When you live in a colder climate, it seems like there’s an endless countdown to summer. As we approach the end of May, the countdown is mostly complete, but that doesn’t mean we’re ready to jump straight into summer; Some preparation is still required on the beauty front. For example, is your SPF strong enough to withstand the rays of the summer sun? Are your eyeliners sweat resistant enough? Can your skincare products also protect you from the sun? If you’re not ready, this month’s beauty and wellness drops can help get your bag ready for summer.
Below, we’ve rounded up the May 2022 releases we’ll be looking for all summer long, like the luminous highlighter from Donni Davy’s new Euphoria-inspired line and Bobbi Brown’s barely-there Jones Road Lip Tint. Read on for the beauty and wellness launches that should be on your radar.
Daily ACV Scalp Serum
If you’ve ever been amazed by the results of an apple cider vinegar hair rinse, this new serum from dpHUE will help you maintain that same energy beyond wash day. The serum uses a blend of apple cider vinegar, hyaluronic acid, and maca root to reduce shedding, soothe irritation, and balance the pH of the scalp. (Raise your hand if you didn’t know that your scalp had a pH that you had to keep balanced!)

When Halsey’s change-of-mind beauty creation launched last year, most of the reviews I read praised the pigments. These are not colors for the faint of heart, and the same can be said for the 13 new shades in this release, aptly titled “Eye F*cking.” Each of the gel liners has a silky-smooth application and won’t budge no matter how much you smudge or night sweat.

Simply add Rays Universal Translucent Glow Booster Drops
Caliray’s new tanning oil is tailor-made for beach days and hot summer nights, when you want to give your skin a hint of a tan. Whether you’re mixing it with your summer skin tint or adding a few drops directly after moisturizing, it leaves a glow that rivals the hours you spend in the sun, thanks to the soothing blend of walnut, Brazil nut, oil sunflower, and tocopherol, a form of vitamin E.

LED light therapy mask
There’s something delightfully sci-fi about an at-home LED treatment, and Shani Darden’s new light therapy mask is top notch. The mask is designed to treat everything from acne to hyperpigmentation to fine lines in as little as 10 minutes using red, blue and near-infrared light. This is the ultimate self care for the skincare obsessed.

lip tint
When it comes to lipstick, I trust Bobbi Brown. Jones Road’s new lip tint is Bobbi’s take on traditional lipstick. Like the rest of Jones Road’s low-key offerings, it expands on the idea of easy, playful, on-the-go makeup. But the best thing about Lip Tint is its versatility: it glides on with a smooth, subtle coat of color for everyday outings, but when you want a bolder finish, it’s super buildable for a bold finish.

leather finish
I used to be wary of powders because I didn’t want a cakey finish. But now, I rarely leave the house without a can of powder in my bag. Refy’s new powder is touted as “a makeup fixer that shrinks pores and eliminates unwanted shine,” and honestly, I’m sold. The formula absorbs excess oil without completely mattifying to give you a lit-from-within glow, not a sweaty cast.

Body gel soap
If you’re looking to clean up your shower routine (which, honestly, you probably should), Blueland’s first-of-its-kind body wash is a simple place to start. The waterless kit includes an empty bottle and a packet of powder. Once you’re ready to see it in action, combine the hypoallergenic moisturizing powder with some water, shake it up, wait an hour for the mixture to activate, and voila! You have a 100 percent refillable shower gel.

Everyday Glow Multivitamins
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if it’s good enough for Gwyneth, it’s good enough for me. Goop’s new multivitamin is designed for wellness from the inside out. Thanks to the combination of vitamins C and E, carotenoids lycopene and beta-carotene, it supports healthy hair, skin and nails, while maintaining top thyroid, bone health and brain function.

Duochrome Light Trap Illuminating Powder
When it comes to high-impact beauty, Euphoria’s makeup designer Donni Davy knows her stuff. If the dysfunctional but makeup-savvy teens of East Highland are your beauty inspiration this summer, Half Magic’s High-Shine Highlighter will give you a glow to rival Maddy or Kat.
