This would be perfect for a pre-teen or someone who isn’t very sweaty. I love that it’s natural!
In the summer my make up routine is all about a natural look that will last through the heat with the least amount of products. Easy? No, but I have recently found new products that help me look my best this summer:

I’d say that in Missouri, we are in the dog days of summer! It is hot and humid. My skin is being abused by the heat and the dry air inside.
This week I’m loving deep cleansing skincare, a facial oil for damaged skin, and treatments for a sunburned bod. It’s so important to take care of your skin when the sun is so bright! My new faves are:

What I think: This oil is so soothing! My skin is very sensitive, but this doesn’t irritate it at all. I like using it as a nighttime treatment in the summer. It is especially nice after a day in the sun. I apply it to clean skin, then in the morning my skin is soft and it feels refreshed.
Ola Tropical Apothecary After Sun Healing Remedy ($24 USD, 4 fl. oz.) – an exceptional natural sun recovery formula designed to treat over exposure to the sun by repairing and replenishing damaged, thirsty skin.

Let cool to room temperature before you soak.
What I think: After too much sun, skin needs to be pampered. The perfect combo is to use the After Sun Healing Bath, then the Healing Remedy. They leave my skin soothed and fresh. Great for after a day at the water park or lake, whenever you get too much sun!
