Summer glow skincare tips
In the changing season our skincare routine needs to change up just a little as well. Getting to experiment and try out new things is what I am all about and I want to share some of my favorite skin care products for the summer. I find these may be best for oily to combination skin.
Beautiful summer glows start with cleansed skin. I am currently using Mary Kay’s Time Wise cleanser. In the summer, having oily skin, the oil glands can tend to feel like they are producing more oil. Time Wise is lightweight, creamy cleanser that helps to really slow down the oil production.
Moisturize!! Especially here in the summer months. If oily skin can get oilier then sometimes dry skin can get even dryer. No matter which skin type you have, moisturizer is what really balances out the over all look and feel of your skin. I currently use two moisturizers, and one facial oil, each one serves a different purpose. Seba Med is one I like to use to help slow down my oil and clear my skin of acne. The other is my Mad Hippie Face Cream. This one is my anti aging go to moisturizer. I use my Seba Med first let it dry then put my Mad Hippie on.
After we moisturize we cant forget to show the peepers some love. Goldfaden MD’s eye cream has been my eye opener. I use my ring finger and apply on the eye socket rather than directly under the eye.
Skincare is very important but beautiful skin starts on the inside. Healthy eating, and drinking plenty of water is the number one factor to beautiful glowing skin. Below I have compiled all these in a video which I have posted below. “I hope you enjoy and for some healthy eating check out ALOHA for some at home healthy recipes” Be sure to bookmark these!

DIY apple cinnamon lip balm
I loved lip balm when I was younger. I can remember every time my mom and I went to the store I always begged my mom to let me go and look at the lip balm. Although every tube my mom ever got me ended up getting lost or used up very quickly. Now here I am 24 years and still have a love for lip balm but can now do it at home. Below I found this recipe (courtesy of DIY Lip Balms) for an at home DIY Apple Cinnamon Lip Balm. All I can say is yummy!
Apples and cinnamon
Things you will need: 1 tablespoon beeswax, grated or pellets 2 tablespoons jojoba oil ½ tablespoon aloe vera oil 4 drops pure cinnamon essential oil 4 drops of apple essential oil 2 drops of vanilla essential oil
Step-by-Step Instructions: Place saucepan onto stove Turn on to low heat Add the grated beeswax or beeswax pellets to a saucepan Ensure that the wax melts evenly and does not stick to the sides of the pan.
