Best American Made Summer Beauty Essentials

Deodorant

Try a natural brand that works.  Crystal Deodorant comes in a convenient roller ball, it's a no mess application so I love just tossing it in my purse.  It's free of toxins and works by using mineral salt.  Their scents are light and pleasant, unscented is an option too.  The formula is clear, smooth and comfortable.  You can re apply in the warm summer months without any clumping or buildup.

Foundation

Opt for BB or CC cream.  CC cream will blend in with your summer complexion without melting off.  Most offer multiple benefits in one: light to medium coverage, sun protection, pigment correction and light hydration.  The Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream is one of my favorites. So easy to use!  For better coverage you can use a brush or sponge but you can keep it simple with your finger tips for this tube.

Cleanser

Instead of a cream cleanser, get a foaming or gel cleanser.  All the nourishment of a cream is great but in the summer sun we need to get the extra oils, dirt and sunscreen thoroughly washed away.  My selection is Pacifica Sea Foam Face Wash for all skin types. The coconut water base is refreshing.  This wash is toxin free and full of antioxidants.

Moisturizer

Put away your moisturizer that doesn't have sunscreen. Instead get – a moisurizing suncreen with at last a 30 SPF.  Anything less does not block the chemical response from the sun rays to the melanin, causing sun burns and sun damage at minimum.  Bare Republic Clearscreen Sunscrean Lotion offers protection from UV rays while adding moisture to the the skin.  It's delicate, non-toxic, reef friendly, cruelty free and water resistant.

Hair

Instead of a Heavy Hair Serum, get a lightweight product that can be spritzed on.  You can still keep frizz down without the extra weight for silky summer hair.  Try Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Texturizing Sea Salt Spray.  It balances the moisture, tames the frizz and helps create tousled looking waves.

Enjoy your warm summer days and longer nights.  Let me know if you need something swapped out for summer.  I will find you a great American made product for your summer needs.
