Every season has its beauty routine—but summer? That’s when I really lean into skincare that feels fresh, breathable, and gets results. Over the years, I’ve tried so many products, but these are the ones I keep reaching for again and again. They’re the kind of products you use down to the last drop, then immediately add to cart before you run out.
I’m 54 and have been using most of these for over a decade—and if you’ve ever been curious to try them, now’s the perfect time: Use my code DESIREE20 to save 20% on all Colleen Rothschild products site wide. It’s a great excuse to restock or finally try that face oil everyone raves about.
If you’re craving that healthy, glowing, “I just got back from vacation” skin this summer—these will absolutely get you there.
The Beauty Products I’ve Bought More Than Once—Especially for Summer
Dual Enzyme Polish
This is my secret for baby-soft skin. It gently exfoliates while brightening, leaving my face smooth, glowing, and totally prepped for makeup or moisturizer. I use it 1–2 times a week year-round, but especially in summer when my skin needs a refresh from SPF and salty air.
Weekend tip: I love using this on a slow Saturday morning to reset after a busy week—it instantly makes me feel more put together.
Face Oil No. 9
This oil is pure magic. It hydrates deeply without feeling heavy or greasy, and I wake up every morning with my skin looking way more rested than I feel. In the summer, I like to cocktail a few drops with my moisturizer for an extra dewy glow that never looks oily.
If you’ve been on the fence about face oils, this is the one that’ll convert you.
Clarifying Detox Mask
This mask is like a reset button for your skin. After a few too many hours in the sun or wearing makeup in the heat, this clears everything out and leaves my face looking calm, clean, and balanced. It’s gentle, effective, and a must-have in my weekly routine.
I always carve out time for this on the weekend—it’s my little at-home spa moment to wind down and give my skin the love it deserves.
Sheer Renewal Cream
This has been my forever favorite daytime and nighttime moisturizer for years. It’s oil-free, lightweight, and makes the perfect base for makeup. I especially love that it smooths everything out without ever feeling thick or sticky. And when I want that ultra-hydrated look? I mix it with Face Oil No. 9 before bed.
A summer staple you’ll want to have on repeat—especially under tinted SPF.
Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream
This little tube packs a punch. I use it daily—even on no-makeup days—because it instantly brightens, hydrates, and smooths my under-eyes. The subtle tint gives a natural glow that makes you look awake and refreshed in seconds.
It’s the kind of product you’ll throw in every travel bag—and repurchase forever.
