Summertime Skin Faves

There are 5 products I am going to share with you today that are my go-to, summertime skin faves.  I’ve recently discovered three of these skincare products, and one is an old faithful.  If you know me, you know that I *hate* wearing foundation and want to just take care of my skin so that it looks good so I don’t have to wear any!  Especially in the summer when it’s hot, the last thing I want is for it to feel like makeup is caked on my face, clogging my pores.

These cover all the bases: prevents fine lines & wrinkles, improves discoloration, evens skin tones, naturally brightens, UVA + UVB protection, brightens the undereye & cools it to reduce puffiness, hyaluronic refreshing face mist, & of course my favorite product for that kissable pout.

Summertime Skin Faves

  1. Vitamin C Serum:  This is my favorite product possibly ever, and it’s worth it’s weight in gold!  This changed my complexion so instantly the first time I used it I literally just stared in the mirror and said “WHOA.”  “This ultra-potent 10% blend of two forms of vitamin C instantly brightens skin and helps reduce the appearance of existing dark spots, while antioxidant-rich turmeric and camu camu extracts help protect against new ones. The formula also helps defend skin from the damaging effects of environmental stressors—revealing a more youthful-looking complexion.”
  2. Protect + Glow daily sunscreen gel broad spectrum spf 30: not to beat a dead horse, but if you’re not using a daily SPF then…yeah it’s time!! I am guilty of not doing it as much because I never liked any…until this one.  “Leaves a gorgeous glow that wears well under makeup or on its own. Non-comedogenic formula won’t clog pores or leave a white cast. Powered by skincare-first ingredients like probiotic extracts, pineapple & papaya. Non-greasy, smells good & is reef-safe.”
  3. Rose Glow & Get It cooling & brightening eye balm: this feels *ah-mazing* when you put it on but leaves the best subtle highlight to really brighten that under eye!! “This hyaluronic acid eye balm, now with even more glow-enhancing ingredients. Instantly hydrates, cools & helps reduce the look of fine lines & wrinkles around the eyes. Delivers an instant pick-me-up so you look refreshed, feel energized & can glow & get it!”  Pro tip: use a little on the ridge of your nose and the end of your nose, and your cupid’s bow above your lip for a little extra glowy pop!
  4. Signature Glow refreshing & brightening face mist: This is something I never knew I needed til I had it…a “highlighter in a bottle”.  It’s great as a setting spray, but also gives you a really nice glow.  Also it smells SO GOOD.  “Instantly brighten the appearance of dull skin, hydrate & protect from the damaging effects of blue light & pollutants with this hyaluronic-acid powered face mist. Skincare-first ingredients like probiotic extracts, strawberry & kiwi fruit water help balance skin & deliver the ultimate pearlescent glow. Fine & light-diffusing, this face mist has a subtle, refreshing scent that gives an instant mood boost.”
  5. Lip Whip in shade “Rosie Gold”:  If you find better lip stuff out there you better share it because I’m not sure it exists.  This stuff is the perfect balance of hydrating, softening, but not sticky.  I wear it every day and I absolutely HAVE to put it on at night before I go to sleep.  Gives the perfect pout.  Realized I am getting dangerously low to the bottom of this one (it lasts longer than you’d think because a little goes a long way) so I just ordered another because I refuse to go even one night without it.
