How to Get Your Skin Summer Ready

Ever wonder what it takes to be an A-Lister to glow with an otherworldly luminesce? You know the kind of incandescent glowing skin that feels like suede to the touch. Flawless, buttery complexions are there to be had if you put in the time and effort. If you have a summer wedding approaching its best to start now in polishing and buffing your way to complexion perfection.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  1. Jimmy Coco-Buff and Tan Mitt – Granted it is for a dry skin buff before you apply your self-tanning solution, however, it is perfect for dry skin buffing period. Easy to use, travel-friendly and takes less than 3 minutes to buff the entire body.
  2. Bio Oil Specialist Skincare – The skin serum can improve the appearance of stretch marks, scars, and uneven skin tone. Apply this directly to your body after you shower. This oil is moisturizing and healing.
  3. Lancer Body Polish – One of my holy grail and no compromise beauty products. I’m sure it will be forever one of my go-to brands. This legendary dermatologist has some of the world’s best solutions for every skin need. The body polish is a warming exfoliator that exfoliates away dull, dry surface cells to reveal fresh, glowing skin. Finely-milled, pure quartz crystals and salicylic acid smooth and even out the skin’s surface.
  4. H20 is your friend make sure you drink your daily intake of water. It keeps your cells plump and skin glowing and flushes out any toxins.
  5. Get to know “THE ORDINARY” range. It’s affordable and sits in the bathroom vanity cabinets of celebs like Kim K. Great for anti-aging and smoothing the skin out. Be sure always to wear a sunscreen during the day as these products work really well but make your skin sun sensitive. The Ordinary’s portfolio of retinoids includes the following formulations:
    Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, No Irritation)
    Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (High Strength, No to Low Irritation)
    Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (Low Strength, Moderate Irritation)
    Retinol 0.5% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, High Irritation)
    Retinol 1% in Squalane (High Strength, Very High Irritation)
  6. Hyaluronic acid- This will boosts the hydration of the surface of the skin. Check out The Ordinary” for their “multi-depth” plumping formula.
  7. Sunscreen-NEVER EVER GO WITHOUT IT! J Best antiaging formula there is. Trust me, in years to come you will not have ever regretted applying this every day. Now thanks to Sunshine & Glitter there is a sparkle formula that is non-toxic, SPF 50 and is even a bug repellent! Anyone for Glamping?

HOW TO:

Remember dry buff your skin first before applying any products, then shower. Use the Lancer Body polish for that smooth and supple skin while showering. Pat yourself dry.  After the shower, apply Bio Oil to your body. With any antiaging products like “the Ordinary” apply those to your décolletage every other day. The Hyaluronic acid can be applied daily to any moisturizer or Bio oil.
