SUMMER BEAUTY SURVIVAL GUIDE

Need to cover gray hair or get a bikini was fast for an impromptu pool party? Your July 4th weekend plans can shift from low to high gear out of no where! My KTLA Summer Survival Guide answers these 911 grooming emergencies with tips that will transform your appearance from beach parties to family reunions in minutes. Have a great 4th Of July Weekend.

PROBLEM:
Over dosing on daily SPF, sweat & summer pollution are leaving your complexion dull.
SOLUTION:
BANILA CO. HI BYE VITA PEEL CLEAR PADS
PRICE: $20 (40 Pads) SAVE 15% USE CODE: KTLA (when you checkout)
SHOP: Banilausa.com
Get your gorgeous glow back easily with minimal effort! I love these jars of dual-sided, textured exfoliating pads drenched in AHA Ingredients and fortified with 14 Vitamins because they cleanse, remove dead skin cells and banish impurities in as little as one use. And you have a couple options depending on your skin type! Each pad features two levels of exfoliants. Side 1 is more mild for a gentler experience, and side 2 is more intense for a deeper treatment. So it’s a one/two punch of a chemical + physical exfoliation that works in tandem revealing your natural, glowing skin. Try giving it 7 days of daily use to witness the full impact. I equate Vita Peel Clear Pads with “power tools!” Use them to blast the build up of SPF and summer grim off your face fast.
SUN SMART TIP: Always be diligent about wearing sunscreen when using these pads, as the AHA in them can make you a bit more photosensitive.

PROBLEM:
I’ve been experiencing sudden hot flashes, and the summer temperatures are only adding to and intensifying this sensation.

SOLUTION:
PAUSE WELL AGING HOT FLASH COOLING MIST
PRICE: $39, SAVE: 15%, CODE: SUMMER15
SHOP: Pausewellaging.com

By 2020, more than 70 million women in the U.S. will be 45 or older — the average age that perimenopause begins.
Pause, a first-of-its-kind, science-based skincare line, was created by beauty guru Rochelle Weitzner for women going through the different stages of menopause – a hugely underserved market.
Hot flashes are the most common symptom of hormonal changes during menopause and are a “next level” frustration during summer months.

The Pause Hot Flash Cooling Mist provides instant relief from the discomfort of hot flashes by creating the sensation of lowering your body’s surface temperature, cooling and calming skin, reducing redness and evaporating sweat. Plus it’s complex of ingredients aggressively and effectively supports collagen production to lift, firm and tone skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. So it’s takes the aging battle to the next level. Think of it like a smart phone for the aging process.

PROBLEM:
When I apply SPF, and I’m already sweaty… it doesn’t always apply according to plan. The heavy texture is a mess.

SOLUTION:
LA ROCHE-POSAY ANTHELIOS 60 COOLING WATER LOTION SUNSCREEN
PRICE: $35.99
SHOP: Target & Drugstores Nationwide
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Cooling Water Lotion Sunscreen is specifically designed for those who avoid traditional sunscreen textures. What’s refreshing and beauty influencers, like me, see as a game changer is the revolutionary formula transforms like water on skin. Translation? It’ll absorb instantly and weightlessly. Plus when you research how well it protects… it simultaneously shields skin from the sun with Cell-Ox Shield® technology, a synergistic combination of filters that provides advanced UVA/UVB and antioxidant protection to defend against free radicals. I haven’t seen a cooling SPF that perfected everyone’s texture issue, AND blocks harmful rays this seamlessly before now. It’s a slam dunk MUST for music festivals, pool parties, weddings… anything outdoors where the sun is a key factor.

PROBLEM:
You suddenly have a hot date and put off the wax appointment never thinking this date was on your horizon…

SOLUTION:
NAD’S FACIAL WAX STRIPS & BODY WAX STRIPS
FACE: MSRP $4.99 20ct
BODY: MSRP $6.99 20ct
SHOP: Target, Walmart, Ulta Beauty and Drugstores nationwide

Nad’s Facial & Body Wax Strips are my go-to option when it comes needing a no mess method to remove face or body hair efficiently. If you wind up with a last minute date, invite to a wedding or spontaneous get-out-town vacay… Nad’s is about to become your new best friend. They’re easy to pack-and-go at a moment’s notice, which is what I love about the brand. It’s all about user-friendly discreet convenience. Skin, head to toe, will be hair free and feel silky smooth for up to four weeks.

The strips are made with a unique Contour Weave Fabric which effortlessly shapes to the body’s curves to remove unwanted body hair as short as 2mm.
The wax itself is formulated with natural Beeswax to effectively remove hair gently on both face and body.
Suitable for legs, arms, underarms and the bikini area.
Nad’s Facial Wax Strips are also specially formulated for sensitive facial areas.
They too come with a soft, flexible fabric and are sized to conform to the smaller curves of your face, especially those awkward places like the jawline, chin and the upper lip.

PROBLEM:
Between warm temps and humidity, this summer, I no sooner apply lipstick and it’s gone! Poof, just like that!

SOLUTION:
MAYBELLINE NEW YORK SUPERSTAY INK CRAYON
PRICE: $9.49
SHOP: Amazon.com
High performance, low maintenance lip color finally. The soft bullet lip crayon provides up 8 hrs of saturated matte made to last color with no need for touch ups. Formulated with innovative elastic ink technology, the 12 shades form a thin layer of color for a weightless, comfortable feel. So I wrote the Maybelline New York team, requesting some samples to road test and they obliged. This is exactly what I could have used while I was down in Riviera Nayarit, México (lesson learned for next time! I’ll be more prepared). I spent one of the days driving an ATV, and then immediately following that… camped out on a yacht taking photos rapid fire, with no presence of mind nor time for touch ups. So this summer when you’re at music festivals, weddings, family reunions, hanging out at the beach… but want to look together throughout the day – these ink crayons afford us one less thing to have to do manage our appearance over an 8 hour period.

PROBLEM:
My gray hair appeared out of no where, literally overnight and now I have tickets to a music festival, but “no!” I’m not taking my gray hair as my date. Help!

SOLUTION:

This does the trick, no need to run to a salon. One of Root Erase’s 13 shades will match your shade seamlessly (even salon color!) and the dual valve canister allows for both the colorant and developer to be dispensed simultaneously, resulting in an easier stress-free application experience. No need to figure out how much to mix of what, when and less mess. Simply: pump, mix & apply. Plus, it’s reusable giving you up to 3 root touch ups per one canister. A pro quality, reusable brush is included for easy application.
