UV rays! Saltwater! Chlorine! Summer is always hard on my hair and skin, but this year, it's next-level. I spent lots of time traveling in dry climates. I laid out on the beach under the hot sun. I maintained an inconsistent sleep schedule peppered with cocktail hours and late-night dinners. Sure, I had fun, but I incurred some serious skin and hair damage.

Allow me to give you all the unsavory details. Firstly, my hair is dry and brittle, and I have more split ends than I can count. It's not cute. Secondly, despite diligent sunscreen application, my skin is dull and discolored. It's always been prone to hyperpigmentation, so I'm not surprised TBH. Generally speaking, I need a glow-up—not just in an aesthetic sense but also in a "skin and hair health" sense.

Luckily, Dermstore's Anniversary Sale is on through August 18. Select products are up to 25% off with the code CHEERS. During it, I'm snagging damage-reversing skin and hair products at a discount. Think brightening vitamin C serums, moisturizing hair masks, dark spot fading exfoliants, and more. Ahead, see every single item I'm buying to reverse late-summer skin and hair damage.
