Here are some of my tried and true cruelty-free tips for looking cool when it’s too hot to give a damn.
Your Epidermis is Showing:
Make your shower your own personal spa! After you are done brewing your favorite free-trade, organic coffee, dump the grinds into a baggie, add a splash of Grapeseed oil, your favorite essential oil and WHAM, you have an in shower body treatment that will slough away dull skin, stimulate blood flow and collagen and give you a lil’ kick in your organic booty shorts! Holla! Don’t drink coffee? No worries, use sugar or salt instead.
Pubes [and body hair in general]:
You spend way to much time thinking about your pubes. Get lasered already and be done with it. Laser hair removal will clear up all the bumps and break-outs caused by waxing and shaving and will remove your unwanted hair for good. Plus, your sessions are every 4-6 weeks so you aren”t constantly schlepping and calling for appointments! Get up in the morning and GO without ever having to think about your pubes, ‘stache or leg hair, like for real! Who wants to spend a gorgeous summer day running to get an itchy dirty wax or using a stinky toxic depilatory cream??! You’re smarter than that. Boys, you aren’t free from this shout out – dump that back hair for good. We promise you, s/he doesn’t find it hot. Unless s/he is a bear chaser and you know what? We got nuthin’ but love. But that’s a whole other blog topic.
Give Good Face, Rita:
It’s a-ok to go totes make-up free during the summer if you are feeling naturally beautiful. Especially if you have regular deep cleaning facials to pull all that sweat, dirt, and toxins outta your skin. Phloretin CF, under your sunscreen makes your skin look glowy and fresh. This miracle serum has been proven to help prevent skin cancer and protect skin from sun and environmental damage. We use it in all of our facials, along with customized botanicals.
Look into my “Raccoon” eyes:
Let’s face it, mascara is not our friend when it’s a bazillion degrees and 100% humidity. Getting a lash tint will give you dark lush lashes that will last all summer long; outta bed, outta the pool, outta the gym gorgeousness without raccoon eyes, flaking or smudgies! Our lash Diva Yoshie was featured on Tyra doin’ lashes, book your appointment with Yoshie here.
