When it comes to my face makeup I prefer light coverage. I’m a long time fan of BB creams and tinted moisturizer and over the years (and all the PR goodies I get sent) I’ve found a few favorites I keep on rotation. I know summer is ending soon, but these products can be worn all year round. Let’s break them down…

Aside from the essentials (sunscreen, towel, hat, glasses) I throw in a travel size conditioner to dab on my ends so they don’t dry out. I also love doing this after I swim.

Since Memorial Day was the unofficial kickoff of summer, I thought I’d give you the low down on a few of my favorite summer products! If you’re anything like me you’ll be spending a fair amount of time in the sun this summer and you want to protect and preserve your skin.  Both of these products are fantastic and I plan on stocking up so I don’t ruin my summer by running out.
