Beach Beauty Essentials

BB creams are a relatively new product on the US market, but they have been a must have item for Asian women for years. BB cream or blemish balm was originally created by German doctors for patients who had laser skin treatments. Korean actresses started using this to achieve their perfect complexions and the trend spread all over Asia.
BB cream is best described as a mix between a foundation and a tinted moisturizer with some added benefits. While it gives great coverage like a foundation, it is light weight and moisturizing like a tinted moisturizer. BB cream also provides SPF coverage, skin brightening, wrinkle prevention, and blemish healing.
I personally like Skin 79 for BB cream, you can't find it in stores in the US, but you can get it for under ten dollars at amazon. I think this BB creams are perfect for summer because they give the coverage to make me feel confident, but I don't look like you have makeup caked on my face.


I first tried the Fresh lip treatments when I got them as my Beaty Insiders birthday gift from Sephora. They are by far the absolute best lip balm I have ever used. They have an SPF of 15, are ultra moisturizing, and comes in four fun shades. (They also have a clear one if you want to rock your natural lip color.) This is a must have in my beach bag so my lips stay soft and don't burn or get chapped by the sun. Plus, the cap screws on so you don't have to worry about sand getting in the product.

Whether you have color treated hair, heat damaged hair or you are lucky enough to not have these problems Redkin Color Extend Solar Sunscreen SPF12 will ensure that your hair stays shiny and healthy even after long days out in the sun. It helps prevent UV damage to both your scalp and hair, replenishes moisture and vibrancy, and helps to repair the hair cuticle.
