Enjoy!
HAIR:
When I think about Summer I think of beach waves and braids so during those months I try to go au naturale, though I use the same hair routine all year long I find that using a shampoo + conditioner that helps my hair stay free of frizz longer is vital during the Summer since I keeps me from having to run for that straighter or curling wand daily { I use Keratin Smooth from TRESemme } When it comes to using hot tools I keep them stored unless it's a special occasion like a family function or for a fun night out with my boyfriend. I also don't like to use hairspray during the day, Summer days here in Texas are crazy hot! So adding hairspray only adds on to the damaging effects the sun it self has on our hair daily. I like to keep my hair ends looking healthy so I like to apply a serum daily { Nexxus Pro-mend Smoothing Shine Serum } Finally, to protect my hair from the harmful sun rays for that I use { Kérastase Soleil Huile Céleste }
FACE:
My face routine doesn't necessarily change I have normal skin with an oily 'T-Zone' and have been using { Cicatricure Microdermabrasion } for the last few years and I am very pleased though during the Summer I like to use { Witch Hazel } just on my 'T-Zone because it is stronger so it doesn't make the rest of my skin extra dry that may cause irritation. I tend to ditch my full coverage foundation and let my sin breathe so I lean towards my tinted moisturizer or mineral makeup { bareMINERALS } When it comes to makeup I go for bronze or gold and orange shimmery tones as eyeshadows and anything that hydrates my lips is in my beauty bag. I love cream blushes and lip stains because they last longer and give you a natural look.
SKIN:
I try keep my skin well moisturized during cold winter days as well as those Texas summer days so I like to exfoliate everyday. Instead of shaving I like to use an epilator or hair removing creams. Even though I am Latina I do have uneven skin tone so using a self-tanner is my little trick that I like to use. My favorite one that I have been using for years is the Jergens Daily Moisturizer, I like to use it to even out my naturally tanned skin. I love Jergens because not only does it moisturize your skin, it can be easily incorporated into your daily routine, it's buildable and there's none of that 'self-tanner' smell!
NAILS:
When it comes to nails I like to keep my toes pretty longer by using the {Mally 24/7 Professional 17pc Gel Nail Polish System } it helps me by not having to do my toes every two-weeks or so. When it comes to my fingers I prefer to change every week or so, since I do wash dishes, clean and cook I often get chipped nails even when being careful! I also like to use nail polish appliques hey! a little cheating doesn't hurt anyone!
*Quick Nail Polish Tip: Apply base, add first coat of polish, add a mattifying base coat and re-apply nail polish!
Jergens makes it easier than ever to glow with the NEW Natural Glow Moisturizers that provides great color, year-round, without the sunless tanner odor.
