Summer Essentials

Let’s face it: No one enjoys getting ready in the summer. Even if you’re cool as a cucumber in the AC while getting ready, you know there will be times throughout the day where the heat and humidity will wreak havoc on all your work. In temps like these, you may be tempted to skip using products altogether but don’t give up hope just yet! We’ve put together out list of 5 favorite products to help you beat the heat this summer!

Hydrate and protect your skin’s natural moisture balance with this lightweight, zinc broad spectrum SPF 30 moisturizer made with antioxidant rich organic grape and pomegranate, soothing aloe vera, vitamins, and nutrient rich sea algae. Helps prevent premature signs of aging caused by everyday sun exposure. Clears while hydrates.

Does your hair have a mind of its own lately? Work with it, don’t fight it! Create beautiful and touchable soft waves or bring lived-in curls back to life. Rich in minerals and amethyst crystal, this unique, hydrating Pink Himalayan salt spray adds texture and volume to the hair while aloe vera provides moisture to prevent parched ends.

This after-sun mist is a must! This multi-tasking mist combines the multi-action power of Oxygen, HOCL and Sea Salt to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin. Formulated for all skin types, Trifecta Power Mist soothes and supports skin’s natural defenses against irritation, inflammation, and post-procedure sensitivities. Trifecta Power Mist helps with common skin issues experienced by acne prone skin and those doing heavy sport activities. It can be used as a hydrating toner, post-workout cleansing mist, after-sun mist, and first-aid spray. 

Speaking of the sun, this sunscreen is the absolute best. I can’t say it enough. Made from certified all-natural ingredients, it provides UVA-UVB true broad spectrum protection. As a performance driven sunscreen, it is very water resistant beyond 80 minutes, yet so gentle and moisturizing it is perfect for kids. Packed with biologically active antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and extracts, it continues protecting your skin long after environmental exposure. We have a tinted version, too!

If you’re avoiding the sun altogether but looking for a healthy glow, this self tanner is the BEST I’ve ever used. This lotion goes on evenly, lasts about a week and even fades evenly, which is actually very important! No one likes the in-between phase of self tanner.

There’s just something about the hustle and bustle of Summer that makes more stains almost enviable. Red wine on literally anything? Chocolate ice cream on your white pants? Grass stains? This stain solution will help with all of that!

I am so impressed with how this foundation stays in place in the humidity! This formula has medium coverage, that’s buildable, so you can add on a little bit more on hard to hide spots, but it’ll never get cakey and never budge! Want a little lighter consistency? Just add a drop of your favorite oil!
