Summer Skincare

I saw a meme on Facebook with a photo of an NSYNC album and the caption read: If you owned this CD, it is time to buy anti-aging products. Well, the NSYNC No Strings Attached CD was one of my all time favorites and I apparently need to go to Sephora! This past Memorial Day Weekend, I decided to swap my tanning oil for a visor and SPF 50. To help you protect your skin from the sun and heat, I am sharing some my favorite summer skincare products! xoxo

Supergoop! Everyday Sunscreen – Despite what the bottle claims, I feel like traditional sunscreen always clogged my pores. I gave Supergoop! a try and fell in love with their extensive line of sun protection. This Everyday Sunscreen protects against UVA, UVB and IRA rays without leaving my skin greasy or selling like sunscreen (it smells so good). It is also very moisturizing and full of hyaluronic acid to keep skin from dehydrating in the sun.

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Face Mask – Summer Fridays products are now a part of my skincare routine year round! This mask was also a part of my Winter Skincare post and has worked just as well in the summer heat. This ultra-hydrating mask is unique because you can either wipe it off with a warm washcloth or leave the product on all day. I use the Jet Lag Mask like a moisturizer during winter months and for recovery after a day in the summer sun.

Summer Fridays Overtime Mask – Another Summer Fridays year round staple is the Overtime Mask. Made of pumpkin, apricot seed and oat kernels, this mask/scrub easily removes dry and dull skin. If you did leave the pool with a sunburn (the horror!) this mask would be great to remove peeling dead skin. I use this mask once or twice a week and always follow with the Jet Lag Mask to moisturize.

Tan-Luxe The Face – Just because I want to avoid fine lines, doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice my summer tan! I add a few drops of Tan-Luxe The Face to my Sunday Riley C.E.O Glow oil for an even glow. Unlike many tanning lotions I have tried in the past, this oil blends perfectly with my moisturizer, face oil or night cream for a streak-free tan. I can also control how much oil is added to prevent an oompa loompa effect. Tan-Luxe  adds raspberry seed oil, aloe vera and vitamin E to the skin for extra moisture and softness.

Sunday Riley C.E.O Glow – I use this face oil every evening with a few drops of Tan-Luxe The Face. Active ingredients like THD Ascorbate (Vitamin C), turmeric and ginger root help fight the signs of aging, even skin tone and hydrate. Sunday Riley also makes a serum version of C.E.O Glow, but I prefer the face oil because it absorbs into the skin so well.
