OCEANSIDE SKIN AND BEAUTY FAVORITES

So many of us will be enjoying the summer

poolside or beach side over the next few months

and

skin care is essential for everyone.

The great thing about a beach trip is "there are no rules!!"
You may feel like a day where you get up, grab a pair of flip-flops

and a baseball hat and go out the door....
we only have ONE rule...no watches allowed.
Time does not matter....

However, there are also some mornings.

I prefer to 'do it up a bit'

and

there is an art to pulling it all together.

These are my favorite skin and beauty products

for enjoying those gulf beach waves.....

I invest in a good broad brimmed sun hat....
one that covers your entire head and face.

The first thing I do is develop a good base color for my skin,

If you have fair skin, you are going to be very susceptible for a sunburn,

The Loreal Sublime Bronze Towelettes is my all time favorite.

If you begin applying this every 3 or 4 days about a  month before your trip,

your skin will be lightly tanned and better prepared for the sun.

Buy a good high SPF sunscreen such as CeraVe.

My all time favorite product for around the eye area is

Garnier SKIN ACTIVE moisture rescue.

This eye gel feels so soothing and cool for the area under the eye.

For my face, I use Garnier Skin Active BB cream.

This just evens out your skin tone and gives a dewy glow to your complexion.

I then add a touch of blush in coral tones.

I apply a hunter green or navy eyeliner

and a moisture proof mascara.

For the lips,
it's best to choose a nude lipstick
with a touch of gloss.

The point is to look fresh, slightly shimmery
and
natural.

That's it....you're good to go.

 I always carry my own fragrant soaps when traveling.

My choice of fragrance beach side is coconut.....

its hydrating and rather intoxicating through ocean breezes......

When you layer fragrance during a shower,

your skin will glow and take on the scents of summer....

blends of white frangipani,

 toasted coconut and bergamot waters 

essenced with a cool, saltwater breeze.

We take one night and dress up for an out-to-dinner
experience....I wear BEACHES by Lilly Pulitzer!

It's calling our name......
