Is it safe to say that the rain and stormy weather is behind us? We surely hope so! In the spirit of wishful thinking, we’re jumping into the summer frame of mind this week by featuring some of our favorite products and tips that will keep your skin healthy this season.
If you can’t tan it, fake it!
If you insist on having that summer glow, but don’t have the time to lay out in the sun, fake it! There is nothing we love more than a good spray tan. As you know, we pretty much live for them, but you have to be careful with who you trust to spray you. Our preferred airbrush tanning specialist is Amanda Noel of Goldie Spray Tan. She will come to your home with a privacy tent and all of her best products. If you don’t want her in-home services, you can make an appointment at her studio. We have trusted Amanda and her airbrush tanning solution for over 6+ years now and would never look back. If you’re looking to fake your tan this summer, this is the company you will want to contact.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating is something you should be doing throughout the year, not just during the summer months. Exfoliating is particularly important during the summer to rid your body of dead skin, so it’s fresh and ready to soak in the sun and create an even tan. Our favorite exfoliant is the GLAMGLOWYOUTHMUD™ Tinglexfoliate Treatment, which can be purchased at your nearest Sephora! After exfoliating make sure to cover your body from head-to-toe with sunscreen.
Sunscreen for You
With so many sunscreens on the market, it’s hard to find the sunscreen that works best for you and your skin. First and foremost, we always recommend you speak with a Dermatologist if you’re planning on spending a lot of time in the sun, since they know your skin best! In past posts, we have spotlighted our personal favorite sunscreen by Neutrogena. You can always trust Neutrogena because they are a skincare company first and foremost, so they know how to keep your skin healthy, vibrant and protected with lightweight creams and serums. Their Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is perfect for the face because it provides over the top sun protection without the threat of breakouts.
For sun protection on the rest of your body, we recommend Neutrogena’s Wet Skin Sunscreen Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 30. Since summer vacations are usually spent around the pool or on the beach, this is the sunscreen that’s meant to be applied to wet skin for direct sun protection.
Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+
Not only does the Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+ from IT Cosmetics give you full coverage AND match your skin tone, it serves as the ultimate sun protection product as an SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad-spectrum physical sunscreen.
