Fun in the Sun: My Top Five Must-Haves for Summer

We just celebrated Memorial Day, so do you know what time it is???? SUMMER!!!! Well, not technically, but the Memorial Day weekend definitely sets the pace for the unofficial start to summer. To look and feel your best and to age well, try my top five must-haves for summer.

Quite Naturally

I think it goes without saying that you need LOTS of sunscreen for the season. I get to cheat on this one and add it as a category instead of a product because I have several favorites. Yes, these products will help you to age well, but most importantly, it reduces your risk of skin cancer.

For my facial sunscreen, without a doubt, I absolutely love the DEFY Multi-Performance Age Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50. Oh my gosh, what a long name, right? But it is so powerful. As you can detect by the name, it is so much more than a sunscreen. If you want skin that looks up to ten years younger, this is the product line you want to use. In addition, you will have radiant and soft skin. And if that is not enough, do note that this solar protector aids as a barrier to the blue light that is emitted from your computer, tablet, laptop, or phone from which you are reading this article.

To safeguard the rest of me, I use the Body Protector Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+. There are other choices, too. All are free from oxybenzone and octinoxate. They are also water resistant for up to 40 minutes, contain skin care benefits, and are oil-free. Along with these, notice the broad spectrum feature, which means it protects from UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared.

On the rare occasion that I go without foundation, the Tinted Face Protector Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ is a favorite choice. I love the color match technology which creates a sheer, natural look.

Pre-Makeup

After the sunscreen, I follow it up with the ROYAL Hydrating Radiance Primer, even if I do not wear makeup. The lightweight formula smooths the look of pores, dryness and uneven texture. As well as that, the primer controls my oil. Besides these features, you will love how it creates a silky-smooth canvas for flawless makeup application or the ideal base for a bare-faced beauty look.

Lip Care

If you have experienced the Royal Jelly Berry Powerful Lip Care, then enough said. If you have not tried it yet, you are in for a treat. It is the best lip balm ever! You may think you would find this in the makeup section, but you would be wrong. It is actually a skin care product that softens, repairs, moisturizes, and nourishes the lips with royal jelly and antioxidants.

It is really more of a lip conditioner than lip balm. The buttery texture sweetened with berries will have you coming back for more. Caution. Do not leave this product in the sun. If you want really smooth lips, ask me about my lip bundle. The Lip Care can be used with or without lipstick.

Go For the Glow

Would you like an incredibly hydrated and nourished skin? Go for the Royal Almond Bundle. It includes the most hydrating hand and body wash, a rich body oil that keeps your body glowing, and a moisturizing lotion that leaves the body velvety smooth. All are enriched with vitamin E, sweet almond oil, and cherry extract. The best part about the bundle, besides the awesome scent and conditioned skin, is the awesome savings.

Spritz and Go

Once I have my face, lips, and body set, there is only one thing left to do. Spritz my favorite fragrance. It may be last, but certainly not least. I use Jafra fragrances because we do actually have the best made from the top perfume houses and top perfumers around the world. In the summer, my favorite one to wear is Gardenia Blossom EDP. It is a charming/romantic perfume made with the notes of green apple, hand harvested gardenia from South India, and warm notes of amber. It is a wonderful, light-weight spring and summer time scent.
