CHANEL Beauty must-haves begin with the art of travelling light. Summer is not just a season. It is a mood, a scent, a soft caress of light on bare skin. It is the time when beauty becomes effortless, when heavy textures fade away and radiance takes centre stage. Whether you’re island-hopping under the sun or enjoying quiet mornings in the city, the right essentials can transform the everyday into something truly extraordinary.
When it comes to what you take with you, only a few essentials truly deserve a place in your beauty pouch. Just a handful of carefully chosen products, refined and sensorial, can transform your skincare routine into a moment of indulgence. This is not about layering endlessly. It is about making decisions with precision and elegance. What enhances. What protects. What brings joy.
This summer, CHANEL offers a new way to experience beauty. With three carefully crafted novelties, the House invites you to elevate your ritual. Cleanse with lightness and care. Refresh your skin with the breath of botanical vitality. Carry a trace of elegance with you wherever you go.
These CHANEL Beauty must-haves are not simply products. They are gestures of beauty. A perfect companion for a summer lived fully and beautifully.
CHANEL Beauty Must-Haves: LA MOUSSE Camellia Cleansing Cream-to-Foam.

The art of cleansing, reimagined for your pleasure.
No beauty ritual is complete without a moment of clarity. In summer, more than ever, the skin faces long days filled with sunscreen, city pollution, sea salt and makeup. Its need to breathe becomes essential. This is when cleansing shifts from a simple step to an act of true self-care. CHANEL offers the most sensorial answer with LA MOUSSE Camellia Cleansing Cream to Foam. It is one of the essential CHANEL Beauty must-haves for the season.
At first contact, the texture is silky and creamy. However, when it comes into contact with water, it transforms into a rich, cloud-like foam that envelops the face in softness. Enriched with camellia ceramides, it lifts away impurities while respecting the skin barrier. There is no need to scrub. With delicate motions, makeup, sunscreen, pollution particles and excess sebum are gently removed.
What remains is skin that feels luminous, clear and deeply comfortable. After just one week, the texture appears smoother. After one month, the feeling of comfort improves by over fifty per cent. These are not just claims. They are results you can truly experience.

For those on the move or staying in the city, this foam becomes more than a cleanser. It’s a moment of calm, a way to reconnect with your skin every day. With its creamy texture and delicate fragrance, it turns a daily task into a pleasure.
To elevate the ritual even further, CHANEL has created Le Geste Ultra Mousse, a unique massage technique that enhances the performance of the foam. LA MOUSSE embodies everything that defines CHANEL Beauty must-haves: effectiveness, elegance and a touch of poetry in your daily routine.
CHANEL Beauty Must-Haves: N°1 de CHANEL Serum-in-Mist

A revitalising shield for radiant skin on the go
Summer days are filled with movement. From airports to terraces, from sun-drenched walks to late nights under the stars, the skin is constantly exposed to the elements. It longs for protection, hydration and a boost of vitality that feels weightless. In response to this rhythm of modern life, CHANEL introduces N°1 de CHANEL Serum-in-Mist. A skincare innovation that brings the power of red camellia to the palm of your hand. Light as air and rich in benefits, it is a modern essential, one of the new CHANEL Beauty must-haves for the season.
This bi-phase mist is a true formulation feat. At the heart of the formula lies red camellia extract, a flower that CHANEL scientists have studied for over 19 years. Known for its extraordinary longevity, the red camellia brings antioxidant protection and helps boost the skin’s natural defence mechanisms. Its power is complemented by camellia leaf buds, which instantly soothe and calm the skin.
With just a few spritzes, the Serum-in-Mist refreshes, protects and enhances radiance. It is designed to be used at any moment throughout the day. After cleansing, before or after makeup, or anytime your skin needs a breath of youth. The texture is imperceptible, yet the result is immediate. Skin feels supple, more awake, and visibly energised.

The red bottle itself is irresistible. Round, bold, and designed for movement, it slips easily into a handbag, a carry-on or even a beach basket. Whether you are dancing at a festival, pausing in the shade of a café, or travelling between time zones, this mist is with you. Always within reach. Always elegant.
N°1 de CHANEL Serum-in-Mist is not just about skincare. It is about rhythm. About beauty that adapts, travels and elevates. A true expression of the CHANEL Beauty must-haves spirit.
CHANEL Beauty Must-Haves: BLEU DE CHANEL All-Over Fragrance Balm

An aromatic gesture of elegance for summer moments
Fragrance is never just a scent. It is present. It is memory. And in the heat of summer, it becomes a signature that lingers with subtlety.

A limited-edition balm designed for spontaneity, this product brings sensuality and comfort to the hands, beard, and hair. Discreet yet unmistakable, it belongs among your CHANEL Beauty must-haves for summer.
The balm’s texture is soft and nourishing, ideal for warm-weather application. It glides effortlessly onto the skin, absorbing with ease while leaving no residue. With just a touch, the aromatic woody notes of BLEU DE CHANEL unfold. Fresh citrus, dry cedar and warm sandalwood blend into a composition that is both invigorating and deep. The result is a scent that feels clean, elegant and quietly magnetic.
What makes this balm truly unique is its versatility. It can be applied at any moment of the day. After a swim, before dinner, or as a discreet refresh before a night out. The compact format fits into a beach bag or a jacket pocket. Whether you are on a yacht, at an art opening, or sharing coffee at a shaded terrace, the balm is always ready for a moment of grace.
Beyond fragrance, it brings comfort. The formula moisturises as it perfumes, leaving skin and hair soft to the touch. It is more than a scent. It is a gesture. A new ritual of refinement for the modern man or for anyone who appreciates the elegance of BLEU DE CHANEL in an unexpected form.
With its understated packaging and sensorial finish, this balm captures the essence of summer. Intimate, elegant and effortlessly chic. An essential piece in the CHANEL Beauty must-haves wardrobe.
To Conclude:
Summer is a season of movement, light and sensation. It invites us to slow down, yet remain vibrant. It encourages beauty that is natural, fluid and expressive. In this delicate balance between elegance and ease, CHANEL presents three exquisite creations that embody the essence of modern beauty.
From the gentle clarity of LA MOUSSE, to the luminous protection of the N°1 de CHANEL Serum-in-Mist, and the discreet seduction of the BLEU DE CHANEL All-Over Fragrance Balm, each product answers a genuine need with style and intention. These are not accessories. They are companions. Trusted, refined, and sensorial.
Wherever summer takes you, whether across oceans, through cities or simply into sunlit days, the CHANEL Beauty must-haves become more than just part of your routine. They become part of the memory. The touch that stays on the skin. The fragrance that lingers in the air. The feeling of beauty lived fully and consciously.
To travel light is not to compromise. It is to choose with care. And with CHANEL, every choice becomes a statement of grace. Let your summer begin with beauty. Let it end with radiance.
