POND’s
Summer is here full throttle! If you did not prepare, now is the time. When it comes to packing your beauty bag for a beach, there are a few items you should be sure to pack. Here are a few of my favorite beauty and care products that stay in my beauty bag all summer long.

Pond’s Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 $9.99
By now, we should all know that moisturizing and sunscreen is the most important thing for our skin, especially when sitting out in the sun. Pond’s, Clarant B3 Even Skin Tone and Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30, is already my new favorite. Pond’s added these facial moisturizers to their line of skincare products earlier this year. For me, the Clarant B3 Even Skin Tone is the perfect lightweight, hydrating, moisturizer with SPF as a bonus. When it’s hot and humid, the last thing I want to do is layer creams all over my face. Pond’s Daily Facial Moisturizers are a one-stop shop when it comes to keeping your skin hydrated and protecting it from sun damage.

St. Ives Face Mist $5.99
Facial Mists and sprays have been a trend for a while now and come in handy on the go. St. Ives released their new Face Mist sprays earlier this year. Zing Face Mist Energizing Orange, YAAAS Face Mist Happy Grapefruit and Ohmmm Face Mist Relaxing Lavender are the three scents available. St. Ives Face Mist leaves the skin hydrated with each scent offering its aroma therapy. Lavender is one of my favorite scents, so I’m always spritzing Ohmmm Face Mist, especially when my skin needs an extra hydration boost.

Love AnyBody Anti-Chafe Stick $8.99
It’s true, thick thighs save lives, but they also chafe. Chafing isn’t fun for anyone, but with Love Anybody’s anti-chafe stick there’s one less thing to stress over. When it’s hot, and you want to throw on some cute shorts or walk around in your bathing suit, this anti-chafe stick is A MUST! I would even go as far as saying it’s as essential as sunscreen. Let’s be real chafing happens to people of all shapes and sizes and it can get painful. The Love Anybody anti-chafe should be in everyone’s beach bag.

Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant $9.99
Deodorant should be used all year round but we all know during the summer months deodorant is imperative. Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant is the perfect beach day deodorant. For some of us, certain chemicals like aluminum, proplyene glycol, and artifical fragrances can irritate the skin. Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant’s are vegan, gluten free, cruetly free, no aluminum, proplyene glycol,and artifcial fragrances. While some natural aren’t always effective Schmidt’s deodorants work to neautralize odors and are safe enough to be used by anyone.
Caress Body Wash
My favorite part of the morning is taking a warm shower. I cherish those few moments of calm before my day begins. I’m always on the lookout for gentle body washes that can help start my skin off on the right note.
I recently tried out the Caress Body Wash Collection and fell in love with how great everything smells. My favorites were the Sheer Twilight Body Wash and Daily Silk Body Wash. The Sheer Twilight Body Wash is bold and mysterious with black orchid and notes of golden amber, dark woods, and exotic fruits. While the Daily Silk Body Wash is more delicate and sweet with notes of orange blossom and white peach. The Tahitian Renewal Body Wash contains hints of pomegranate and coconut, while the Pure Embrace Body Wash contains almond oil and white flower extracts.
The key ingredient in the washes is Caress’ unique Floral Fusion Oils. The Oils allow for the scents to last longer than traditional formulas. The washes are gentle but strong and the scent lingered on my skin all day.
POND’S Cold Cream Cleanser
This brought back memories for my mom. When she opened the jar, she smiled; she said she could smell her childhood.
This was my first time trying the POND’s Cold Cream Cleanser. I opened the jar and it smelled amazing. I was hesitant to try such a rich moisturizing deep cleaner but I was left pleasantly surprised. The cream removed all of my makeup without leaving it dry or super greasy. Part cleaner, part moisturizer, it left my skin super soft and clean.
I guess my mom was right, yet again.
POND’s MoistureClean Towelettes
On the go? Stash these in your work bag, your gym bag, and anywhere and everywhere else. The POND’s MoistureClean Towelettes are infused with none other than POND’s Cold Cream
Technology. I have a pack beside my bed for days when I’m too lazy to get out of bed to take my makeup off.
There are four different kinds of towelettes, each with their own unique benefits. The Evening Soothe MoistureClean Towelettes contain White Tea Extract, which is known for it’s anti-aging benefits. The Luminous Clean MoistureClean Towelettes contain Kaolin clay, which brightens dull skin and pulls out impurities. The Exfoliating Renewal MoistureClean Towelettes gets rid of dry skin. The Original Fresh MoistureClean Towelettes are infused with vitamin E and a triple antioxidant complex.
While makeup wipes are super convenient, they can also be a huge waste of money and product if the package isn’t sealed correctly after each use. I love that the packaging for the POND’s Towelettes come with an easy to close tab that has a great adhesive, preventing the towelettes from drying out.
