From Aveda’s hair serum to Byredo’s lip balm, these summer releases lean into the benefits of ingredients made from fruit to make your beauty routine sweeter
With summer comes fruit season—think mangos, papayas, lemons and grapefruits that ripen to sweet perfection in the warm weather. Of course, they are yummy to consume, and are a refreshing and nutritional treat during these sweltering months, but did you know many fruits also have amazing benefits for our skin and hair? Not to mention just their scent alone is sometimes enough to give us that momentary escape necessary for our mental wellbeing.
So from nourishing hair masks that keep your locks from frazzling in the humidity to sweet lip balms that will remind you of tropical holidays, or even just that perfect summer fragrance, these are our picks for beauty products that put a fun twist to your five-a-day fruit consumption.

Not only does it smell delicious, its semi-matte finish looks great on both your bare-faced or minimal make-up days, and the shea butter, jojoba seed oil and carnauba wax in its ingredients will keep your lips soft and hydrated.
