I am a simple girl. I like to air-dry my hair, my version of fancy self-care is a 5-minute face mask, and my outfit of choice involves my favorite pair of yoga pants. So, an overly involved skin regimen that includes tons of products with ingredients I can’t pronounce? No, thank you; not for me.
When my friend, Taylor introduced me to Beauty Counter, it didn’t take me long to be hooked. Everything is made of real, organic ingredients and they deliver real results. Plus, I can easily fit it all into my busy, simple, healthy lifestyle.
Did you know that many serious health conditions can be traced back to harmful chemicals we are exposed to everyday, many of which are in our personal care products? Yikes! That’s why Beauty Counter was started: to introduce safe, effective products we can feel good about putting on our bodies.
This summer, the name of the game is hydration. Being in Pensacola, I’ll spend any extra time I can at the beach or by the pool, but that also means I’m prone to dry, overexposed skin. Because I want to protect my skin as I get older, I’m committing to hydrating daily to keep things looking youthful!
I also like to condense my make-up routine in the summer since I have more color and I’ll probably sweat it all off anyway. Tinted moisturizer is my all-time favorite product and Beauty Counter has some of the best I’ve ever used. A little bit of this, some bright lip balm and a good mascara can go a long way on a hot summer day.
My simple summer skin routine for ultra-moisturized skin:
- Cleanse. The BC cleansing balm is the balm (get it? Ha!). It’s a make-up remover, cleanser, and mask all in one. It’s gentle, effective, and I couldn’t love it more.
- Moisturize. The BC Countermatch Adaptive Moisturizer provides 24-hours of hydration, and it actually adjusts the hydration levels in your skin. It’s lightweight for summer and feels so good on your skin.
- SPF. I love the entire BC Countersun mineral sunscreen line. I use it all over myself, and even on Piper’s delicate skin.
- Tint and hydrate. I didn’t know I could love a tinted moisturizer as much as I love the Dew Skin Moisturizing Coverage. It’s packed with SPF, vitamins, and flower extracts to provide beautifully light coverage with benefits.
Bonus: don’t forget the rest of your skin! Beauty Counter’s Countermatch Adaptive Body Moisturizer, body oil in citrus rosemary, and Glow Shimmer Oil are all amazing. The shimmer oil is so good for a bronze boost after all the SPF I slather on.
I’ve teamed up with Taylor Berkowitz to host a Beauty Counter pop-up shop. Now through May 10th, 10% of proceeds from the pop-up shop sales will benefit Gulf Coast Kid’s House, a private, not-for-profit organization that provides services to victims of child abuse in Escambia County, Florida. The Gulf Coast Kid’s House has a huge place in my heart and was there for me during a very dark time in my life (more on this to come in a future post).
This summer, I’m looking forward to beautiful, youthful, and healthy skin thanks to my new favorite finds from Beauty Counter.
Join our pop-up shop and let me know what products you’re most excited to try!
