Temperatures are beginning to rise and the need for a lighter oil free moisturizer is here. Using the same moisturizers in the summer that you do in the winter may result in having a shiny, heavy-feeling complexion.
Here are some suggestions on some of our top rated brands of lightweight moisturizers:
As always don’t forget to top off your moisturizer with SPF to protect your skin from those harmful little UVA/UVB rays that can damage your skin!

 Ah, summertime! The sun is shining brightly, the days are longer and we start spending a lot more time outdoors. While we all know that sun protection is important all year long, it is especially important when spending longer periods of time in the sun. While you are out there enjoying the sunshine this summer, don’t forget that your lips also need protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Don’t let the heat can leave you with dry, chapped lips. Keep them hydrated along with the rest of your body.
A great choice for both men and women is the Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25. Shea butter, avocado oil and Vitamin E sooth and nourish the lips while the natural mint and green tea add a soothing and refreshing touch. The texture is hydrating but not heavy and is perfect to wear alone or on top of your favorite lip color.

Long flights not only invade your sense of comfort, but they also aggressively deplete your levels of moisture, leaving your skin looking dull and lackluster. Here are a few product recommendations to soothe and hydrate your skin while you’re traveling:
NUXE Crème Fraiche Concentree – 24hr Energizing Moisture Cream – Dry to Very Dry.
This product absorbs nicely and provides 24 hour moisture leaving the skin toned, refreshed and hydrated all day long. Use morning and night a few days before and after you flight for prevention and maintenance.
Phytomer Marine Breeze (Souffle Marin) Energizing Oxygenating Serum.
This is a smart choice. Considering the less than great air circulating through the main cabin on a plane, this marine based serum actively neutralizes environmental aggressors and helps to defend the skin by re-oxygenating itself for a fresher appearance.
Jane Iredale Balance Antioxidant Hydration Spray.
Stow this baby in your purse and use it throughout the flight. A quick spritz and the antioxidant compound will help for your skin to resist any microbial and free radical harm.
 I’m sure you’ve heard time and time again that it’s essential to drink eight glasses of water daily. And we hope that you do water your diet to the max. Water helps to purge your body of toxins and debris. Your body is mostly made of water. In fact, your body is about 75% water! Water is the elixir or life. Literally.
Unfortunately, we often find ourselves sipping on coffee in the morning, soda in the afternoon, maybe a beer or two in the evening. Some people leave water completely out of their daily diet regimen. But coffee, soda, fruit juice, alcohol, etcetera DO NOT replace our much-needed H2O! In fact, those beverages can dehydrate you even further, resulting in headache, jitters, anxiety, fatigue and even weight gain from unnecessary calories and sugars.
They say it takes about 20 days to form a new habit. So for 20 days do what it takes to remember to drink up, after then it’ll just be second nature for you. Set up a water alarm on your phone, or a message on your Outlook inbox, or simply write yourself a sticky note and keep it where you’ll see it every day. And always carry a water bottle with you. If you have water with you, it’s more likely that you’ll just sip, sip, and sip throughout the day!
Add lemon and cucumber slices to your water, too. Not only will your water taste great, it’ll also be rich in antioxidants! Way too boost your immune system, and it’s super simple too.
And if you’re looking to loose weight, water will help you. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning, a glass of water before each meal, and a glass of water before bed. This will help you to feel full and it’ll also help to clean your liver and gall bladder. Note; warm water can give a sensation of fullness even more so than cold water!
And if you don’t like the taste of water or lemon water, then you can use a fruit-flavored water booster! We like Dr. Brandt Detoxifying Anti-Oxidant Water Booster – Goji and Maqui, which not only works to make your water delicious, but it also has antioxidants which keep your skin and body healthy from the inside-out!
 With the cold weather upon us, our skin can often become dehydrated. Adding a hydrating toner to your usual skincare regimen can be very beneficial. Toners are great for removing any residue after cleansing and balancing the skin. To help fight off dehydration, try a hydrating toner or mist that is alcohol-free and contains ingredients to help your skin stay hydrated throughout the day.
Even an oily skin can benefit from using a hydrating toner since dehydration is a problem that affects all skin types. When the hydration level in the skin is properly balanced, your skin will not overproduce oil to compensate.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Juara Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner – The tamarind is used to increase hydration in the skin throughout the day, while the blend of white, green & black teas provide excellent antioxidant protection. For oily skin types this can even be used in place of a moisturizer.
Kinerase Hydrating Antioxidant Mist – This can be used both as a toner after cleansing and as a rehydrating mist throughout the day. It contains Hyaluronic Acid to help the skin retain moisture all day long.
ARCONA Triad Pads – These multitasking gems are my go to items after a long day. These pads are infused with cranberry toner and are great for removing makeup and leaving the skin feeling hydrated and nourished. They cleanse, tone, hydrate and provide antioxidant protection all in one little swipe.
 Summer is here and we all want to keep our bodies soft and hydrated, but slathering on those thick body creams we use during the cold winter months can be too much. Not to mention when you start sweating later and end up feeling all greasy and sticky.
Try using lighter products like lotions, milks, or gel moisturizers. Look for lotions with Water, Aloe Vera, Jojoba, Almond Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Vitamins A, C and E. Of course if you’re going to be out in the sun don’t forget the SPF, look for products with ingredients Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide.
Here are some excellent options SkinStore offers to keep that healthy summer glow:
Tip: Using a body moisturizer daily can help prevent dry, ashy skin and drinking plenty of water can help prevent dehydration.
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so take care of it!
