Every issue, we give you the lowdown on fabulous fragrances and luxurious products, beauty must-haves and everything in between
GET GLOWING
We all know that a real tan is a no-no these days. But you can safely fake a sun-kissed glow with the Lilah B. Bronzed Beauty Bronzer Duo ($42). Highlight with the lighter shade, contour and define with the darker shade, or mix the two for a natural, “I spent the day at the beach” look. It can also be used as an eyeshadow for even more bronzy radiance. Ingredients like coconut oil, aloe and agar give the bronzer a silky texture and help soothe and hydrate the skin. Pick up the bronzer duo and other Lilah B. products at Sephora at Coconut Point in Estero (239-390-9889, sephora.com) or the Sephora inside JC Penney stores at Gulf Coast Town Center (239-481-2844) and Edison Mall (239-936-8101) in Fort Myers.
SAY BYE-BYE TO BODY BREAKOUTS
It can get hot and sweaty here, which means you, unfortunately, might find yourself battling body blemishes. Get some help from AcneFree Body Clearing Acne Spray ($11.15). It’s formulated with 2 percent salicylic acid, an oil-soluble, beta-hydroxy-acid that penetrates pores to remove sebum, which can clog them up and lead to breakouts. The continuous spray makes for easy application, even on the back and other hard-to-reach places. The container can be stashed in your gym or beach bag for on-the-go use. Find the spray and other AcneFree products at area Walmart locations (walmart.com) and most local drugstores.
BEST FOOT FORWARD
It’s always sandal season here in Southwest Florida, so you don’t want cracked heels or parched feet to ruin your look. Smooth things out with Arm & Hammer’s new Foot Care Moisturizer + Gentle Exfoliators ($8.79), which includes alpha-hydroxy-acid exfoliators and hydrating coconut oil to moisturize and restore skin. Its convenient massaging brush makes for easy, no-mess application, and the nongreasy formula doesn’t leave any slippery residue behind. Plus, it’s mild enough for daily use, which means your feet will always be ready to show off a new pair of sandals. Find it at local CVS stores (cvs.com).
ONE AND DONE
If you don’t have time for a lot of different products in your life, check out Dionis Goat Milk Beauty Balm ($15). Flyaway hair, chapped lips, cracked cuticles—this trusty balm can handle it all. The 100 percent natural formulation includes its namesake ingredient plus shea butter, aloe and avocado butter to help moisturize, soothe and repair dry skin and other problem areas. It’s also great for highlighting cheekbones, browbones and other spots to help brighten up your face. You can find Dionis products at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store locations (crackerbarrel.com).
