I live in Florida, and one of the most important things to do during summer here is hydrate and moisturize. You can do this by drinking lots of fluids (like my favorite passion iced tea), but to get your skin over the hump, I recommend the REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream. I got this as a sample in my May ipsy bag, and I love it. It's a super light moisturizer with a scent like lemons and fresh cut grass. I wear it under my makeup, or just to give my skin a boost on my no makeup days, and it's so light that I can still keep my cool in the Sunshine State.
As some of you may know, Celiac disease runs in my family. It's an autoimmune disorder that causes the body to attack itself when you ingest wheat and oats. While there is no cure, Celiac can be managed by keeping to a gluten-free diet, but what most people don't realize is that keeping your cosmetics gluten-free is just as important as avoiding bread and pasta. Think about it: you swallow a bit of your lipstick every time you eat or drink, and if it isn't GF, you can wind up feeling like you have the flu for the rest of the day. I recently discovered that Tarte Cosmetics makes excellent gluten-free lipsticks which are rich, hydrating, and buttery, not to mention super cute! I have one in the color Tulip and one in Park Avenue Princess, and I find myself reaching for them most often when I want an extra pop of color in my day.
