Summer is all about sun worshiping, and that makes me happy. Although nothing feels better than the warmth of our bright friend the sun on my face, I’m all too aware of the toll it takes on my skin and hair. So, I’m sharing my favorite products for combating skin damage, unwanted changes in hair color, and the sweet smell of sweat.
1. Maskeraide Facial Sheet Masks: These eco-friendly hydrating facial sheet masks are perfect for nourishing your skin after those long days outside in the sun. I like the “Weekend Warrior” and loved how little time it took to rehydrate my skin. You just open the pouch, unfold the mask and gently place it on your face. The relaxing mask should be worn for about 15 minutes. Afterward, your skin will feel hydrated, smooth, and calm. Other great masks from their product line include the Pre Party Prep, All Nighter, Detox Diva, I Don’t Wanna Grow Up, and Beauty Restore. www.maskeraide.com
2. Joico’s Color Balance Shampoo & Conditioner: This color care product line is great for brunettes who turn reddish, or blondes who get brassy after being out in the sun. The Blue hair care line is for brunettes, and the Purple line is for blondes – both contain a pigment that immediately neutralizes any warm, orangish tones. Try using these once a week or every other wash to help keep color correct. www.joico.com
3. Fekkai Hair Fragrance Mist: It’s time to say goodbye to smelly gym sweat or last nights’ club odor in your hair! Fekkai has saved the day with its light hair fragrance mist, which beside leaving a soft smell that lasts for hours it also tames flyaways. The full bottle is 1.7 ounces, which is great for traveling, and can now be found at most drugstores. My favorite scent is the Rose Fraiche, but you can test out other scents by picking up the mini-mist collection, which includes three 1-ounce scents (additional scents are Citron et Menthe and Crème Vanillée). No matter which scent you prefer, the mist is an excellent way to keep fresh when running around in the heat or going from day to night. www.fekkai.com
