My Summer Beauty Secrets…

Reading Time: 4 minutes

I’m not in the business of gatekeeping, especially when it comes to beauty products or tools, so today I’m sharing my summer beauty secrets. I’m not entirely sure how or why anyone would want to keep their beauty regime a secret. When I find something I absolutely love, you can bet that I’ll be sharing my new and exciting news with my mom, a friend or posting about it right here on on my little corner of the internet. This in turn is why I felt the need to dedicate a blog post to the summer beauty products I’ve been using on repeat. Below you’ll find a selection of hair, skincare and makeup that have been making me feel my best by far this summer.

HAIR

FRAMAR Professional Wet Hair Brush

I recently needed to replace my hair brushes. I purchased the same Framar detangling hairbrush I'd been using for ages, and then added this one to cart as well. What might surprise you most is that I no longer own a round brush! I've decided to completely stay away from drying my hair with a round brush, and instead rely solely on my Dyson to dry my hair beautifully. Between blow-outs, I regularly brush my hair. This really is the ultimate tool for achieving salon-like hair right at home! It has incredible high-quality bristles, that give an amazing massage to your scalp, and you never have to worry about pulling or damaging strands while detangling your hair. It simply leaves your hair looking smooth and shiny. This fantastic brush has quickly become a summer beauty must have in my books.

Davines Naturaltech Nourishing Keratin Sealer

This sealer strengthens, restores and protects your hair from environmental stressors and damage. It's a go to summer beauty staple, especially this year with all the wild fire smoke that has been drifting into Toronto. I've been sure to spray this on my tresses before blow drying. It uses Keratin and Hydrolized Keratin proteins, innovative moisture-retention technology, Siamese Basil and Apple Stem Cell extracts to revitalize and nourish hair from root to tip. It's so easy to use; just apply to damp hair, comb through and style as desired. Suitable for all types of hair, including chemically treated or colored hair, the formula is lightweight. After using it, your hair will be healthier, shinier, smoother and smell fantastic.

Skincare

Dr. Scholl's Ultra Exfoliating Foot Cream

This is a powerful foot care solution that helps to deeply exfoliate and hydrate dry, rough feet. It's formulated with natural exfoliating agents like pumice and lactic acid, helping to remove dead skin cells and leaves your feet feeling soft and smooth. Enriched with shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E, this foot cream nourishes your skin, providing long-lasting hydration and relief from dryness and itchiness. This has quickly become part of my nightly routine. I simply apply to feet and then slip into comfortable socks to help with absorption. It has a light and non-greasy texture, is easy to apply and absorbs quickly.

Dr. Scholl's Ultra Exfoliating Foot Mask

These masks soften and smooth rough, dry and calloused feet. Infused with natural ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids, urea, and tea tree oil, it removes dead skin cells, revealing healthier skin. Its specially designed booties lock in the rich formula so it can penetrate deeply for maximum effect. It provides visible results in just one application and is ideal for all skin types. Results will be visible in 1-2 weeks as the process of exfoliating takes time.

Make-Up

Laura Mercier | Secret Camouflage Correct and Brighten Concealer Duo Stick

The Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo Stick offers two shades that work together to conceal imperfections for a flawless, radiant complexion. It's been my go-to for the past month and a complete God send as I've been living with adult acne for the past 6 months. The corrector shade cancels out discoloration, and the brightening shade illuminates the skin for a healthy glow. I find the concealer stick blends seamlessly into skin without creasing.
