Summer Essentials

With summer here and in full swing, here are some essentials to help you get the most out of this perfect weather!

Prtty Peashun Skin Tight Body Lotion*: This product seems to be on everyone wishlist this year and for good reason! This is pretty much a miracle worker to get flawless skin. Created by celebrity makeup artist Bethany Karlyn, this lotion contains subtle light reflecting particles that concealer minor imperfections such as varicose veins, scars, or even small bits of cellulite. Although this is not a self-tanner you can get this lotion in plain, light, medium, dark and deep dark to enhance your natural color. I received this in medium, which is pretty close to my skin tone. I do like a little bit of color so next time i'll opt for the dark! I think that this is a must have for special events such as weddings, birthdays, or even vacations - really any place where you want to look your best!

Laurel Sun Damage Facial Serum*: Another must have for summer as we all spend those long days in the sun. This Laurel serum will help regenerate your skin and help with cellular turnover. Made with key ingredients such as, Scarlet Pimpernel, Licorice, Sea Buckthorn, Gotu Kola, Rosehip, Chamomile and Marshmallow to help with skin discoloration, collagen loss, and as well as sun damaged skin. I put this on after I've spent time out in the sun to keep my skin looking youthful and vibrant! It is among the highest quality of oils and is easily absorbed into my skin. This serum also contains plants that have been linked to sun protection, such as Red Raspberry Seed, Carrot Seed, Sandalwood and Cistus. I seriously cannot live without this product!

Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate: I felt like I won the lottery when I found this on sale at my local Marshalls. This versatile product can be mixed in with foundation to give a sun kissed glow, used as a contour, mixed in with lotion to give your skin more color, or you can use this straight as is to make your skin looked tanned. I love using this on my legs when I am wanting a bit more color! This is definitely a staple for summer!

Little Rose Fields Organic Rosewater: I am a huge lover of rosewater so when I heart Kate from The Life Cake mention this product on instagram, I knew that I couldn't resit checking it out. Made from the famous Bulgarian Rose Valley from its unique soil and climate this rosewater is sure to have plenty of benefits for the skin. This can be used as a natural facial toner, as a skin refresher during those hot summer days, and can even be used to sooth insect bites.
