Summer Skincare Faves (Top 4 Clean Products)

IMG_5975.JPG

In honor of #internationalselfcare day, I wanted to share with you my top 4 CLEAN beauty products that I have been loving all summer! If you know me, you know that I am slowly trying to transition to a clean, non-toxic, and sustainable lifestyle. Though, I admit, I still use other products that are not all “natural,” last year, I started trying out natural, clean facial skin care routine and I couldn’t imagine it otherwise! Now, I am just in the market to test out new clean beauty products and I found some that I find myself using almost everyday!

This is in collaboration with my friend Kelly Joya of MYLIFEASKELLS! Check out how she packs her makeup bag for the summer!


First things first! Get up and out of bed and set your mindset to have a productive, positive day. What helps me is using some essential oil roller blends! I get mine custom and homemade from Chronoworks. One of my favorites is the Happy EO Roller! To order yours, EMAIL chronoworksdesigns@gmail.com! There are so many essential oil combinations and they offer custom blends based on your needs. I love to roll some on my wrist and behind my ears. I take some deep breaths and I feel ready for the day.

Why I love it:

  • Chronoworks uses only the highest quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils with a SEED TO SEAL PROMISE.

  • Chronoworks EO rollers are blended with ORGANIC fractionated 100% coconut oil.

  • Essential oils offer a variety of benefits from cosmetic, dietary, spiritual, and religious uses. They enhance emotional, physical, spiritual wellness that can be truly life-changing.


Once, I get my mindset straight, I start my day by splashing my face with some cool water to help me get up. I cleanse with the C’est Moi: Gentle Cleansing Gel. It makes my skin feel so clean and soft and I love how it is not harsh on my skin. I was actually gifted this product and ended up LOVING it!

Why I love it:

  • It is a CLEAN product with clean ingredients.

  • The cleanser is: clinically tested, hypoallergenic, VEGAN, no animal testing, ewg verified, FRANGRANCE FREE, phthalate free, sulfate free, AND paraben free.

  • It is gentle yet effective, especially for a foaming cleanser.


SO IMPORTANT!

The first layer once you cleanse your skin, especially during the summer, is to apply SUNSCREEN! Pat it throughout your face and allow it to sink into your skin before applying anything else. My favorite sunscreen this summer has been the COOLA Mineral Sun Silk Créme Sunscreen! This product was also gifted to me and I don’t know what I’d do if I never had the opportunity to test it. IT IS SO GOOD.

Why I love it:

  • This COOLA sunscreen is a FULL spectrum 360° mineral sun silk créme, ORGANIC sunscreen with SPF 30. It uses non-nano zinc oxide to provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection!

  • Blended with antioxidants to help defend against free radicals and plant stem cells and niacinamide to help promote radiant and youthful skin. Also, extremely light and airy!

  • This COOLA sunscreen uses plant-derived full spectrum to help mitigate the effects of today’s modern-world skin-aggressors such as: blue light, HEV light, IR, and pollution.

  • 70% certified organic ingredients, oil-free, fragrance-free, vegan, non-gmo, paraben-free, and reef-friendly


Lastly, KEEP YOUR SKIN HYDRATED, girl! To moisturize my skin — and to keep it young (LOL), I use COSRX Advanced Snail 92 - All In One Cream! First of all, this is not gifted or sponsored, but I LOVE COSRX because they are all about clean beauty using simple, hypoallergenic ingredients! From their cleansers, to their creams, to their pimple patches. But this summer, I’ve been all about the snail cream.

Why I love it:

  • SNAIL TREND is in! The glycolic acid in snail mucin is said to help your cells produce collagen and elastin which helps even out skin tone and smooths out its surface.

  • COSRX Snail Cream is formulated with 92% snail secretion mucin gathered from living Korean snail.

  • Nourishing and moisturizing to help treat irritated skin and improve uneven skin. Super silky and soft.
