TIME TO DIVORCE YOUR BOTTLE OF DRY SHAMPOO… Spraying white powder into our hair hoping to cleanse it, is just weird right? So enter… Swair! It’s a new way to clean your hair this summer. Swair is Shower-less Shampoo!! It’s a vegan, cruelty free, game-changing innovation that cleans your hair without suds, rinsing or lingering residue. It’s a liquid formula vs a powder and has been talked up recently by Pop Sugar, Real Simple and the Today Show! It’s eco-friendly too. Get this: It’s estimated that by using their Showerless Shampoo, you can cut down on traditional hair washing by at least twice a week. If a normal shampoo takes you three minutes (let’s be honest, it’s probably more), you are saving a minimum of six gallons of water each week. That’s 312 gallons per year. And with a busy Summer ahead this is the perfect grab-and-go essential for your beach bag, at the gym or on your vacay when the last thing you want to do is spend a ton of time washing and styling your hair.

MY FEEDBACK: It reminds me of when you feed your plants light therapy to nourish and help it grow! If you feed us the right combo of lights, we flourish too! Turns out, this is exactly how light therapy was developed by NASA! Initially NASA developed it to grow plants and then to mitigate bone and muscle loss in astronauts. In a nutshell… light therapy has come a long way!

KATE SOMERVILLE’S KATECEUTICALS OVERNIGHT RESURFACING PEEL

SHOP: www.katesomerville.com

THIS ONE-STEP TUBE OF GOODNESS… In my opinion, is just as effective as a spa facial at a fraction of the cost!!! This NEW clinic-grade overnight peel improves 3 things: skin luminosity, fine lines & texture in just one use. At her Hollywood clinic, Esthetician, Kate Somerville and her team of Skin Health Experts are sought after by some of the world’s most discerning faces to deliver visible skin transformations fast. Now they’ve bottled one of their best kept anti-aging secrets, Kate’s innovative clinic peel, for use at home to transform skin texture and visibly reduce dark spots, lines & wrinkles overnight.

MY FEEDBACK: I’ve been using this regularly and love it. Why? Excellent resurfacing results and comments from my friends saying this is the youngest I’ve ever looked.

LE MIEUX MEET THEIR SUMMER GLOW TEAM!!!

OH MY GLOW (OMG) ACTIVATOR & SERUM + IONIZED OXYGEN DEVICE

SHOP: lemieuxskincare.com

$121.50, Ionized Oxygen Device
$100, The Serum Duo

WANT INSTANT VOLUME AND GLASS-LIKE GLOWING SKIN? Could this be your least invasive and least expensive alternative to a more major face lift? The diamond-infused, peptide-powered Oh My Glow Activator and Oh My Glow Serum work together when you load it into Le Mieux’s ionized oxygen infuser & mist the combo to plump, hydrate, and breathe life back into aging skin. This one/two serum punch that mists over your face aren’t just water as one of my clients asked me. Don’t get it twisted! It’s a cutting edge, state of art beauty cocktail called Hya10+ Complex. Here’s what it all means? It’s 10 different forms of hyaluronic acid which volumizes skin to erase fine lines and wrinkles, while genuine diamond powder simultaneously diffuses a luminous glow and helps even out skin tone. Not only is the machine a fun new way to apply your skincare, BUT from a technical perspective it micronizes the oxygenated products for an even application and fast absorption of skincare nutrients from head to toe. Your arms, legs, and body can benefit from your skincare products too! The mist has a nice cooling sensation that’s perfect for the Summer as well!

MY FEEDBACK: It’s interesting for as long as I can remember, esthetician’s use to be the only ones w/access to an oxygen unit or tank UNTIL NOW. I use it daily on myself & also on clients during their facials. It’s easy, takes literally 20 seconds to prepare, and it’s instant gratification at its highest!!

TIERRA & LAVA TURMERIC & VANILLA MINERAL BASED BROAD SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN SPF 15

SHOP: Beautyologie.com It’s Beautyologie with an “I E.” It’s the newest ethical and fair trade beauty website, influencers are buzzing about in 2021.

$20

TIRED OF SUNSCREEN SPILLING IN YOUR BAG? Cautious of applying SPF chemicals you can’t pronounce, let alone understand their purpose? This mineral based, reef-safe and sweat resistant Broad Spectrum SPF from the Guatemalan brand Tierra & Lava makes liquid sunscreens a thing of the past with its spill-proof balm-like consistency. Housed in a portable, eco-friendly plastic-free tin, this sunscreen is infused with Turmeric, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powerhouse that brings out your natural glow. It’s also packed with Vanilla, a B-vitamin secret that protects your skin from environmental damage.

MY FEEDBACK: What I love so much about Lucy Ashman’s Zinc & Titanium Dioxide SPF? It only has 8 ingredients and 2 mineral ingredients. Best part is I can pronounce all of them: Macadamia Nut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Golden Beeswax, Coconut Oil, French Marigold, Turmeric and Vanilla. That’s it! You shouldn’t have to compromise with natural skincare – you can have a product that is both kind to your skin and the earth.
