Spring cleaning isn't limited to revamping your wardrobe. Transitioning your beauty products from winter to warmer weather months is essential for keeping your skin properly hydrated, color palette in check, and hair ready to fight St. Louis' relentless humidity. Here's a quick guide to must-have spring/summer beauty products.
Out the Oil
A change in temperature can often lead to oilier skin. Fight it with Korres' Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizer. It has mattifying properties that keep even the oiliest skin in balance. It's a lightweight moisturizer with a cream-gel texture that works to minimize pores, soften skin, and keep excessive oil production a problem of the past.
Nail It
With Easter around the corner, I couldn't be more excited to embrace the Easter egg nail polish trend. Hues of pastel pink, green, blue, and coral work well with almost every complexion and effortlessly transition your nail palette from winter to summer. I love Ciate's Ferris Wheel, a pale shade of blue reminiscent of Essie's Mint Candy Apple, but with a bluer finish. A gorgeous color and totally on-trend, Ferris Wheel is a must-have this season.
Playful Pink
I'm all about bright and bold lip colors, especially in the spring and summer. But when I found this semi-sheer, bright pink lip color, I knew I had found my go-to color this season. Nars' Roman Holiday is a great day color, especially for those who love to rock a bright lip 'round the clock. It's sheer enough that it won't leave your lips shockingly pink during the day, yet will definitely highlight day and night-time makeup.
Free of Frizz
It's no secret one of the biggest warm-weather beauty problems St. Louis women (and men) face is the unrelenting humidity. Fix frizz from the beginning of your daily routine with Alterna's Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo. It works to keep hair moisturized and protected and is free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates—but don't stop there. Alterna's entire Caviar line works to keep your locks protected from humidity, environmental toxins, and leaves you with shinier, healthier hair all year round.
