beauty, tips
Well it’s that time...summer’s here!! My favorite time for vacations, weekend brunching and saying yes to those last minute adventures! I definitely don’t want to have to worry about spending a lot of time getting ready or any chance of missing out on some fun! I want to share with you some of my favorite products that I’m using to create my complete, go-to summer look. As you all know, protecting my skin is a top priority! And I highly believe in using nontoxic products that are free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals and endocrine disruptors. It’s scary to know that many chemicals can be more harmful in combination with other chemicals. These low doses of harsh, synthetic ingredients are found in many beauty products, which are causing serious health problems. There’s no reason to harm your body when there are so many amazing and safe products out there. So of course I want to lead you in the right direction when it comes to the safest items to use for your ideal summer look. The best part is, you can find all of these items on Aillea.com, my favorite one-stop shop for all beauty products that are healthy, green and clean!
RMS | Beauty Signature Set - Pop Collection
Sign me up for this all-in-one summer makeup kit. I love that I can use this creamy, bold palette to mix colors and create so many different looks. The bright colors of the Pop Collection are perfect for my cheeks while using the luminizers to highlight cheekbones and eyes or switch it up and use it on my cheeks and lips for a radiant summer glow.
Maya Chia | The Highlight of the Day
Want to feel like a goddess while protecting and hydrating your skin? I sure do!! This illuminating serum gives you a natural glow while the chia seed oil increases your skin’s elasticity. While keeping it light and elegant, use it everywhere, it’s the perfect summer multi-use product!
The best part about all of these amazing products is they can be used alone or all together! So why not get the best of both worlds? You too can create your complete summer look that also delivers amazing skincare benefits!
Elizabeth Dehn | Vitamin D Moisture Mist
Sometimes you need just need a quick refresh midday and what better way than with this multitasking formula. Your skin deserves it’s daily hydration! Spritz this on before and after applying your makeup and feel the benefits of the vitamin E, D and alpine rose to rehydrate and protect against environmental stressors and dryness.
Suntegrity | Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen & Primer
Year-round I make sure to protect my skin and this sunscreen + primer combo does exactly that! I LOVE that the pomegranate and sunflower oil help to give me smoother, softer skin. Since I normally don’t wear much makeup, it’s perfect for evening out my skintone without foundation. For those with sensitive skin, I highly recommend it because it’s not greasy or pore clogging and the zinc-oxide actually has anti-inflammatory properties that calm skin irritations. There's a reason this baby is always in my bag!
Rahua | Enchanted Island Sea Salt Spray
If you can’t make it to the beach this summer, why not bring the beach to you?! The organic pink sea-salt, guayaba sugars, and passion fruit will transform your hair to give you that straight from vacation look. Use it with damp or dry hair to add shine and texture. I love to use this spray to give me that extra lift when I need it! Added bonus: your hair will smell like peach paradise!
