SUMMER BODY MUST-HAVES
Summer is officially here in NYC, and that means really dry, full sunshine, humidity off the chain and just fun! I love my state especially summer but it also does a doozy on my body. My lips get extra chapped, body gets very dehydrated and skin lets me honest gets a bit more chocolatier.
To protect my skin and body from the elements these are my go to products. I mean with the combination of lots and lots of water, this collection has been my savior.
After washing and cleansing your face you need some form of toner. Toners are good for ph balances, help with glow and hydrates the skin back too looking pulp and luscious. I choose too use rose water. Rose water to me just makes my skin just feel refreshed and rawwwwing to go!! And its natural, you cant go wrong.
A good eye cream is a must have. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles. Also if you wear concealer, eye creams help the concealer too go on nice and smooth. A light weight eye cream is my recommendation because who wants something too feel caky under your eye, eww!
Well this is a duhh moment right! Vitamin C where can you go wrong. Every on needs vitamin C in there life. Vitamin C helps the reduction of brown spot, helps your sunscreen work much more, energizes and hydrates your skin and also boost your glow.
Sunscreen lotion for anyone especially us chocolate sisters helps with protected us from skin cancer, the burnt look and just protection. Finding a spf with more than 25 spf is better and what is the best is finding a moisturizer that has sunscreen powers in it already.
During the summer times using a heavy cream on your body at least for me makes me sweat more. But, you need some sort of moisturizer cause no one wants too be ashy honey. Im still researching this but right now this is what I use and I seal it with a light layer of oil.
Last but not least a gooooood lip balm would be great. I've been threw a few chapsticks. Either its too waxy, leaves that white line on your lips. You have too put a lot too feel anything. Just not good ones at all. But, I found a great one from EOS it so lightweight smells great, leaves my lips feeling moist and hydrated.
The items have been my holy grail and have help me have a refreshed, glowing and hydrating goddess glow. I hope I helped you with what everyone should have in the summer get ready routine!
