Getting Summer Ready // Beauty Products

Since I have been talking a lot about getting ready for summer I thought I would include a list of beauty products that will help with that as well. Part of getting ourselves beach ready is prepping our skin and there are lots of products I have been trying that work well. Here is a breakdown of a few I’ve been trying

1. Ritual Fortune Scrub: During the cooler months my skin gets really dry so before I attempt to get color I exfoliate to get a nice smooth surface. I do this prior to the beach as well as prior to self tanning. I really like this scrub. It’s gritty so it works well, but it also smells really good, like something right out of the spa which has a nice relaxing effect.

2.  Nerium Firm Body Conturing Cream: Everyone knows there is no cure for cellulite, but you can reduce it’s appearance with creams. This one works well. I have been trying a few different ones and my legs are looking better so there is hope yet!

3. Probelle Nail Strengthener: I am really hard on my nails which is why I get them coated in acrylic with a gel topcoat. But one day I cracked and broke the acrylic off the top and my nail and I was worried my nail underneath would be weak and break before I could get it fixed. I applied this stuff and it really worked. It kept my nail strong for the 3 days it was exposed. I couldn’t believe it. Great product.

4. Teadora Body Oil: This stuff is awesome. It’s an oil, but it soaks into your skin like lotion and is so much more hydrating. The scent transports you to somewhere exotic. I like Rainforest at Dusk.

5. Environ Sunscreen SPF 25: I talked about the Environ serum in my spring beauty must haves and I was so impressed with it, I of course was curious about their other products. I am really excited about this sunscreen because the quality of their products is top notch. I will be using this before going into the sun and it will be part of my SPF arsenal.

6. Ashieda Face Mask:  I used this facemask once and my skin looked amazing after. I think it’s a great product to use to tighten and even skin tone and get an over all summer ready glow. It’s also available on amazon.

7. Veet Wax Strips: These are so great for touching up your bikini line! Handy and very travel friendly. A must for summer!

8. Fake Bake Beyond Bronze Tanning Mousse: I am a self tan addict. I’ve said that before. I have my favorites but I love trying new ones. This was my first experience with Fake Bake but I will say I liked it. I’ve come to the conclusion I like mousses better than lotions because they are easier to work with and faster to apply.

9. Sienna Naturals Baobab Oil Shampoo and Conditioner: The older I get the more concerned with harsh ingredients in my beauty products. I like this line because it is eco conscious and toxin free. There is also a body butter not pictured here, that I really like as well.

10. Crabtree and Evelyn Pear and Pink Magnolia Body Souffle: This body lotion is so luxurious! It smells really pretty and is thick enough to penetrate all of the rough patches.

11. Schick Quattro Disposable Razors: These razors are my favorite. I’ve been using them for a long time and what I like about them, aside from the 4 blades really doing their job, is that the razors last a long time. Even though they are disposable I can get a month out of them almost every time.

Let me know if you try any of these items or you have tried them and have thoughts!
