Summertime is my favorite time of the year — it’s when my curls come out to play, my skin feels unstoppable, and my legs are tanned and feeling glowy. Supplementing this, comes a collection of cult-favorites that I always fall back upon. My top five summer beauty cult favorites are all vegan and cruelty-free, and they’re sincerely worth every penny.

Stepping up to the plate: the perfect cleanser. Sweat, SPF, build up from makeup — finding a face wash that will cleanse your skin deeply is very important during the summer months. When I came across the “Golden Hour” Face Wash, I knew instantly its ingredients would balance gorgeously with my oily-to blemish prone skin. Infused with turmeric, a blessing of an antioxidant, vitamin C & E, and pineapple for anti-inflammatory properties, it leaves my skin feeling nourished and bright, and above all super clean.
