With summer unofficially upon us, it’s time to get your carryall tote prepped for that impromptu beach day or weekend get-away. We’ve rounded up the newest summer must-haves for a day of fun in the sun. Surf’s up!
For a day in the sun, you need to lather up the sunscreen! Choose one that’s good for your skin! Coola is a line of natural, organic sun products with fun, fruity fragrances like Pineapple and Mango. Another great sunbathing line is from Hampton Sun, which features a broad spectrum UVA/UVA range of products that are also paraben free! With coverage up to SPF 50 in both lines, you can’t go wrong! (unless you forget to reapply!)
To keep your lips in pout perfection, throw a Jane Iredale Lip Drink balm into your bag! This product contains no petroleum-derived products that dry out the lips. People who are regular users of petroleum-based lip balms are on a continual drying cycle – the more they use the drier their lips become! In a base of macadamia nut oil plus the active sunscreen ingredient of edible zinc oxide for an SPF 15 and broad-spectrum sun protection. Contains the antioxidants green tea extract, and Vitamins E and C.
If you love the sun, but hate what it does to your hair color, grab a bottle of Rene Furterer waterproof moisturing fluid. This non-oily leave-in blocks 90% of UV rays while providing maximum hydration to locks. Hair is protected against the damaging effects of the sun and has a soft, natural look. Spray all over towel-dried hair prior to swimming or being out in the sun. One application is sufficient and will give hair a natural look.
To make your eyes pop but keep with the natural look, swipe on a few coats of Bare Minerals Waterproof volumizing mascara. This product curls, defines, and lengthens your lashes while staying put until you remove it easily with makeup remover. Cover your beautiful face with a tinted moisturizer like Perricone’s No Foundation Foundation. Loaded with an SPF 30, this self-adjusting product works on everybodys skin tone, and has skin care benfits like Alpha Lipoic Acid for dimish fine lines, and DMAE with helps plump up your skin and make it look more youthful.
If you missed a spot or two with the sunscreen, reach for Dermalogica’s After Sun Repair! Formulated with hyaluronic acid to penetrate and deliver moisture to parched, dry skin. Vitamins A, C, and E soothe skin and help wisk away the heat of the burn, and if used regualrly after exposure, can actually reduce the time your skin is red!
