Here are some of my favorite new launches that will help you beat the heat and sizzle all summer long!
FOR YOUR FACE
Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream with SPF 30
$25.99
Drugstores
Every woman should be using SPF on her face this summer, but most of us are too lazy or forgetful to apply SPF and moisturizer. This product combines both! The cream lifts, plumps, and firms up skin and also helps to fight existing wrinkles. Best of all, it has SPF 30.
Bioré Baking Soda Scrub
$9.99
Drugstores
Summer skin is plagued with oil, grime, dirt, and more. This revolutionary powder foams up on contact and has tiny bubbles that go deep into pores to break up oil and impurities. When you rinse the foam away, oil and dead cells are removed. Your skin will feel 2.5 times cleaner than it would after using a basic cleanser.
FOR YOUR BODY
Decleor Aroma Svelt Body Refining Oil Serum
$72
DecleorUsa.com
During the summer, most of us show more skin than usual. The key to looking and feeling confident is to have smooth skin. This is a 100% natural serum that smoothens the appearance of cellulite by draining toxins from the skin.
Lavanila Healthy Sport Luxe Deodorant
$14
Lavanila.com
Sweat is synonymous with summertime, but staying fresh and dry in a healthy manner is key. Lavanila’s Healthy Deodorant is a safe and effective alternative to traditional deodorant. Completely free of aluminum, parabens, and propylene glycol, it’s packed with anti-oxidants and a proprietary technology to fight odor, nourish, strengthen, and soothe the skin.
FOR YOUR HAIR
Ouidad No-Lather Coconut Cream Cleansing Conditioner
$36
Ouidad.com
Curls are making a big comeback this summer and rocking natural curls is easier than ever thanks to great hair products. This cleansing conditioner is an alternative to regular shampoo and conditioner. It has no lather but is creamy and moisturizing. It works really well on African American hair, too.
Color Wow Cocktails
$24
UltaBeauty.com
If you color your hair, you know how damaged, dry, and brittle your tresses can get over time. In fact, the color processing system strips away the natural “lubricating film” that keeps your hair moist. These Color Wow Cocktails are leave-in, bond-building supplements for your hair. They bond to hair’s surface and add a blend of fatty acids and emollients to the hair. This product helps to strengthen and thicken your hair and make it look and feel more supple. You should use it every time after you shampoo and condition your hair.
FOR YOUR FACE & NAILS
e.l.f. Aqua Beauty Molten Liquid Eyeshadow & Radiant Gel Lip Stain
$4 each
ElfCosmetics.com
This summer, metallic eyes are on trend. This liquid eyeshadow goes on easily and gives eyes a shot of hydrating color. The formula is cool on contact and contains vitamin E and purified water. This lip gloss formula is a refreshing and weightless gel that provides a pop of sheer color. It is made with nourishing rosewater and vitamin E.
UNO by Gelish Mini Soak-Off Gel Polish
$11.49
SallyBeauty.com
Summertime means it’s sandals season, so those toes need to be well-groomed! Everyone loves a great gel pedi, but no one likes the effort it takes and the money it costs to go to a salon. UNO by Gelish Mini lets you give yourself a gel mani and pedi at home. The one-step gel mani system (that means no cleanser, top coat, or base coat) takes just 45 seconds to cure when used with a LED system. The result? A chip-free mani or pedi that lasts for 7 to 10 days.
TECH MUST-HAVE
Iluminage Precise Touch Permanent Hair Reduction System
$245
IluminageBeauty.com
To rock summer shorts and swimsuits, it’s important to have hair-free legs. This is the first and only at-home permanent hair removal device that is FDA cleared for all skin tones. The small device is designed to treat smaller body parts such as the underarm area, bikini line, and face (upper lip, side burns and chin). It uses the same breakthrough elōs technology used in doctors’ offices. That means you get permanent hair reduction results without leaving your home.
