Summer might seem like an easy skin season, but the harsh sun and air conditioning reveal otherwise. That’s why it’s important to keep up a skincare routine all year round. Luckily, the latest launches make it easy to do so. From Pat McGrath’s essence that will give you a gorgeous glow to new brand Jori that keeps breakouts at bay, your skin will be happy and healthy all season. These are the best new skincare products of summer 2022 to nourish your skin from head to toe.
Chanel Sublimage The Radiance-Renewing Eye Serum
Good news for summer: You don’t need heavy eye cream for major results. This serum proves a featherweight formula can be just as effective. Dark circles, wrinkles and fine lines are minimized while brows and lashes get conditioned. That means skin is instantly more radiant, firmer and denser, courtesy of the regenerating perks of polyfractioned vanilla planifolia and solidago extract, a firming ingredient cultivated from a wild plant in the French Southern Alps. $320, chanel.com
Jori Daily Leave-On Acne Treatment Mask
Even a dermatologist’s wife gets breakouts. When that happened to Cori Zeichner, she realized most products out there weren’t designed to deal with adult acne, so she teamed up with her New York City derm husband, Dr. Joshua Zeichner, to create Jori, a line designed specifically for that. This incredibly lightweight water-gel mask can be used daily, whether as a spot treatment or all over an area that’s breaking out. It also doubles as an overnight face mask. In addition to treating current pimples, it prevents future ones. JORI’s proprietary active botanical blend tackles the impact of hormones, diet and stress on skin, which are the leading factors of adult acne. The non-irritating formula also features micronized 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. $52, joriskincare.com
