Beauty Faves: July

This month’s Beauty Faves are all about skin care and health. What good is all the makeup in the world if you don’t have a healthy canvas to apply it on? I’ve noticed that with improved skin health, I don’t feel the need to wear as much makeup. Not to mention, I’ve been getting some sun lately. Spending a lot of time outdoors and in the pool can wreak havoc on the skin. Nobody wants to be dry and peeling. Healthy, smooth and moisturized  is the look we’re going for this summer, and here are the products that have me feeling and looking my best:

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Scrub $10 (currently on sale)

This scrub smells incredible and makes my skin so soft and smooth. It gently exfoliates without making my skin feel raw. Pink grapefruit seed oil provides essential fatty acids to repair skin’s moisture barrier, so it feels smooth and supple. Community Trade organic honey moisturizes and conditions skin.

Olay In-Shower Body Lotion $6

This is one of the best things to happen to my skin in the recent years. Not having to slather my skin in lotion after my shower saves me time. My skin stays smooth all day and I get compliments on the scent as well. Read my full review HERE

Kiss My Face Sun Spray Oil SPF 30 $12.95

I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors. It’s hot in AZ and the only thing you really can do outside is be in the pool. This calls for sunscreen. If you keep up with the news, you probably know to start looking for sunscreens that do not contain the chemical oxybenzone. Kiss My Face Sun Spray Oil has SPF 30, UVA/UVB protection, is fragrance free and oxybenzone free. It’s oil based so it makes my skin look glowy in the sun, yet it’s somehow still water resistant. Bottom line: it keeps me from burning, which prevents me from peeling. Good stuff.

Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System $149

The Clarisonic Mia is the best investment I’ve made into my skin. It deep cleans to remove makeup completely. It also exfoliates the skin at whatever level is right for you. I use the delicate and sensitive brush heads. Normal and Deep Pore Cleansing brush heads are also available for the Clarisonic Mia. If you don’t have one, Get one.

Evian Facial Mist travel-sized trio $15

Summer must-have for years now, this Evian facial mist keeps me cool in the harsh, dry heat. I will forever buy this stuff. I keep one in my medicine cabinet for a setting spray after powder, and I keep one in my purse so I always have it handy.

Biotherm Aquasource Levres Lip Balm SPF 8 $20

I think they may be discontinuing this, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway since it’s still available online. This lip balm moisturizes my lips and gives them a really pretty sheen. It smells divine and the SPF is a nice plus. Even lips need protection from the sun’s rays. Ever had sunburned lips? Waaah

Sonicare Flexcare+ Electric Toothbrush $169.99

I use this with the Pro Results brush head and it is a major upgrade from the Sonicare Elite electric toothbrush. It effectively cleans deep between teeth and along the gum line, and is said to be an alternative for regular brushing and flossing. There are a few different settings, including one for those with sensitive teeth, and even one for just massaging the gums. As if that wasn’t cool enough, the charger also has a UV brush head sanitizer attached to keep your brush head free of bacteria.
