust anything they do.

Colore Science- Sunforgettable loose mineral sunscreen SPF 50 is probably the coolest sunscreen technology you’ll ever get your hands on. Legit, it goes from loose powder to sunscreen (even applied OVER makeup!) in a split second. I love this on-the-go application and bring it along with me on all vacations (hopefully one coming soon!!!)

Skincare gets all the attention, but what about your hair? Rene Furterer- 5 Sens Enhancing Dry Oil is a unique blend of five natural plant oils, that protects and nourishes the hair, leaving it soft and shiny. You can actually apply it on the body as well and the natural, yummy fragrance it emits stimulates your senses.

Lanolips has been my go-to when it comes to lip balm for quite some time. I talk about them and list them in top 10s all the time. The 101 Ointment multi-balm Coconutter is the perfect multi-purpose ointment because it does all the things you need it to do. In fact, I usually smooth a bit on before bed as part of my nighttime routine.

The “Alexis” in Sun Champagne Tortoise from French Kiwis are the sunglasses I instantly fell in love with. I knew I loved them because I couldn’t decide which to get! Affordable and the perfect fit for so many face shapes, I am obsessed with these ultra-wearable wayfarer style sunglasses. Hand-made and designed here in Montreal, I am a huge fan and big supporter! #supportlocal!

When I created the Summer Memories x Mlle Jules PERLA Eyewear chain, I knew it would be the “it” hit of my summer, and guess what? Summer has barely begun and I can’t stop wearing it! Made with freshwater pearls and white glass beads, I added a small gold-plated evil eye charm as a special detail to keep the negative away and bring in positivity. I wear the Perla 6 ways: as an eyewear chain, mask chain (hopefully done with soon!), earpod chain, bracelet or necklace (long or wrap around). It’s the most versatile and wearable piece and I’m so excited to be able to share it with you.

There you have it! My Top 10 Summer Essentials. As you can see, I have a little thing for suncare, as should you. You can’t be a sun bum if you don’t take care of your skin and protect yourself against the harmful rays. That, plus a cute pair of sunnies and chain to hang them on and you’re all set!
