COOLA FOR THE SUMMER

Countdown to summer has officially begun and COOLA'S got you covered! I've also added a few of my favorite sun screens that I never leave home without.

Thanks to COOLA'S organic sunless mousse you can feel great about bronzing your bod. This tanning mouse is cruelty-free, no GMO'S, vegan. and very little fragrance. I suggest you apply once to see how you like the color then darken from there. It works fast, I recommend you apply with a damp sponge to get inside the creases. I ended up with a beautiful color after two applications. I was able to maintain my bronze color for a good two weeks after my spray tan.

COOLA SPORT spf 50 Sunscreen Spray

Before every vacation, I do get a spray tan. Mainly because it evens out my skin and It looks like I've been enjoying the sunshine and not baking in it. Spray tans of course fade after a few days so to keep that glow going I used Coola, not only for the beautiful color but for protection from the sun. This Broad Spectrum unscented spray sunscreen is fantastic. It's water-resistant, unscented and certified organic, and super convienent for the family.

SuperGoop setting powder SPF 45 - CC Cream Sunscreen SPF 35 - Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 - I used these for ten days during our trip to Hawaii while surfing, sunning and running and our faces never burned. The powder is so easy to use, great to keep that in your bag for quick touch ups.

Another dependable brand is Colorscience - whipped mineral sunscreen and Broad Spectrum SPF 50 brush-on-sunscreen. These products are non-chemical, protective and water resistant (40 minutes.) They're easy to apply and leave a beautiful finish to your complexion. This also is great if you're out sight-seeing it's so creamy and light, it gives you a flawless finish.

If you wondering what self-tanners and sunscreens for you and your family this summer; I  highly recommend COOLA - Supergoop  and Colorscience. While you're in the sun your skin will be shaded.

I'd love to know what your favorite self-tanners are and your favorite sun protectors.

Thanks for reading, have fun in the sun and stay safe!
