Summer sun care
General care
Morning, always. But also, any time you just need your face to feel blissfully cool. I don't get how it always stays cold, but it does and it's magical.

Every night before bed. Every. Night.
I committed to this after seeing a woman at work whose skin looked flawless. I almost fell out of my chair when she said her granddaughter was going to college. I asked her her secret, she told me this.

At least once a month, I opt for an evening mask. Combine this with a foot peel sock and a glass of wine & you basically have a fantastic night in.
Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Sheet Mask - Lancome
I love OSEA products - this cleanser is gentle on my skin and I'll just keep it in my shower so I can wash my face without too much trouble.
Ocean Cleanser | Clean Face Wash | Seaweed Skincare
I rarely wear makeup, but this stuff is a dream when it comes to removing mascara and eyeliner gently.
Lait Galatee Confort Makeup Remover Milk
I love this lip care option - especially when in a dry climate or traveling to cold areas
Lip Care
this stuff takes some getting used to but trust me... apply a little of this before bed at night and you'll see a difference in just a few days. This is GREAT prevention if you get dry or cracked lips.
Fruit Butter - Lip Mask
Pro tip: travel size goes a long way! I swipe some on at night after I've washed my face. Once you're happy with your lash length, you can switch to every couple of days.
GrandeLASH - MD: Lash-Enhancing Serum
Once this is on, I don't have to think about it. Big fan.
UV Expert Defense SPF 50+ Primer & Moisturizer
I usually make sure I use hand lotion before I go to sleep to keep my hands in good shape.
Mineral Hand Cream
Super soft feet care
For keeping your feet soft
I'm a big fan of Ahava products
Mineral Foot Cream - Feet
Your feet will feel silky soft after using these socks.
Revitalizing Foot Peel Mask - Reboot
Summer sun care
Some of my favorite items for when I'm going to be out in the sun
By default, I use SPF 30 any time I'm going to spend time out in the sun. I like the lotion because it's a better financial deal than the spray.
Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Sun Bum
Do I love coconut? No. Do I use this anyway? Yes. SPF for your lips ladies.
Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Lip Balm - Coconut
I am a huge fan using this balm before I get ready in the morning.
Blemish Balm I Vegan & Blemish Moisturizer for Oily Skin
Nivea offers a nice and affordable after sun lotion. It cools, but doesn't leave you feeling sticky.
Nivea
Not only does this smell amazing, it is awesome for moisturizing your skin without feeling sticky and oily. Also, Ahava because of course.
Dry Oil Body Mist - Sea-Kissed
Adding this here to remind you to apply sunscreen to your scalp! I have my favorites (coola) but everyone's hair texture / needs are different. This list is a good start
