BEAUTY AND THE ‘BURBS

BEACH READY AND BEAUTIFULLY BRONZED

By Kristin Favaloro

Summertime skincare and makeup is all about being bronzy, beach ready and hydrated. These products are perfect for traveling to the beach, or just to your backyard! From a great blow out and manicure to the perfect summertime scents, I have you covered for when the weather heats up.

THE POLISHED PUB

For an Instagram worthy experience, head to this beautiful blow out bar for their signature “Headicure,” which is a fabulous blow out while simultaneously getting a manicure. They only use the best products, including Oribe haircare, which is one of my favorites. Located at 40 Park Ave., Park Ridge.

Body Drench Quick Tan Instant Self-Tanner

I discovered this product and now I can’t live without it. It is an instant self-tanner, but it gradually gets deeper. I love using this when I don’t have time for a full self-tan session. Just spray on wait a few minutes and you are good to go. Available at Amazon.com.

Dr. Dennis Gross All-Physical Light weight Wrinkle Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30

Address visible signs of aging and enjoy weightless daily hydration with this ultra-sheer, fragrance-free sunscreen. Perfect for all skin tones. It is one of my favorites all year long. Available at Sephora.com.

Tower 28 Shine On Milky Lip Jelly Gloss

These juicy glosses are perfect for summertime to give you tons of shine and moisture without over doing it. I love the shade range for the perfect lip tint. Available at Sephora.com.

Mix:Bar Scents

I discovered this brand of hair and body fragrances at Target, and I am hooked. For only about $9, you can get the perfect light scent for those hot summer days. I love Coconut Palm for a day at the beach. Available at Target.com.

Ouai St. Barts Scalp & Body Scrub

Summer skin is dry skin so I love to exfoliate a lot during this time of the year with this scrub. This can also be used as a scalp scrub, which really detoxes and cleans the scalp. The limited-edition St. Barts scent smells like summertime. Available at Theouai.

Olaplex NO. 8 Hair Mask

One of my favorite hair care brands has come out with the best hair mask. It’s especially great during the summer when our hair is exposed to lots of sun, the ocean and the pool. This mask moisturizes and adds body and shine. Available at Bluemercury, Closter.

Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Creme Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo

One of my obsessions is bronzer and this duo is by far one of the best. I love that it comes with a cream for contouring and a powder to finish the look. Available at Sephora.com.

Perfect for the warmer months, this cream blush gives the perfect dewy fresh glow to your skin and it can also be used on your lips so it is perfect for traveling. Available at Sephora.com.
