To be posh this summer, you just need to invent your own definiation of elegance, lifestyle, style, and socialiability living. Along with these aspects of poshness you should also be able to maintain healithy living and sense of style this summer.
1. Mineral Sunscreen For Body –
Ever since i came in contact with Suntegrity Skincare I became a big advocate of wearing they sunscreen. However, most of the sunscreens on the market use chemical UV blockers and contain a lot of toxic ingredients. It didn’t make sense to me to use these types of sunscreens to prevent skin cancer only to get another kind of cancer.
Suntegrity Face and Body SPF 30 products use only the best known physical block ingredient (non-nano size zinc oxide) to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and super anti-oxidants and amino acids to enhance that protection and help with skin repair. Our products use non-toxic preservatives to maintain their integrity without sacrificing safety or health. Our company was awarded “Champion” Status by the EWG/Compact for Safe Cosmetics
For best results, apply daily and immediately after bathing. Safe & Chic Natural Organic Skincare Products

2. Sea Mist Texturizing Salt Spray –
Many women and men love how their hair looks after a day at the beach—the classic texture of “beach waves.” But the best part of that just came from the ocean hair is that it’s effortless: go play in the saltwater, let your hair dry while relaxing on the beach, and, voilà, perfect beachy hair. Getting the look you want with minimal effort has many wishing they could take the ocean home in a bottle. And actually, you can! If you’re not frequenting the beach, get a bottle of sea salt spray mist for the next best thing.
Sea salt spray is the only hair product you need for summer. Regardless of the texture or thickness of hair, sea salt spray is a winner. You can spray it on damp hair or already dry hair to perk it up or give it some more texture, volume, or beach-like waves. Armed with sea salt spray, you’ll have no need to fear the summer humidity; it will actually help your hair look a bit wavier. Plus, you don’t have to worry about melting your make-up in the summer heat with blow-drying—sea salt spray does great when hair air-dries. Bonus: these sea salt sprays are all nontoxic.contains the finest all-natural ingredients, with an emphasis on ingredients that are plant-based, organic, and food-grade. Each ingredient is included for a therapeutic reason. No animal testing is conducted on our products or ingredients. All of our oils are cold-pressed or steam distilled. These are the best extraction methods available and lead to premium quality oils. All products are made in small batches in the USA.
3. HYDY Water Resources Bottle –
Trust me, you will love to stay hydrated this season, HYDY is one resource I will recommend to reserve water, especially sports, work, events, etc, HYDY, is a forward-thinking brand with a focus on conserving water resources and protecting the environment. With a media platform and an array of sustainable products, as well as an education-based mobile application, HYDY seeks to raise awareness about the importance of water and effect a positive change on society.
Water has many forms and it is one of the most powerful elements on Earth. Similar to an avalanche rushing downhill or a tsunami gaining strength as it moves across the ocean, the goal at HYDY is to create a force of energy—a ripple that will gain tremendous force and momentum over time.
To do this, HYDY casts a broad net. , interactive experience with information about a variety of topics, from water conservation, lifestyle and environmental protection issues, to natural farming practices, children’s education, diet, and eco-tourism. Reducing the use of plastic water bottles would have a substantial effect. Plus, the funds that would be saved could be allocated toward raising awareness about water conservation, providing communities worldwide with better water filtration technologies, promoting anti-pollution efforts, and reducing atmospheric carbon, which would help to ensure that everyone has access to clean drinking water.
4. Hat, Scarf or headband
While your hair looks a bit undone (that’s the goal with the sea salt spray!) repurpose that neckerchief/scarf/bandana that’s been having a moment and put it in your hair. It doesn’t matter if you have a pixie cut or hair all the way down your back, or whether your hair falls flat on your head or has a mind of its own: headbands look great with any do. Plus, scarves or headbands make fun and colorful accessories for any outfit and seem especially appropriate for the season of summer. Any color or pattern of square scarf or bandana in silk or cotton will do. I recommend buying one in a color that you wear often, so you can throw the scarf on anytime you need to spice up your outfit (or hide your day-three hair!).
This hack might be my favorite because a scarf makes you look put together and intentional, even when your hair actually looks greasy, messy, or like you just rolled out of bed. If my hair looks especially unsightly—I’m talking, a bottle of dry shampoo can’t touch it—I put it in a bun or ponytail and wrap the scarf around the hair tie. This one detail makes it look like a put-together style instead of a last-minute messy updo.
Simply fold a square scarf or bandana in half, forming a triangle, then, starting with the point of the triangle where the two ends come together, fold/roll the scarf so it forms a thin, long shape. You can wrap it around your head so the tie ends up hidden at the nape of your neck for a more polished look, or tie it on top of your head for a more relaxed and playful look. You can leave the ends of the tie out so it looks like a bow, or you can tuck them under the scarf or wrap them around the knot itself so you’ll just see a knot at the top.
5. The right foundation color
It’s around this time of year when that aforementioned sun-kissed skin is starting to appear, that I start to notice how ghostly I look when putting on my usual BB cream. Come summer, your tinted cream or foundation from earlier in the year might not match your skin well. To ameliorate this issue, mix a few drops of a liquid bronzer or an illuminator much darker than your actual skin color with your regular BB cream, tinted moisturizer, or foundation. You can do this by putting your usual cream on the back of your hand, adding the liquid bronzer, and swirling it together with your finger. If it still seems too light for your current skin color, add a few more drops until you get it right.
With this hack, you don’t have to buy new makeup that will only work for your summer skin (and you probably won’t use all of it anyway). Plus, you can still use your new product once the summer and your sun-kissed skin fade. Just a drop or two of liquid bronzer or illuminator dabbed on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose will perk up your skin and give it a glow.
I currently use Giorgio Armani fluid sheer in No. 10, which is much darker than my skin, so it works perfectly for this trick. Though it’s quite expensive, a little goes a long way, so it’s taking me a very long time to use it (which is why I still have it even though I started making the switch to non-toxic products long ago). When I finally use it all, I will switch to a non-toxic illuminator, like Ilia Liquid Illuminator in Nova. Check out the liquid illuminator I currently use and some non-toxic options below:
