Ah, Summer Fridays. It's one of my all-time favorite brands, a beautiful escape into a carefree, sunny wonderland where self-care and skincare coalesce. I've always loved its focus on easy, breezy, natural beauty—everything from the clean formulas, minimalist and sustainable packaging, and ethereal aesthetic. I also admire its co-founder, Lauren Ireland, who's living proof that you can balance work, motherhood, and life at once with grace, but I wanted to know how.
"Wellness as a whole has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember, and I really valued the love and care I showed my mind and body, so that has led to a career surrounding self-care," Ireland says. For her, that means prioritizing wellness habits, many of which are free. "Protect yourself in the sun, drink water, move your body, take a daily probiotic, avoid picking at your face, and practice daily gratitude," she advises. "I think when we feel full on the inside, we look even more glowy on the outside."
How else does Ireland fill herself up? Makeup and skincare. "While I obsess over products, I crave simplicity, which led to my love for finding (and now, creating!) products that are easy and effective," she says. I approach my own beauty routine in the same way and can't help but mention that my desert-island skincare product, the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask ($49), is also Ireland's. "It's truly the most versatile, ultra-hydrating product that I use in so many different ways. We sell one every two minutes!" To see more of Ireland's must-have products, keep scrolling.
Makeup
"Our newest Summer Fridays product—and one I have been using behind the scenes for several months now! This is my holy-grail makeup product because it instantly brightens my face and gives me a sheer flush of color on the go. It's buttery, nourishing, buildable, and long-lasting, which is our dream combination! My current favorite shades are Soft Strawberry for daytime and Toasted Terracotta at night. I love applying with my fingertips in between summer camp drop-offs and the office."
"I have multiple lip butter balms on me at all times! I love our buttery formula for everyday hydration, and our shades are sheer enough for a subtle pop of color. My current obsession is with Pink Guava, but I also love our Clear Mint for something refreshing."
"I always have this with me for fluffy, natural-looking brows! It's another staple for that no-makeup makeup look I love, and one of the quickest pick-me-ups on mornings when I need something fast and effective that makes me feel pulled together. I use the shade light brown."
"I've used this for years, and it's a staple in my makeup bag. Perfect for a super-natural look and just enough to give my brows a little more shape and color."
"I love the ease and versatility of this product—it gives my eyes a subtle, quick wash of color. It comes in varying shades, and I personally love any of the matte-brown and rose shades. Another makeup-bag staple for on the go."
"The holy grail of eyelash curlers! A must for the best lashes and another one of my mom-to-work-life hacks for pulling myself together quickly in the mornings!"
"One of my favorite mascaras for long yet very natural-looking lashes! I prefer a mascara that emphasizes length without any clumping or excess product, and this is one of the best for that."
Skincare
"These patches are the solution to sleepy, puffy under-eyes and probably my most gifted product to my friends and fellow moms. The hydrogel patches are non-slip and can be worn while getting ready or getting life things done. We designed the unique shape to specifically fit your under-eye area. They're like a drink of water for the under eyes!"
"I use these regularly to have a subtle glow all year round! I personally like to mix a few drops with my daily moisturizer for a soft boost of color. Super easy to add into my daily routine."
"I love applying this serum stick to instantly calm puffiness. It feels cooling and refreshing while helping to soothe my skin overall. I also love the jelly-like texture."
"Our mineral milk sunscreen is my daily SPF—no matter the weather! Our product melts into skin really beautifully and pairs well under makeup without feeling greasy."
"Another product that I love as part of my nighttime routine! A simple, everyday habit to help keep skin healthy, clear, and glowing. This one specifically targets redness, pigmentation and fine lines."
Bodycare
"My all-time favorite for a super-soft and smooth shaving experience! My legs honestly feel like heaven when using this product, and it's always one of my top recommendations to friends for something soothing."
"I love this as my daily body wash, and this specific scent is so fresh and nostalgic to me now—it's been in my shower for so many years! It's calming, fresh, and consistent."
"My holy grail for staying healthier while juggling life! I have a few of these in every bag and car. I love their fresh scents like rainwater and vanilla blossom."
"This is an easy at-home solution for infrared and is very relaxing to dip into at the end of a busy day!"
Wellness
"I've taken Seed for years, and it's always one of my top recommendations for improving overall well-being. It's incredible for gut health and regularity, as well as improved immunity, skin, and heart health."
"I take this powder nightly and mix it into hot water about an hour before I want to go to sleep. It's one of my favorite ways to wind down at the end of the day, and it's a key part of my nighttime routine. It's calming without making my body feel off, and I also love to travel with small packets for long flights."
"I've been a Nutrafol user for years, and it's particularly helped me postpartum after each of my kids. I had experienced a lot of hair thinning after each pregnancy, and I saw noticeable differences and less shedding once I remained consistent with taking the four pills daily—it's easiest to do it alongside a meal!"
"This little life hack helps me get a better night of sleep and is so gentle on my skin. I love the way the silk feels on my eyes overnight, and never causes irritation or breakouts. Also, a little pop of pink silk just makes me happy!"
Haircare
"I love this product for a slicked-back hairstyle. It's so easy to use, and the chic packaging *sparks joy* when I toss it in my bag for easy use on the go!"
"My secret weapon to tame my fly-aways—I use this around my face to tame flyaways and give my hair a sleek look."
"My go-to hack for that freshly blown-out look without fully blowing out my hair is to use this on the ends."
"Not only does this product smell incredible, but this leaves my hair silky smooth and helps tame frizz!"
"This spray smells like summer! I use it religiously. Almost nightly, I spray this into damp hair and then braid to let my hair air dry—the perfect no-heat waves!"
