Summer Essentials

During the summer and hot weather, your skin needs breathable hydration and ultimate protection. Add these Lancôme products to your summer skincare routine:

• Hydration: Apply Génifique Ultimate Recovery Serum, a lightweight serum shown to help repair the skin’s moisture barrier and accelerate skin surface renewal.
• Antioxidants: Apply Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum, a face serum rich in antioxidants, like Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid, to help soothe and protect skin from oxidation caused by damaging free radicals.
• Sun protection: Finally, never step out without applying your SPF—Supra Screen Invisible Serum Sunscreen SPF 50+ protects against UVA and UVB rays with SPF 50+, plus Niacinamide, Vitamin Cg, and Hyaluronic Acid to help correct visible aging signs.
• Acne-prone skin: Add an acne clearing serum like Clarifique Bx-Interceptor™ Acne Treatment to your summer routine to treat and help prevent acne blemishes and reduce the appearance of excess oil.

For flawless coverage that resists heat, humidity, and sweat, Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation is the best foundation for summer. Its breathable, up to 24-hour longwear formula provides a natural matte finish that won't melt or transfer, even on the hottest days. If you prefer a dewy finish and lighter coverage for the season, opt for our Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Foundation, our sweat-resistant foundation offering medium, buildable coverage powered by a hydrating serum base.

To avoid smudges and raccoon eyes by the pool or beach, switch to a waterproof mascara, like Lancome’s iconic Lash Idôle Waterproof Mascara—a summer must-have for lifted, fanned-out volume that stays put through sweat, humidity, and ocean dips. If you want dramatic volume without dramatic smudging, reach for Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara, which delivers up to 24 hours of smudge-proof, big-volume wear.

Typically, yes. As temperatures and humidity rise, heavy creams can feel suffocating and lead to excess shine. Swap your rich winter creams for lightweight moisturizers and serums in the summer. Our Hydra Zen Gel Cream provides refreshing, plumping hydration that absorbs instantly, making it a smart choice for warm-weather skincare routines.

Warm weather calls for fresh, floral, and uplifting signature summer fragrances.

Idôle Eau de Parfum is modern, fresh, and bursting with bright citrus notes, combined with fragrant rose and jasmine florals. Idôle is the perfect scent to inspire French girl confidence all summer long.

La vie est belle, our iconic perfume, is a floral gourmand with a twist of sparkling sweetness that blooms beautifully in the summer heat.

The secret to long-lasting summer makeup is all in the prep and finish:

1. Prime: Use a grip-enhancing base like UV Expert Defense SPF 50+, which acts as both a sunscreen and a makeup primer.
2. Set: Skip heavy powders and set your makeup with a refreshing setting spray like Skin Idôle Makeup Magnet Setting Mist to lock in your look with up to 24-hour wear.
