Back to School Beauty Basics for Kids and Moms Alike

    Before we know it, all of our kids will be back to school. Some of my friends in other states have already started the 2016/2017 school year. I wanted to reach out to all of you with some beauty basics for those that are headed back to school, or those that are headed back to work after a summer hiatus.

    First up on my list is the Sleek Finish Straightener by John Frieda®. This amazing straightener has one inch plates to smooth and shine while it straightens your locks. It heats up to 455°F (235°C) and is ready to go in a mere FIFTEEN SECONDS! That’s fast! (So if you or your kid is running late on a school morning, this straightener won’t slow you down!) The advanced ionic conditioning will magnify manageability, and help transform your hair into smooth, sleek strands. With 11 digital settings, this straightener provides perfect results for all hair types!

    Sticking with the back to school hair theme, I also want to tell you about an incredible brush by Conair®. The Flip Side is two brushes in one, and great for any hair type. One side has nylon bristles to gently detangle your mane. The flip side of the brush has boar bristles to add shine. The one they sent me is a vented round brush, but it also comes in a paddle brush, and in two different sizes. I have VERY coarse, thick hair, so finding the right brush is hard for me. This brush glides through my hair with ease. First I use the detangle side, then I finish off with the shine side. I love it!

    Let’s talk about your skin. Your face in particular. Foundation is an important part of any makeup regimen, whether you prefer a more natural look, or go for a bolder one. Burt’s Bees® BB Cream is perfect for teens and for women. It’s somewhere between a lightweight foundation and a super hydrating lotion. It cover evenly, and doesn’t leave an oily feel afterwards. BB Cream contains Noni Extracts and is 98.9% natural. With an SPF of 15 it will even help block out some of the suns harmful rays. It firms, protects, conceals, illuminates, and perfects your skin. It helps to even your skin tone, and for moms like me, it helps to hide fine lines and wrinkles. You can get BB Cream in three shades. Light, Light/Medium, and Medium. I have a light olive skin tone and Light/Medium shade is perfect for me!

    Lastly, I want to tell fellow mom’s about Micro-Derma Crystals Polishing Gel by DDF®. This gel is like a visit to the spa or estheticians office, but in the comfort of your own home. This unique polishing gel is a self warming formula that produces an exothermic reaction to help open pores and exfoliate dead skin cells. It gently sluffs away imperfections and damaged surface skin. This gel delivers an immediate improvement in fine lines and facial wrinkles.
