Summer Beauty Tips

Bang the drum, sound the alarm, grab your best bikini ladies…this morning I hit the astro turf at the KTLA Morning News to report on exactly what you’ll need this summer to look glowing, tan, taught and firm!  If I had to coin the season, it’s all about keeping yourself “right and tight!  So here’s my top 7 list of how we easily and affordably amplify our summer sizzle…

Summer: Hair gets lighter, skin gets darker, water gets warmer, nights get longer, music gets louder & life gets better!

1. DERMOVIA LACE YOUR FACE MASK

PRICE: $55 for a box of 4
SHOP: www.dermovia.com
WHAT: I knew it! One day someone would come up with a face mask that mimics Spanx and shape wear to tone, firm, lift, hydrate and brighten complexions. And now a darling local, LA gal, Mariella Scott, did just this! Lace Your Face Masks use this cool “Lace-Tex” (NOT LATEX) material to envelop your skin in a complex of botanical vitamins: Squalene, Apple Stem Cell and Dew Grass Extract! The minerals are sourced from deep within the seawaters of Tahiti. Dermovia’s about to blow up with 9 different options that range from: Chamomile to Bearberry to Healing Yogurt and Milk. I’m in love with whole concept. And realize the month of June is all about getting photographed for weddings, showers and graduations. For me…this is how I’m prepping my face and saving money V.S. heading out to a spa for a much pricier treatment that tries to accomplish much the same as Dermovia at three time the cost!

2. CARESS EMERALD RUSH BODY WASH

Also, the lip colors can go on super full or just dab them for a lighter stained look!” I applied this to myself with my fingers in 2 minutes and had a full of instant color that was really pretty!
