What's in My Beach Bag?

Always in my hand bag = a hand cream or lotion with SPF in it.

Hissyfit Handy Work protects your hands with SPF 30+ and UVA/UVB protection. It's non-greasy and has a hint of citrus scent to it. It's a little bit pricey, at $29 each, it definitely falls into the 'luxurious' category. I would say it's worth the investment if you are in the sun a lot and worry about your hands aging.

Some additional benefits are:

• All natural SPF with advanced zinc/titanium dioxide technology – not chemically derived
• Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection
• Formulated with soothing botanical extracts of Aloe and Vitamin E
• Intense hydration of Olive Butter and Macadamia Oil

Giveaway Break - Get Bikini Ready with Completely Bare

Ingrown hairs got you down? It's that time of year when you're probably shaving more frequently, and fighting off ingrown hairs. Completely Bare Spa has two products that can help you this summer!

Completely Bare Spa's Bikini Bump Blaster has your back. These pads prevent and eliminate ingrown hair while keeping 'just waxed' skin super smooth. Glycolic acid (clears away the dead skin cells that clog pores and hair follicles that cause ingrown hairs) together with salicylic acid (blocks bacteria buildup by reducing sebum production in pores) makes this all possible.

Completely Bare Spa's Completely Smooth for Body claims to stop the hair growth. It allows you to wax and shave less and is clinically proven to visibly diminish hair texture by up to 55%, density by up to 50% and length by up to 30%.
