I like to keep things simple during the summer. Double Cleanse, moisturize and protect. Any deeper exfoliating can be done during your facial treatments once a month. Layers of sunscreen and sweat can really start to build up throughout the day so making sure your skin is refreshed and hydrated is going to keep you looking your best. 

Cleansing plays a big roll always, but especially during the summer months. Double cleansing is an absolute must to ensure you're removing all the excess of environmental toxins, oil and grime that can really start to build up with the layers of sunscreen applied each day.

• Charcoal Clay Cleanser
• Orange You Jelly Cleanser
• Quiet Wash

The Charcoal Clay Cleanser contains charcoal and kaolin clay, which are known to absorb environmental toxins. Coconut Charcoal Powder, obtained from coconut husks, is a highly porous and refined powder that functions like a sponge, drawing out impurities and excess oil from the skin.  Kaolin clay is effective in absorbing sebum, eliminating impurities, and aiding in the prevention of clogged pores. This is my favorite cleanser for the first cleanse of your regimen as it does a fantastic job removing makeup and layers of sunscreen. 

The Orange You Jelly Cleanser, with its orange blossom water, honey, green tea, and neem leaf extract, is incredibly refreshing. The citrus scent has a way of re-energizing one's senses. This cleanser is a go-to choice as it's compatible with all skin types and promotes a perfectly balanced complexion. This oil-free cleanser is also safe for eyelash extensions! 

The Quiet Wash is the best choice for those more sensitive skin types. Whether your skin has reacted poorly to a new cosmetic product, or you've had a bit too much sun exposure, this cleanser is infused with botanicals designed to soothe and calm inflammation, irritation, itchiness, and redness. I love this cleanser to hydrate and support barrier functionality. 

Moisturizing to keep your skin hydrated, radiant and soft. It wasn't hard picking my favorites for the summer. I immediately gravitate towards these products.

• Blueberry Milk Moisturizer
• Avocado Lip Oil
• Vital Lipid Lotion 

Blueberry Milk is just as it sounds, packed with antioxidants that ease the appearance of fine lines and fatigue, and smells as fresh as it sounds. The aloe, hyaluronic acid and vitamin c repair the skin while peptides it holds lighten and brighten the skin. I guess you could say that this moisturizer does it all. Blueberry Milk Moisturizer goes on like silk and smells amazing. It's perfect for daily use on most skin types. I'm in the habit of trying new things, but I always come back to this one. It's perfect! 

The number one selling product in my spa room is the Avocado Lip Oil. It's rich with hydration that leaves lips plump and luscious, the results are sweeter than a dessert wine. I love that I can apply it just once a day and reap all the benefits. A little goes a long way. As if it couldn't get any better, right now for a limited time this lip oil comes in a pinky nude tint they've called Remy! Only while supplies last, so don't wait to grab this one next time you're at the spa. 

Nobody is perfect, and sometimes sensitized skin becomes our norm. For this reason, the Vital Lipid Lotion was created. This product comes from a line that specializes in compromised skin. Whether it's a negative reaction to a new product, a little too much sunshine or medical treatments leaving your skin sensitized and irritated this liquid gold is here to strengthen skins barrier function and reduce redness, inflammation and discomfort.  An organic product that mimics the essential components found in the lipid matrix of youthful, healthy skin makes it the perfect choice when you need to show yourself a little more kindness.

Protect with SPF every day, multiple times a day. Nothing can age you faster than the sun, environmental toxins and pollution-induced free radicals. It's an easy way to be proactive with your skin health, and I have just the thing!

• Tinted Dew Drops SPF 50
• Broad Spectrum SPF 30
• Tropical Matte SPF 30

The Tinted Dew Drops might just take the cake on summer products, as it can work as a 3 in 1 in your morning routine. With four shades available this sunscreen provides clean buildable coverage that allows you to appear even and dewy just like a fresh spring flower each morning. Vitamin E, and squalene hydrate the skin enough to work as your moisturizer during the day, and the SPF 50 is sweat proof with 40-minute water resistant capabilities. This product makes me feel like a goddess. I love the fresh dewy look and protecting my skin. For best results apply this SPF with a foundation brush. 

For those who react negatively to sunscreen, there is no longer an excuse to skip this step because the Hale & Hush Broad Spectrum SPF 30 was created with you in mind. Packaged in an airless bottle with a ph level of 6.9 this sunscreen is a must try if you haven't yet had luck finding one that didn't sensitize your skin. A main ingredient that impresses me is the red algae, which is unique organism that lives in shallow waters where it is exposed to extreme UV radiation and produces the most powerful UV-absorbing substances in nature. The extract itself absorbs both UVA & UVB light. That plus 13.5% Zinc Oxide is sure to keep you protected whilst remaining chemical free to reduce any chance of irritation. 

Not into the dewy glow? No problem, that's why the Tropical Matte SPF 30 is here. It's an oil-free, non-greasy protection that doubles as an excellent makeup base. Zinc Oxide, Date Fruit Extract, Cogon Crass, Licorice Root, Renovage and Elix-IR are the key ingredients to keep you smooth, hydrated and matte.  

For best results apply sunscreen liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every 2 hours.

 Now, go get your summer on!
