I don’t know about you but I try to wear little to no makeup during the summer. It is so hot and I hate sweating and having makeup on makes my face feel icky. So I only wear makeup in the summer, if it is absolutely necessary. When it comes to my skin during the summer; I try to find the best products to keep my skin fresh and glowing. Luckily, I was able to find a perfect skincare routine for the morning and night with Dr.Dennis Gross’s products. Below, I am going to give my review on each product and talk from the point of view of someone who has combination skin.
Cleanser
The Hyaluronic Marine™ Meltaway Cleanser is a great and easy-to-use face wash. You put the cleanser on while your skin is still dry and rub the product into your face. The lady who does my facials told me to start doing this with my old cleanser. She says that putting a cleanser on your face dry helps the product set into your pores. This allows it to removes dirt, oil, and makeup from your face. This product is oil-free, hydrating, and a makeup remover in one. I personally love the texture as it’s like a water-gel texture. I believe that the product has a lemon scent to it but no lemon ingredient is in the product. One thing, I will say is that I did use the product after wearing a full face of makeup. It did not break the makeup as I wanted. I had to use more of the product to remove my makeup. This product cost $40. It works best on combination, dry, balanced, oily, and sensitive skin.
Exfoliate with Daily Peel
My biggest problem is forgetting to exfoliate at least once or twice a week. So these Alpha Beta® Ultra Gentle Daily Peel are the perfect addition to my skin routine. They are easy to use and super gentle on your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. They have two wipes that you use. The first wipe is an exfoliate and smooth wipe that helps remove dead skin. The second wipe is an anti-age neutralizer that helps in uneven tone, texture, and hydration. I really love this product because helps with minimizing my pores. It is also starting to help my skin to look fresh and glowing. This product comes in a 30 pack for $88. If you feel that your skin can handle the extra strength daily peel. It comes in a 30 pack for $88 and a 60 pack for $150. The extra strength can be used for combination, balanced, and oily skin.

These three products are perfect to keep your skin looking fresh and not having the need to wear makeup during the summer. Another one of their products, that is a must is their SPF product.
