Want to leave other carpool and soccer mom’s jaws dropping curbside wondering what your secrets are to looking so fresh faced and fabulous? I did a little research on the topic and came up with 7 essentials you can dial into you beauty routine right from the comfort of your car’s driver’s seat! I’m not kidding here…but be sure to try these grooming tips while your vehicle is in “park” and you’re not rolling down the road singing “Proud Mary” at the top of your lungs (this is my public service announcement from me to you).

These maximum strength dermatologist-recommended wipes are a unique formula made with 100% naturally derived grapefruit plus vitamin C. The citrus aroma delivers such a powerful midday pick-me-up, you’ll forget it’s a powerful acne treatment tool, but they are! You might not realize this however acne can start forming under your skin literally weeks before you physically see it! So these wipes are life savers for those times when you’re on the run or in-between activities with the kids to ensure bacteria and oil don’t settle in the skin. And if a touch of mascara or eyeliner travels to parts unknown, it can clean this up in jiffy without over-drying your complexion.

Use it throughout the day to give hair instant energy. Rich in natural proteins and botanicals it supports by adding definition, body and bounce while eliminating frizzies. Effective on wet or dry hair,it never builds up or weighs hair down. What I’m a huge fan of is it’s ability to extend the life of your style without shampooing when your on-the-go from school straight to the soccer field. Keep one in the car and the other in your tote bag for anytime you’re having a B.H.D. (Translation: Bad Hair Day).
