When summer comes around so does a refresh in my beauty cabinet. In the winter months I focus on hydration and moisture, while in the summer I opt for lightweight products that pack big results without weighing me down. These are a few of my warm weather favorites that I’m constantly reaching for this year.
+ Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Radiance Lotion: My go-to face moisturizer used to be the Korres pomegranate cream, but since it’s been out of stock for months, the sales associate at Sephora recommended this one instead. I love how quickly this absorbs into my skin and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy or shiny. It’s also packed with Fresh’s Super 7 complex ingredients to fight aging, hydrate and brighten skin.
+ Kerastate Bain Chroma Captive Shampoo: I used to think that expensive shampoo wasn’t worth it until I tried this one by Kerastase. After using this my hair felt so much softer and shinier than I’m used to. It’s a little on the pricey side for shampoo, but a little goes a long way and it’s worth the investment if you color you hair.
+ Blow Pro Beach Spray: This is my favorite hair secret when I don’t feel like using heat products but still want some body in my hair. It won’t leave you with crunchy tousled waves like some I’ve tried. A few spritzes of this when you’re at the beach or fresh out of a shower and you’ll have natural looking waves in no time!
+ S-Factor Smoothing Conditioner: I use this in combination with the Kerastate and get the best results. It helps fight frizz and flyways while keeping strands soft. Not to mention it smells amazing! tip: keep an eye out at your tjmaxx/marshalls as I’ve scored it for around $15 there.

I’m using the same Kerastase shampoo this summer. It’s pricey, but it really does last foreverrr. I need to get my hands on some of that beach spray — I’m so over “wave” sprays that leave my hair feeling gross and stiff.
Happy Monday, Ashley!
I’m going to have to try that blow pro beach spray. I’ve always used bumble and bumble salt spray but i’m running out and interested in trying something new!
I’m seriously obsessed with the Coola stuff! I’m going to need to try the mimosa SPF. I have their after sun cream and it’s amazing! I’m definitely going to have to try that Blow Pro Beach Spray too. Although my hair is STICK straight so I don’t know if anything will put wave into it!

I’ve always wanted to have the beachy hair look but never knew how to do it so thanks for this post. My hair gets so frizzy in the heat so that’s my only issue but the S- Factor Conditioner sounds perfect for that.
Love all of these picks, I am always looking for new beauty products. I use a spray by blow pro before I blow dry my hair and I have loved it, so I will have to check out this beach spray.
I know that some people might not agree, but I have found that nice shampoo and conditioner are totally worth the splurge!
I’ve gotta try that blow pro beach spray! Sounds perfect.
