Summer beauty essentials

Let's face it ladies and gents....we're not getting any younger. It's inevitable. But...there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to age gracefully with wisdom, poise and, yes, a bit of anti-aging cream.

I noticed my first grey hair my sophomore year in college, and true to form, the old adage came true. Pick one out, and three will replace it. Three became six, six became twelve and overnight, exponentially, my thirty-something head is now a gorgeous light brown with caramel highlights c/o my favorite stylist, Karen Sgroi. (Check her salon website out here.)

So to get ahead of father time, below is a small list of summer essentials to help you keep your skin youthful and glowing and your hair color from fading during the sunny summer months.

I love sitting outside in the summer summer sun, but squinting equals wrinkles. My favorite sunglasses are these polarized ones from Ray Ban. These are my third pair. They wrap around my head just enough to keep out the sun.

And of course, don't forget sunscreen! This has been my go to this summer for my face. It was a great find. Non greasy, ultra light and fragrance free..

 

And I am unfortunately prone to the dreaded cold-sore. I can't live without a good lip balm with SPF. This Nivea lip balm in a Kiss of Smoothness with SPF 10 is a must in my bag.

 

 

 

And for that little extra protection from sunglare, I love this hat I found on Neccessaryclothing.com. It's perfect for a day on the beach!

 

 

Oh the little things that keep me smiling...and wrinkle free!

What are some of your summer essentials?
