Summer Skincare: Eleanor’s must-haves for Hawaii
Each summer flocks of us San Francisco city dwellers head to the islands of Hawaii. Lush, tropical, humid, rainy, sunny or dry, Hawaii’s multi-faceted and different climate can reward our soul, yet blast our skin with a new set of issues (if we’re not careful).
This month our very own San Francisco spa esthetician Eleanor Bagley, heads to Hawaii with a carry-on full skincare products, tested for the Hawaiian elements. Mahalo Eleanor for sharing! Here are Eleanor’s summer skincare picks:
In Fiore Fleur Vibrante ($58): The ultimate healing floral balm. Great for healing over exposed or sun burned skin with soothing calendula and sea buckthorn.
Kahina Argan Oil ($36 for 30mL): Used for centuries by the Berber women of Morocco to combat the suns harsh rays with its high concentration of vitamin E.
Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate ($39.95): Great mixed with any sunscreen, moisturizer or body lotion to give you that sun kissed glow.
IS CLINICAL Pro Heal Serum ($78 for 15mL): Super antioxidant for daytime wear. A mixed blend of 15% vitamin C and olive leaf extract to protect the skin from damaging environmental stressors and heal the skin topically. This formulation can even be used on insect bites!
SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion Defense SPF 50 ($32 for 50mL, $64 for 125mL): Sweat and water resistant for all your activities with a perfect tint for all skin shades to give your skin a vacation and stay makeup free! Our new 125mL size is available now for a limited time only! Stock up.
Kai Body Lotion ($37): Because we never want to leave Hawaii and you don’t have to with this blend of exotic scents.
Aloha,
Sofia
