Glorious Summer is here. Beach time, pool time, concert going, biking, hiking or kayaking, all these activities we wait all winter long to bask in the joys when Mother Nature is smiling on us. While reveling in this wonderful time of the year, don't forget to protect yourself from too much sun and environmental aggressors. Here are a couple of my favorite Summer Sun Essentials!
1. Eminence Organics Sun Defense SPF 30
These beautiful brush-on, easy application and carry Micronized Zinc Oxide Sun Defense Minerals are fabulous for on-the-go Sun Protection. They are available in 5 different shades of minerals pigments and will match most skin types. Not only does it provide an SPF 30, but it also works as an anti-inflammatory, is water resistant, and is hypoallergenic. The easy pump brush is simple to apply and carry anywhere. Definately a new Nic Product Pick.
2. Tropical Vanilla SPF 32 Face Formulation and Body Formulation
This is the most heavenly smelling SPF product I have ever found. The uplifting scent of Vanilla is superb in these products and are more than just smell good sun protectant products. Using the power of Zinc Oxide and Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (a clear liquid compound that absorbs UVB light), Tropical Vanilla SPF 32 products give you great protection from the sun but also help restore the delicate water content in your skin. Studies show that after using the Tropical Vanilla Sun Cream over 7 days,your moisture content increases by 250%!
3. Aloe Mint Hydrating Gel Face Formulation and Body Formulation
This calming and soothing cream gel will help reduce skin irritation and inflammation while fighting against the damaging effects of overexposure to the sun and elements without clogging pores. It has a fabulous refreshing cooling sensation on the delicate skin and is a MUST HAVE for the Summer Season. It is available in a face formulation and a body formulation. If you find yourself a little over kissed by the sun, pick up this beautiful product to calm and soothe your skin.
