15 New Beauty Products to Get You Through The Rest of Summer

If you're ready to throw the towel in on beauty routine by mid-summer, you're not alone. With the record-breaking temperatures and humidity, spending time and effort on applying a full beat or doing your hair seems like a waste when you'll be a sweaty puddle once you go outside.

While AC, pools, and handheld fans can help you physically stay cool on all of the hazy, humid days, there's still the matter of summer-related beauty struggles. And that's where this month's batch of new product launches come in.

For anyone dealing with sweat and mask-related breakouts, Herbivore's Aquarius moisturizer gently exfoliates clogged pores and soothes skin. And for dry lips from breathing through your mouth while wearing a mask? Well, Fresh has a nourishing lip mask for that. As far as makeup goes, you don't have to ditch your matte lipstick in the heat. Kilian's liquid formula is waterproof (and scented with one of the brand's signature fragrances).
