Did you know that our skin is our biggest organ? Don’t neglect it! Skin protects everything inside our bodies and it deserves just as much attention as any other part of our health. We tend to pay more attention to our skin when gearing up for the summer months. Whether it’s achieving the perfect tan, finding the right light weight moisturizer, or keeping our legs prepped for short shorts, summer means it’s time to bare it all. And let’s not forget our hair! It’s important to deep condition that chlorine-damaged hair and to keep up on trims to cut off dry ends; the sun can damage and age our hair just as easily as it can our skin. There’s a lot of prep work when it comes to flaunting what we’ve got. We’ve put together a guide full of our favorite products guaranteed to exfoliate, moisturize, and provide that perfect golden hue all summer long.
