During the warm summer months, I find myself literally melting. I do not have air conditioning in my home (except for a window unit in my bedroom, but I don’t spend my day in there.) I am a person who wears makeup every day, and I needed to find products that I can use on these hot days that won’t melt off of my face. My skin gets so oily in the summertime that I look quite shiny if I am not using the proper skin care products as well as cosmetics. I rely on products that will stay in place and keep me looking my best with out having to mess around and reapply.
Since I have found some amazing products that I swear by to look fresh and gorgeous all day long, I would like to share my favorite finds with you!
Earth Science – Clarifying Facial Wash Oily/Combination Skin 8 fl oz
I start out every day with a clarifying cleanser, to strip my face of any oils that are left over from my nightly facial creams that are still on my face from the night before. It leaves my skin oil free, yet it does not feel dry because it contains Aloe Vera and extracts of Cucumber, Sea Kelp, Birch Bark and Lavender.
