Summer Beauty Products, Accessories & More To Make You Sizzle

It is so hot in Arizona that I think I may be melting. But, I need a tan. There are a few problems with that statement. One you melt when you lay out in the Arizona sun and two, the risk of skin cancer. When I lived in Los Angeles, I never had an issue but as soon as I returned to Arizona I went for a yearly check up and had a few questionable beauty spots on my skin. So, I have been super cautious and always apply sunscreen.

I was given a few lotions from Safe Harbor to try and they are good! Safe Harbor combines science with nature and is natural, effective and chemical-free suncare.

• SENSITIVE LOTION SPF 30
A perfect blend of high SPF protection with natural anti-oxidants that reduce visible signs of UV aging. This quickly absorbed lotion helps the skin maintain its natural nutrients, and prevents excess loss of hydration.

• FACE AND NECK CREAM SPF 40
The formula is enriched with a natural anti-aging formula essential to protect your face and neck. The chemical-free mineral UV filters offer uncompromising protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, while reducing signs of sun-induced aging including wrinkles and age spots.

Trust me. You don’t want to look like the bottom of a shoe by the time you hit 30 so take heed and always remember to lather up!

So, now that I am lathered up and ready to go what’s next? Well, if you want to look tight in your swimsuit and just can’t make it to the gym or are bored with your same old treadmill I suggest you workout in the pool. What? YES! You should workout in the pool. This isn’t your grandmother’s water aerobics but it sure does get your heart rate up!

Check out the workout featured on Popsugar Fitness!

I have been doing these in the pool and love it! It will get your heart rate up and tone that bod. Turn on some good tunes and rock this workout!

Thanks Popsugar!

What next?

Well, after the pool your skin is sure to be dry as a bone and you need to lubricate. So grab the new Intensive Care Vaseline Spray and lube up.

You don’t want your skin to be dry as a bone so this is a must have. Thanks to Influenster for sending me a sample.

Now, you are tan, toned, and moisturized so you need to make sure your teeth are nice and white, right? But, not too white. What would you say if I told you you can get your teeth pearly white at home without making a trip to the dentist, that is affordable and good for sensitive teeth?

The Luster Premium White System

A few of my “goto” products all year round are:

La Licious extraordinary whipped sugar kiss sugar scrub is the best scrub on the market in my opinion. It smells amazing and isn’t too coarse or too greasy. It is just right and when used prior to a shave, it gives me the smoothest body in town! YES. The only thing I wish is that the packaging for both lines was a bit better. La Licious body whipped sugar scrub comes in huge box and it isn’t necessary.

Amore Pacific. I love this line. I use everything in the Moisture Rejuvinating line from daily face wash, moisture bound rejuvenating creme, face lotion with SPF toner, and lip balm. They are all awesome and I highly recommend them. The price is right and the products are even better. The only suggestion I would have is that Amore Pacific Face Lotion comes in a jar that is sometimes difficult to travel with. Thankfully, the Amore Pacific representatives at Neiman Marcus provide me with sample containers, which are perfect for traveling.

LOVE THIS TOO!

    I really love the beads. Have your worn them? Do they look as good in person? They seem very reasonable. I think I am going to try the vaseline spray moisturizer. Thank you for sharing.

      YES! I wore them yesterday. Vaseline is a lifesaver after the pool! Thanks for the comment.
