Introduction
As we edge toward the end of June and beginning of July, summer is now in full swing. This means heat, sweat, tanning, swimming, and lots of sun! I will be sharing my top summer products that I have used for awhile now. Each produces awesome results and will leave you feeling great. Disclaimer: I am all about using natural and healthy products for the skin. Some of these have low traces of potentially harmful ingredients, which is why I am promoting these products for their results, not necessarily ingredients (except for the Beauty Counter Sunscreen and the Simple SPF 15 moisturizer). Once I do more research on natural and result producing products, I promise another post!
Top Products In Order
This has been an acclaimed tanning product for a long time! I couldn't agree more, as it is my top pick. It truly does deepen and extend your tan. It also smells great and is not too greasy or thick! I love using this product year round to hold a glowing tan. However, I do not recommend using this product every day or for long periods, since it has low traces of potentially harmful ingredients like BHT and Fragrance.
This is a classic. It provides your hair needed moisture from drying chlorine and prevents frizz during humid summer days. You can use this in any season, but with its light weight nature and smoothing, moisturizing results, it is best for summer!
This was also in my skin care post. These are face blotters that you use in a patting motion to get rid of excess oil and shine on your face. It is great for all types of days, makeup or not. I take them with me everywhere! There are all kinds of brands and all are affordable!
I am a very sweaty person (is this a TMI? I'm sorry!), so a very important thing to me is having a strong, good smelling deodorant. After trial and error many times, the Secret Gel Deodorant became my favorite! It doesn't leave any white streaks, lasts a long time, and provides little to no sweat. I am still in search for a natural deodorant option, since studies related to cancer have come out related to deodorant. But for now, I try and take deodorant detox days when I am staying home.
I love this fun summer product! It is lightweight and smells great. This serves as a special occasion option; whether you spray it on your hair or body is your choice. I like to use it when I go tanning for a vibrant, glowing look.
This sunscreen is great since it is lightweight, smells good, and lasts 80 minutes. You can buy it in SPF 15/30/50 and as a spray or rub on. Rub on sunscreen has better protection, so I always suggest you use that. However, I have a few concerns about the ingredients in their sunscreen, which I promise to look into more and potentially find a better sunscreen!
You can use this as an everyday moisturizer or just when tanning. It is a little oily, which is why it is ranked slightly lower, but I find it useful when my skin is dried out from chlorine and sun exposure.
I love light weight hair products that help my natural curls come out and don't make my thin hair too flat. While I like it for mine, this leave in conditioner is a great option for any hair type, and it is especially great after swimming!
Closing
Let me know how these products work for you. All are awesome and produce excellent results! I hope you find the same. Thanks for reading my post and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
