As it starts to move more into fall-like weather and gets colder, I feel more and more in denial about losing my tan and losing those summery days.  In the colder months, your skin fades, your hair loses it's highlights, and things can begin to lose their glow. So, I figured I'd put a few products together on how to keep that summery look even during those not-so-warm months. Here are a few of my summer favorites that I plan on using to keep my summer glow. Hope you enjoy!

Self-Tanner: 

My favorite self-tanner is from the brand St. Tropez. 

There tanners give such a natural tanned look and don't 

leave your skin looking orange. Also they are easy to 

apply and don't leave your skin streaky; the applicator mitt 

helps to give a smooth and even application while 

preventing your hands from turning brown from the self-

tanner. I prefer to use either the tanning lotion or 

mouse, but any of their products are good to use to 

achieve a summery glow.




Texturizing Sprays:

Now I have two really good texturizing sprays

that will help to give you those gorgeous beachy

waves. The first is from bumble and bumble.

Now I know it's a bit pricey but this spray will

last you for a long time and is just so great. You

spritz a bit of this into the lower ends of your hair

and then, with your fingers, just crunch your hair

upwards.



The second texturizing spray is from Oribe. This

spray is great because it is a mix between a dry

shampoo and a volumizing spray. During the

winter months, hair tends to get flat and dull and

this spray helps to give a luscious, voluminous

look to your hair. Same as the B&B spray, you

simply spray some of the product on dry hair for

instant volume. Also since this spray is part dry

shampoo, it will control oils in your hair so your

hair doesn't look greasy or flat. This spray is great

for messy updos or hair down.




Bronzer:

An easy way to keep that summery glow is by using

bronzers. One of my favorite is the Guerlain Terracotta

Bronzing Powder. It is more brown based than orange

based, and provides a nice flush of bronze to your face,

giving a nice natural tanned look. Any of the bronzers

from Guerlain are great, but I like this one because it is

simple and has a pinch of shimmer to it to really give a

dewey glow to your skin. A slightly less expensive option

is the bronzers from Bobbi Brown or Too Faced.





Hair Oil:

The Damage Reverse Instant Restorative Hair Serum is one of

my favorite hair oils. During the summertime hair is exposed

to the sun, salt water, and chlorine, all of which can cause

damage to hair and cause split ends. This oil from Ojon

prevents future breakage while repairing past damage. In

addition, it gives hair a healthy shine and makes hair sleek and

smooth.






Until next time,
