When we talk about taking care of our skin, most of that focus is on the face but it’s also important to take care of the skin on our body. Below are my essentials for taking care of the skin on my body during the summer.

Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair I love to wear foot masks during the winter to keep the skin on my feet soft but they do make my feet peel, so I don’t like to use them in the summer. This foot treatment is my go-to for keeping my feet soft in the summer months but doesn’t make my feet peel.

La Roche-Posay Thermal Water Spray This is great to have on hand if you’re going to be outside all day. It feels very cooling on the skin.

Aloe Vera Gel While I like to use the thermal spray while I’m in the sun, I like to use aloe vera gel after I’m out of the sun. I’m pretty careful about sun protection so I never get sunburned but it’s still nice to use aloe vera gel after my skin has been exposed to the sun all day.

Sunscreen This is my favorite sunscreen for the body. I love that it’s not just sunscreen but also hydrating. It doesn’t leave a white cast and doesn’t feel sticky.

Hemp Bronzing Lotion I know fast acting self tanners have become very popular over the years but I’m still a fan of gradual tanners. Gradual tanners give a more natural look and they also fade naturally just like a real suntan would, as opposed to the blotchy fading of a self tanner. I love this one because it doesn’t look orange but just enhances my olive skin tone.
