As we bid farewell to the cold weather and welcome warmer days, it’s time to adjust your beauty routine for the new season. Swap out heavy products for lightweight lotions, enhance sun protection, and provide extra nourishment for your hair. Let’s welcome the first day of summer!
After being bundled up in woolly layers during winter, your skin is ready to shine, and exfoliation is essential! Even if you exfoliate regularly, it’s time to step up your game. Today, I’m excited to share two body exfoliators that I’ve been enjoying recently. Both will leave your skin feeling soft and radiant. Remember to moisturize and use body products that help tone and firm the skin. My all-time favorite is the revamped Clarins iconic product.
Callyssee Buffing Beans Coffee Scrub ($22)
A coffee scrub can do wonders for your skin, just like a cup of coffee perks up your morning. The Callyssee Cacao Coffee Scrub, infused with Coffee Robusta, Sugar, Cacao Powder, and Avocado Oil, provides long-lasting results, including improved circulation, skin cell turnover, and reduction of cellulite-related concerns.
Orlane Aqua Svelte Slimming Scrub With Algae And Sea Salt ($65)
Aquasvelte not only targets cellulite but also works as an effective exfoliant to remove dead cells and imperfections from the skin’s surface. The unique blend of Microspheres, Caffeine, essential oils, and Algae offers triple benefits of exfoliation, purification, and slimming for visible results.
Clarins Body Fit Anti-Cellulite Contouring Professional ($70)
This innovative body treatment, powered by Quince Leaf extract, helps reduce the appearance of cellulite through targeted refining and toning actions. Clarins Laboratories have harnessed the unique properties of Quince Leaf extract to visibly smooth, firm, and lift the skin’s appearance.
Prepare your hair for summer! Well-nourished hair can better withstand the heat, sun, and saltwater experiences that come with summer activities. Before swimming, apply hair oil to create a barrier against chlorine. Rinse thoroughly after swimming to remove any residue, and always wear a hat to protect your hair color from fading.
Huile de Greyl ($59)
This pre-shampoo oil treatment is ideal for dry hair, offering detangling, nourishing, and protective benefits. Formulated with copra oil and mongongo oil, it provides hydration, repair, and protection against environmental factors, including UV rays, saltwater, and chlorine.
Macadamia Ultra Moisture Mask ($36)
This mask provides instant moisture to curly or coarse hair, repairing damage and strengthening each strand for healthier, shiny hair. Its rich texture, nourishing properties, and delightful scent make it a must-have for hair repair and hydration.
Macadamia Ultra Rich Oil Treatment ($39.95)
This intensive oil treatment penetrates the hair strand to hydrate, repair, and enhance shine. With a silicone-free formula, it offers immediate nourishment, long-term repair, and protection against heat and environmental damage.
ColorProof HumidityRx Anti-Frizz Weatherproof Spray ($29) and RadicallySmooth Anti-Frizz Serum ($28) are ideal for maintaining your hairstyle in hot and humid environments. These products offer frizz control, heat protection, and long-lasting style hold without weighing down your hair.
When it comes to sun protection, opt for lighter, non-oily formulas like tinted sunscreens or physical sunblocks for the summer. These options provide broad-spectrum coverage, protecting your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen is crucial for preventing wrinkles and skin damage. Choose tinted versions for added coverage and skin tone correction, and opt for physical sunblocks for easy removal, gentleness on the skin, and excellent UVA/UVB protection.
Avene Skin Correcting Shield SPF 50+ ($36)
This product combines 100% mineral broad-spectrum sunscreen with complexion-perfecting and hydrating properties for flawless, rosy skin.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Sunscreen ($33.50)
A cutting-edge SPF with dual-protecting formula featuring titanium dioxide for long-wearing broad-spectrum protection. It fights environmental damage and offers a satin finish that suits all skin types.
Wishing you a fantastic summer ahead!
