Skincare Diaries: Travel Products That Keep Your Skin Hydrated Amidst the Summer Heat

May welcomed New Yorkers with the warm weather we thought was coming. But any smart resident would know our June is going to be hotter than we thought. While there’s not much to prep our closets for since we reach for flowy dresses, shorts, and tanks, our vanities beg to differ. Melting makeup and sunkissed (but actually, sunburnt) cheeks are the usual suspects of summertime beauty. To stay dewy and hydrated, and not oily or sweaty, here are our favorite summer beauty products to have handy whilst you travel this summer.
