Exfoliation is a crucial step. With a proper skincare regimen, you should be increasing cell turnover. Those dead skin cells will hang out on your skin and clog your pores causing breakouts and a dull appearance if you don’t exfoliate. This could be ...

This is not your ordinary, mask.  When your skin needs a drink, a refresh, this mask should be your go to.  It is so cool and refreshing, and you can just feel your skin saying thank you as it soaks up the moisture.  Some masks are recommended maybe once a week, but I could recommend this one for daily pampering if necessary.

Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to moisturize and use an SPF.

Some moisturizers work for every skin type like Flawless. Others are formulated for specific skin types like Hydralift. Still others include an SPF like daylight and can be layered with other moisturizers if your skin needs an extra drink. In this da...

 I personally love Flawless and I always layer it with Daylight to protect my skin from UV. But if you want a highly customized moisturizer, I would recommend the Hydralift that is specific to your skin type in the evening and Daylight in the morning....

Then, after the shower, apply Lavish body butter.  Not only does it smell divine and leave your skin soft and radiant, it has many other touted uses.  The unique blend of natural ingredients has been shown to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars, to heal extremely dry, cracked skin, and to speed up the the healing of burns, including sunburns.  And you'll smell great all while doing it.  Also available in a lavender scent.

Especially with summer coming up, everyone wants that sun-kissed glow, but do you really want to risk the damage UV can wreak?  Consider instead wearing an SPF anytime your're going to be outside and then getting your glow on with these self tanning drops.  They are easy to apply, just mix a few drops into your preferred moisturize before putting it on.  They don't come with the same yucky smell that most self tanners have.  Instead they have a very light, citrusy scent like most Ever products.
