Hello Lovelies!! Tons of people have asked me how I get my soft, smooth skin. Along with the proper skin care routine that I’ll be posting about in another post, I love exfoliating!! Exfoliating on a regular basis — once or twice a week for mild exfoliation, once or twice a month for more intense treatments — can improve the results of your skin care routine and help rejuvenate your skin. Whether you have dry, normal, oily or sensitive skin, exfoliation can bring new life to your complexion.

Here is a little info on my favorite scrubs for the whole body!

Lips: I absolutely love the Lush Mint Julips scrub because of how yummy it tastes! It makes my lips super soft and helps my lipsticks look smooth on. I always use lip balm as well to make sure my lips are moisturized. I recommend the Mint Lip Balm from Bloke!

Face: If you like the fresh smell of pear and zero dead skin in your face, then you need to try the Pear & Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher! Whenever my face feels dry and flaky, I use it and apply a moisturizer before I go to bed. The next day my face is as good as new. Make sure to find a salon that distributes it so you can get your own asap! (If in Utah, go to Calm Spa Boutique)

Body: My two favorite body scrub products are from Bloke and Calm Spa Boutique. The Bloke scrubs are all AMAZING! All scrubs help keep your skin smooth and moisturized but each of them have their own special trick. The Green Tea & Sea Salt Scrub gently fights blemishes and reduces redness & irritation caused by acne and other skin conditions. The Coffee Scrub stimulates blood flow and targets cellulite and stretch marks. And the Vanilla & Chai Sugar Scrub smells delicious and is perfect for any skin type. The raw brown sugar and sea salt exfoliate dead skin cells to keep your skin smooth and glowing.

Calm Spa Boutique Sugar Scrubs are handmade and blended perfectly to leave the skin moisturized and smooth. the gentle exfoliation helps remove the dead skin and works wonders for ingrown hairs. They smell AMAZING and they come in 6 different scents; Lemon Coconut, Lavender, Wild Orange, Grapefruit, Coconut Lime, and a custom scent of the month.

Have a wonderful Wednesday and enjoy your beautiful skin!

Skin Care While in the Sun

Everyone loves the sun, but no one loves what the sun does to our faces. Overtime, the sun’s ultraviolet rays damage certain fibers in the skin called elastin. The breakdown of these fibers causes the skin to sag, stretch, and lose the ability to snap back in place. The damaged skin also bruises/tears easier, and heals slower. When pregnant, our skin is much more sensitive; we become prone to hives, heat rashes, and chloasma (darkening of skin). Sun damage is not visible initially, but over time the effects become more and pronounced. That is why it’s so important to protect your skin now to prevent damage and premature aging.

Protect your skin by using a 30 spf or higher suncreen. I use two different kinds, the water proof Supergoop, for when I’m getting a workout, at the beach, or at the pool. And for my everyday use, I use the tinted Clarins. I love the tint because there are days when I only wear suncreen, and the tint makes me look like I’m wearing make-up. Both suncreens are lightweight and don’t clog pores (no breaking out!), you barely notice you have anything on your face. I also wear plenty of hats and sunglasses. The extra protection always helps! -Oh, and be sure to drink TONS of water.

Hope you find these tips useful on your next vacation! Stay beautiful and enjoy your Wednesday!
