Adriana, Executive Assistant & Office Manager
For flawlessly clear and protected skin all summer, I love combining my favorite products from La Roche-Posay’s and First Aid Beauty. I start with FAB’s Face Cleanser in the shower, followed by LRP’s 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum. Once that has been absorbed, I layer on FAB’s Ultra Repair Cream for hydration followed by La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios Clear Skin Sunscreen for protection. This daily routine keeps my skin glowing, hydrated and protected from the sun!
For my curly hair, I have my favorite summer mix for frizz-free coils down to a science. I start with Carol’s Daughter’s Hair Milk Refresher Spray to moisturize, prevent frizz and help detangle. I follow that with Biolage’s Hydra Source Daily Leave-In Cream for some definition and hydration. Then I seal my curls with L’Oréal Professionnel’s Curl Expression 10-in-1 Cream-in-Mousse to lock in my defined curls. Once the mouse cast has set, I shake out my curls to reveal a perfectly voluminous, crunch-free and frizz-free mane.

During the summer, I spend lots of time at the pool and playing beach volleyball. All of that sweat, chlorine and sun tends to take a toll on my hair. Before I head to the beach, I’ve been loving coating my hair with Matrix’s Food For Soft Oil and Fekkai’s Brilliant Gloss Multi Tasker Perfecting Creme, which has built-in sun protection, putting it into a braid and letting it soak in during my games.
When I get home from the beach, I typically condition with Matrix’s Food For Soft Mask, and once I’m out of the shower, I like to layer Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment and a few spritzes of Matrix’s A Curl Can Dream Scrunch N' Go Defining Spray to rehydrate and repair my hair while giving me the nicest beachy waves. This routine has saved my hair this summer!
Gabe, Assistant Director of Operations
I’ve been loving Baxter of California’s Exfoliating Body Wash this summer. With the increased heat of the summer, it just feels nice to scrub the sweat and grime of the day away. The magnifying glass effect the sun has on my car’s windows was cooking my face/neck during my commutes to and from work, especially as the summer is heating up and the UV levels are HIGH. Kiehl's’ Ultra Facial Moisturizer with SPF is my two birds, one stone solution for keeping me moisturized and sunscreened all day, especially for my commutes.
Miranda, Events Manager
During the summer, you can catch me in the sun any chance that I have. To protect my skin and add a little coverage, I use Elta MD’s Tinted UV Broad-Spectrum SPF 46.
Neeka, Account Coordinator
My ultimate summer must-have? Urban Decay's Face Bond! With my oily/combination skin, I need a foundation that can handle the NYC heat and humidity. Not only does It offer a long-lasting, natural matte finish but also includes skincare benefits, featuring 3% niacinamide. Combining makeup with skincare benefits is so helpful for my fast-paced lifestyle.

During the summer, we take my daughter swimming every weekend! While it is great family fun, it isn’t so great for my blonde highlights! I rely on Redken’s Acidic Color Gloss Collection to ensure that my blonde hair stays glossy and healthy and to fight off any damage that the chlorine tries to do to my hair.
