Sunkissed Summer: Six Beauty Essentials
We know you're probably outside enjoying the holiday, but before you head off to the beach, here are a few beauty essentials that will make your skin glow and your lips gleam. Perfect for the all-natural beach bunny.
1. Of course, the most important thing on the list is sunblock and Jason makes a great organic version that goes on light and provides protection up to SPF 30. Jason Mineral Sunblock is a very affordable option at $11.49 for a five-ounce tube.
2. Some natural deodorants just don't cut it, but Soapwalla's Deodorant Cream does double duty. Not only does it keep you from sweating, it also smells absolutely lovely. Get it on Etsy; a two-ounce tub is just $12.
3. Skin feeling fried after a day in the sun? Rehydrate and refresh with a few spritzes of Caudalie Beauty Elixir. Made without paragons, sulfates, and other harmful chemicals, this spray is guaranteed to make you glow.
4. No one likes being eaten alive, but conventional bug spray often contains harmful chemicals and carries a nasty scent. Not anymore, thanks to Intelligent Nutrients! They've created a Certified Organic Perfume Spray that will keep the mosquitos away and leave you smelling warm and woodsy with hints of rosemary, cedar and clove.
5. If you forget the sunscreen, don't worry: There's still time for damage control. Pamper your abused skin with a dose of Burt's Bees Aloe & Linden Flower After Sun Soother. Packed with aloe vera and coconut oil, a six-ounce tube is available online for $10.
6. Finally, no summer beauty look is complete without a swipe of lip gloss. Choose a bright, punchy red for a classic glam look. May we suggest Nvey Eco's Hydrating Lip Luster? Get a tube online at Zappos.
