Summer Beauty Tips

Cute sandals, short-shorts and bronzed skin are just a few of the things that make summer a universal favorite season. There are so many festivities in the summer, that you need to look and feel your best for. We have compiled a list of simple and effective tips to look and feel your best this summer. 

Skin care: You should always take great care of your skin but since more skin is shown in the summer, it is essential to take great care of it. The obvious skin tip for summer is SPF. There is also a few things that you can do to give you a little boost in that department. 

1. Baby oil after you shower. Many people with beautiful, smooth skin are no strangers to baby oil. A little tip that I have discovered that has not only given me great skin but also yield noticeable results is using baby oil in the shower. I first use a creamy body wash (Olay and Dove are my favorites) and then after I am done, I apply baby oil to damp skin and allow myself to air dry. It is a bit time consuming but the results speak for themselves. 

Another great skin tip is the brown sugar/lemon scrub. This is great for exfoliating the dead skin and giving you a head to toe glow.  Once a week mix 1 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice to 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and exfoliate your entire body. It not only gives you a young, fresh face but also makes your legs look great for those short shorts. 

Another obvious but essential tip is drinking plenty of water. Naturally Alkaline Spring Water is the best for keeping you hydrated inside and out. 

These tips will keep you looking healthy and feeling it also. Another tip for summer is to always have your toes and nails painted. Check out great, bold summer colors, available here. Nail Polish
