SHED YOUR SKIN
Is your skin in need of a little pick-me-up? Maybe it’s time to exfoliate. Taking that rejuvenating step tones and evens out your skin and helps your moisturizer absorb better. Treets Traditions has a variety of scrubs for whatever your needs might be. For dry skin desperate for some nourishment and moisturization, try the Relaxing Chakra’s Body Scrub ($20), which incorporates Asian coconut oil and rose, or the Nourishing Spirits Shea Butter Scrub ($25), which includes baobab oil. The Energising Secrets Body Sugar Scrub ($20) soothes skin with the help of Amazonian tamanu and sacha inchi oil.

NEXT-LEVEL MAKEUP
You don’t need to work with a makeup artist to get an Instagram-worthy look.

I'LL DRINK TO THAT
In the mood for a beer? Add some suds to your shower with the new Bröö Craft Beer Bar Shampoos ($5.99). Infused with craft beer, they feature stress-reducing massage nubs and can be used to clean hair, body, face or beard. The energizing formulation includes caffeine to stimulate the skin and green coffee extract to “wake up” hair follicles. The hydrating bar moisturizes with the help of coconut oil, and neither bar contains any harmful chemicals. Also new from the line: Bröö Moods Aromatherapy Lotions ($7.49). Made with barley, hops and shea butter, they nourish and soothe dull, dry skin. There’s a lavender scent to encourage sleep, a sage fragrance to help you unplug and feel calm and an energizing bergamot scent. Find all of these new Bröö products at local Walmart stores.
IN THE SWIM
Spending the day by the pool or at the beach doesn’t mean you have to skip your makeup routine. You just need makeup that won’t turn into a drippy mess. Cargo Cosmetics’ Swimmables collection features an array of waterproof blushes, bronzers, eye pencils, eyeshadow sticks, lip pencils, liquid lipsticks and even a mascara topcoat that can transform any mascara into a sweatproof, waterproof version. New additions to the collection include the Longwear Foundation ($34), a weightless formulation that melts into skin for buildable coverage; and the Longwear Brow Pencil ($20), which features a slanted tip on one end to create the perfect arch and a spoolie brush on the other end to comb product through for a natural look.
