Whether you’re going to the lake or the sea, want to enjoy the good weather on a short trip, or simply want to experience summer with ease – with these summer must-haves you are perfectly equipped. Skincare, sun protection, self-tanner, fresh summer fragrances, and cute accessories: We show you what must not be missing in your summer bag 2025. Naturally, all naturally cosmetic and sustainably produced.

In summer, our skin also likes it a bit lighter: due to higher humidity, it loses less moisture to the environment and therefore doesn’t dry out as much. Rich creams and balms can take a break more often now. Instead, serums with liquid and gel-like consistency and refreshing toner sprays for in between are in demand. 

Quick tip: You can keep your skincare in the fridge for the ultimate freshness boost!

Sunscreen is the be-all and end-all in summer: without it, our skin is defenseless against UV rays and punishes us with painful sunburn. Cell damage can occur after just a few minutes, which in the long term promotes skin aging or increases the risk of skin cancer – sunburn is only the visible warning sign.

Even though the myth of the so-called natural protection of the skin persists stubbornly: this natural defense mechanism, depending on skin type, often only lasts a few minutes and does not replace sunscreen. A good sunscreen is therefore essential, even in the shade or on cloudy days. If you want to be safe, use at least SPF 30 and make sure to reapply regularly. 

Tanning in the sun is tempting and part of the summer feeling for many. But UV rays are a big strain on our skin. Even short sunbaths can cause cell damage that often only becomes noticeable years later.

A self-tanner offers a safe alternative to enjoy a summer tan without UV rays. The gentle coloring results from a reaction on the skin’s surface without damaging it. Additionally, self-tanners nourish the skin with moisturizing and natural ingredients, keeping the skin smooth and healthy. In short: self-tanners give you a natural summer complexion without the risks associated with sunbathing.

In the summer heat, we like to skip heavy foundations. Instead, we reach for light products like tinted day creams, BB creams, or just a touch of concealer where needed.

When it comes to colors, you can be a bit bolder: a fresh, bright cream blush brings life to the face, bronzer gives a sun-kissed glow, and colorful eyeshadow in turquoise or coral instantly creates a summer vibe. Glossy lips in fruity sorbet tones also perfectly match the light summer look.

Showering is especially refreshing after a hot summer day! To enhance the summer feeling, shower gels and natural soaps with zesty citrus notes, coconut scent, or invigorating mint are the perfect companions. Afterwards, a natural deodorant without aluminum is perfect to keep your underarms fresh.

When we switch back to shorter skirts and shorts, shaving becomes a big topic. A safety razor offers a skin-friendly and plastic-free alternative to conventional razors. It reduces skin irritation and razor burn, which is a big advantage especially with more frequent shaving in summer.

Dry brushing, the gentle dry brushing of the skin, is perfect especially in the warm season to stimulate circulation and gently exfoliate the skin. It helps remove dead skin cells and leaves the skin feeling soft. Dry brushing is ideal before shaving to prevent ingrown hairs. Body scrubs are also a great solution to free the skin from flakes.

Foot care also takes on a whole new meaning in summer, after all, we wear open shoes and sandals again. Treat your feet regularly to a gentle scrub and moisturize them with a light, hydrating care so they stay fresh and well-groomed all day long.

Perfumes for summer enchant with sparkling citrus notes, floral accords, juicy fruity notes, and green accords. These scents awaken our wanderlust and make us dream of Mediterranean coasts, blooming meadows, or exotic fruits.

When we sweat, we lose important electrolytes and minerals. Especially on hot summer days and after sports, it’s important to replenish these reserves.

Minerals are essential nutrients that our body needs alongside carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins to properly regulate its functions. Electrolytes are special minerals dissolved in body fluids and are essential for fluid and mineral balance as well as communication between organs and muscles. If the electrolyte balance is disturbed, you may feel weak, experience muscle cramps, or have concentration problems. That’s why it’s especially important in summer to supply enough minerals and optimally support the body.

In summer, not only nature becomes a bit more colorful, but also our accessories: with cute earrings and hair clips that look like delicious fruits or pretty shells, we can easily brighten up our outfits. Bracelets and necklaces in boho style are the perfect complement to airy linen blouses, summery maxi dresses, and light tops.
