Happy Friday

Wishing you a very happy and safe 4th of July holiday weekend!

Hint Sunscreen SPF 30 Spray in Grapefruit, Pineapple and Pear

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Given that many of us will be spending our 4th of July weekend frolicking in the sun, I thought that I would share one of the newest sunscreens to have hit my desk recently. Hint, and yes this is the same people who make Hint Water, recently launched three wonderful SPF 30 sunscreen sprays. They come in three delectable scents, grapefruit, pear and pineapple, and they spray clear– leaving behind no white residue. This is a chemical, rather than mineral sunscreen, but it is free of oxybenzones or parabens. Furthermore, it is water resistant for 80 minutes– which is when you would be likely be reapplying it anyway (though I prefer to reapply every 60 minutes).

According to Hint,

Protecting your skin has never been so delightful. Introducing hint® sunscreen, a clear, continuous sunscreen mist made with the subtle natural fruit essences you love— grapefruit, pear, and pineapple. Try them all—you won’t be able to pick a favorite!

With broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection and easy 360° spray-on application, our hydrating, skin-quenching sunscreen is water resistant for 80 minutes. Employing Bag-on-Valve (BOV) technology, our innovative spray uses only compressed air, eliminating propellant chemicals, providing uniform coverage, and offering extra-fast drying time. Plus, it’s oxybenzone- and paraben-free—a delicious, radiant glow, delivered with only the good stuff.

Features:

• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection
• Subtly and deliciously scented with all-natural pineapple, grapefruit and pear essences
• 80 minutes of water resistance
• Free of oxybenzones or parabens
• BOV spray is free of skin-irritating propellant chemicals
• Easy 360° spray-on application provides uniform coverage and dries fast
• Can be applied to wet or dry skin
• Suitable for all skin types

Overall Assessment: I really like these three sunscreens a lot, and there is no doubt that we will finish up at least 1-2 of them before the summer ends!

Best Body Oils This Summer Courtesy of African Botanics

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I am nothing short of fanatical about my body oils, and given my penchant for them it should come as no surprise to you that my very favorite luxury body oils are made by African Botanics. They make three of them, and they are all exquisite. During the warm moths of the year, I can forgo any other moisturizer than these lovely oils, but I often use an additional body cream or body butter for even more luscious moisture.

Selecting a body oil that best suites your needs or desires is essential. The African Botanics Marula Firming Botanical Body Oil is the perfect choice if you want to lift and firm your skin, The African Botanics Stretchmark Botanical Oil is a perfect choice if you have stretchmarks, and the African Botanics Shimmering Gold Body Oil is a great choice if you are going out day or night and want a stunning ethereal glow.

African Botanics Marula Firming Botanical Body Oil ($90.00 for 3.4 oz. from African Botanics, Space NK US, Bloomingdale's, Credo Beauty, Beauty Bar, SkinStore.com, Dermstore, Net-A-Porter, SkinCareRX and Violet Grey): This is an antioxidant-rich moisturizing and firming oil that makes my skin look and feel utterly amazing. This is essentially an incredibly luxurious, potent and ultra moisturizing antioxidant rich anti-aging oil serum for the body. The idea is to treat your body as you do your face to keep it moisturized, dewy, radiant and protected all year long. This is my very favorite body oil because it does so much more than simply moisturize the skin, but it also does an extraordinary job moisturizing. My skin is left deeply hydrated, luminous, lifted, firmed, toned, and more soft and supple than I could have imagined possible.

Using Marula Firming Botanical Body Oil is an amazing sensory experience because the oil itself is luxuriously silky to the touch, and because the scent is an intoxicating blend of African Botanicals.

Treats:

• Loss of firmness and youthful density
• Dull, dry skin, uneven texture and tone
• Exposure to pollution, smoke and other environmental aggressors
• Stress, fatigue and jet lag

Suggested use: "To restore suppleness, elasticity and tone, apply AM/PM. Smooth onto damp skin after a shower or bath. Massage with upward circular movements until absorbed to obtain velvety skin, boost circulation and oxygenate skin. Enjoy a pleasant and intense feeling of relaxation and well-being. Suitable for all skin types. For best results, exfoliate with Marula Detoxifying Salt & Sugar Body Scrub 1-2 times per week."

Ingredients: Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula Seed Oil)**, Vitis Vinifera (Grape Seed Oil)**, Aspalathus linearis (Green Rooibos Tea extract), Cyclopia (Honeybush extract). **Certified Organic. Formulated without mineral oil, silicone, synthetic fragrances, parabens, PEGs, PPGs, DEA, TEA, urea or phthalates.

African Botanics Marula Stretchmark Botanical Body Oil ($105.00 for 3.58 fl. oz. from African Botanics, Violet Grey): While the perfect choice to treat and prevent stretchmarks or scars– it is likewise the ultimate collagen-boosting, antioxidant, vitamin, mineral and essential fatty-acid-rich moisturizer that leaves skin deeply nourished, hydrated, soft, supple, firm and lifted. It effectively prevents, and treats stretchmarks and scars, but generally firms, lifts and improves the texture of the skin. The benefits of this magical potion by far exceed treating stretchmarks and scars, but if you are pregnant and want to avoid getting stretchmarks, then you definitely want this body oil because it is both safe and unbelievably effective.

Among the key ingredients that account for its efficacy is the potent blend of cold-pressed oils, regenerating Grapefruit and Neroli that tone and regenerate, fast-absorbing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that nourish, firm and reduce the appearance of scars and stretchmarks. Furthermore, the highest quality Marula, Baobab and Avocado oils strengthen and nourish the skin while Rosa Mosqueta Oil reduces that appearance of stretch marks, and aids in their prevention in the first place.

This healing body oil is the perfect anti-aging choice for premature skin damage from overexposure to the sun, and it is a perfect choice to treat post-surgical scars. Furthermore, if you experience crepey skin or body acne, this delectable oil will improve the texture of the skin with remarkable efficacy.

Directions: Massage well with a firm circular motion into wet skin for best results. Best to wait until product is fully absorbed before dressing. Use daily. For stretchmarks, exfoliate area first and apply a few pumps every morning and evening.

Ingredients: Sclerocarya birrea (Marula Essential Oil)**, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot Kernel Oil), Persea Gratissima (Avocado Oil), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Rosa Mosqueta (Rosehip Seed Oil), Adansonia digitata (Baobab Oil)**, Citrus aurantium (Neroli Essential Oil), Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit Essential Oil). ** Certified Organic.

African Botanics Shimmering Gold Body Oil ($105.00 for 3.4 oz. from African Botanics): This is a magical antioxidant-rich and unbelievably nourishing and hydrating oil that can be used from head to toe. In the hair it offers conditioning and tames frizzies while adorning your tresses with a gorgeous golden luminosity. This delectable nourishing oil hydrates and smooths the skin while giving it the most gorgeous and refined shimmer. Skin is left luminous, soft, supple and utterly quenched. Of all of the shimmering oils that I have seen flood the market none compares to this one. It's perfect all year round, but it is the one to try this summer.  The subtle scent is an intoxicatingly delicious blend of Gardenia, Magnolia, Neroli and Vanilla Bean that is so delectable that I would wear it as a perfume given the chance.

Treats:

They leave skin gently, and yet thoroughly, cleansed and have the added benefit of leaving skin hydrated without a greasy residue.

The Apple Blossom aroma is a subtle and pleasant warm floral that adds a thin veil of scent that sits close to the skin.

According to Kneipp,

Kneipp Almond Blossom Soft Skin Body Lotion ($18.00 for 6.76 oz. from Kneipp, Dermstore and Skin Store): This is a heavier weight, and therefore more rich, formula than the Kneipp Almond Blossom Light-Weight Soft Skin Body Lotion.

The oil is lightweight, and it absorbs rather quickly when applied to warm, damp skin. Skin is left moisturized, soft, supple and radiant. There is no fragrance added to this natural oil, but one is able to detect a mild Rosehip aroma.
