Ahhh summer means fun in the sun, sand and water. But your skin can take a toll with the summer elements. What are some of best skin products you need this summer to keep your skin protected, healthy and hydrated?
Here are some of the skin products you need this summer, to keep your skin glowing!
Skin Products you Need this Summer
Dermalogica Redness Relief Primer SPF 20
I used the Dermalogica Redness Relief Primer SPF20 while in Florida while on vacation. Even though I used sunscreen, my face became red from the sun, and I noticed that the relief primer toned down the redness. Wear it under your make-up as it acts as a good primer and helps reduce redness instantly, thanks to the greenish tone of the primer. It helps to balance skin tone with natural green botanical extracts. Velvety silicones smooth the skin and strengthen barrier protection while physical sunscreen shields the skin from irritating UV rays. Dermalogica.ca
Mustela Sun Protection
Who doesn’t love the sun? The truth is, about half as thick as your own, baby’s skin is more sensitive and much more vulnerable to UV rays. And sunburn is not the only consequence of excessive exposure: over time, the sun can also cause cell damage that permanently weakens the skin.
It’s important to minimize exposure and to protect your baby’s skin with a good sunscreen. Safe for babies (and adults), the new Mustela Sun Protection products protect your baby effectively against UVAs and UVBs, while respecting the delicate skin. The 100% organic-mineral sunscreen systems are enriched with a complex of patented active ingredients of natural origin and vitamin E.
What’s great is that product’s white colour makes it easy to see whether any area needing protection has been forgotten. The suncreen stick is perfect to use on squirmy little faces – I’m able to quickly apply sunscreen on my boys forehead, around the nose and mouth and behind the ears. It goes on thick so you can take comfort in knowing they have good protection.
- Broad spectrum SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen stick
- Broad spectrum SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen lotion
- After Sun Spray
Available in pharmacies throughout Canada. Mustela.ca.

Live Clean Fresh Face
Live Clean Fresh Face has three new additions to their collection:
- Hydrating Creamy Cleanser
- 24 Hour Hydrating Day Cream
- Refreshing Facial Wipes
All products have Botanical Orchid-C Complex, a powerful combination of Orchid, Vitamin C and Certified Organic Botanicals. Orchid extract seals in moisture and replenishes skin’s moisture barrier, while antioxidant Vitamin C protects and boosts radiance. With unique combination of Certified Organic Botanicals to Calme/Soothe: Lavender, Cucumber, Chamomile, Milk Thistle, Mallow, Aloe and Buckthorn.
The Creamy Cleanser is good for normal to dry skin, gently cleanses the skin of impurities, oil and make-up without stripping the skin of moisture, and contains Kaolin Clay to cleanse deep into the pores. The 24 Hour Hydrating Day Cream is non-greasy and gives your skin nourishment all day long. The Refreshing Wipes help gently remove excess oil and makeup. These are perfect for travelling, when you need a quick refresher, or my favourite – when I’m too lazy to do a proper skin cleaning at the end of the day but want to quickly remove makeup and go to sleep!
Another fabulous Live Clean product perfect for summer is the Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo. If your hair becomes oily in the summer, and you’re using anti-frizz products to tame your hair, this shampoo will help cleanse your hair of those hair products. Apple cider vinegar has antiseptic and astringent qualities, to help break down product build-up on your hair – without stripping the hair. Use it daily for oily hair and weekly for normal to dry hair.
Find Live Clean at Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, Target, Loblaws stores, Rexall and Well.ca.
