Our Blog Summer essentials for 2019

It’s that time of year again. Long sun drenched days spent by the pool, at the beach or catching up with friends. Summer events are pouring in; public holidays, BBQs, festivals, the list goes on, and with all these events you want to be looking and feeling your best. We’ve got you covered with our best summer essentials for 2019.

Vegan sunscreen

You should be well aware by now of the importance in looking after your skin. UV rays during summer are at their peak, with midday to around 5pm being the worst time for UV rays and burning potential. During summer, make sure to apply natural sunscreen before leaving the house. Even 10 minutes in the sun can cause skin damage at peak times. We suggest using a natural sunscreen for face if you find regular sunscreen too greasy under your makeup. Wotnot Vegan Anti-aging Sunscreen and Primer is a three in one summer beauty essential. Combining anti-wrinkle and anti-aging ingredients with natural antioxidants and skin smoothing nutrients, it not only provides organic sunscreen, but also primes the skin while boosting collagen. For your body, use an organic sunblock free from chemicals. Our top pick for a natural organic sunscreen is the Simple As 100% That Natural and Vegan Sunscreen Lotion.

Natural self tanner

Looking after your skin doesn’t mean you have to go pale. A sun kissed golden tan can help to even out your complexion and give you a healthy glow. While commercial self tanners are full of chemicals, an organic tanning lotion is a safe way to show off your bronzed body. For best results, make sure to exfoliate before applying your all natural tanning lotion. This will not only help the natural self tanner develop more evenly, but will will also help the tan last longer. Forgot to apply your organic fake tan with enough time to develop?

Natural makeup

To see you through your summer social calendar, we have the best range of natural and organic make up. Starting with a natural makeup primer, this will help your foundation go on smoothly and last all day. For a more natural look and lighter coverage, try a natural face powder. These can be applied minimally for an “I’m not wearing makeup” look, or built up for more coverage if desired. And don’t forget to apply with natural makeup brushes. Team with some natural eyeshadow and natural lipstick and you’re set. Looking for the best natural mascara for summer?

Natural bug repellent

Last but certainly not least, natural insect repellent is a must for summer. Wether you’re going camping, or simply having casual drinks alfresco, keeping an organic mosquito repellent on hand is essential to avoid annoying bugs and itchy bites. You can even use organic insect repellent as an anti-itch remedy if you get bitten before applying.
