Happy April, Easter, and April Fools! So many things all landed on the same day, which makes me think that April is going to be particularly special. It’s definitely started to feel like spring here in Austin with wildflowers blooming alongside all the roads and highways. In the next week I am definitely planning a country drive to see the bluebonnets! I have a good feeling about the way this month is going and have been developing and testing new products for the season change.

During the spring and summer, I slowly start to step away from heavy make-up and foundation and step towards clean and glowy skin!

I’m often testing out new products and product formulations to find my all-time favorites that leave my face feeling nice and dewy. Here are 5 of my favorite products to use to achieve glowing skin just in time for summer!

1. Hydrating Caffè Mocha Mineral Mask

I love this new masque by Shamarwyn because you can really apply it all over your face and your body. I pretty much mask up my entire chest, neck and face area before I hop in the shower and let it really soak into my skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and soft. The caffeine in the coffee absolute is excellent for tightening and smoothing the skin on your thighs and buttocks as well as clearing and toning the skin on your back. The coffee and cocoa smell heavenly!

2. Rose and Peppermint Creamy, Botanical Face Wash

This creamy, botanical formula is extra special in warmer weather because of the added peppermint! It is so refreshing and really makes your face feel clean and awakened!

3. Rose and Peppermint Facial Toner

Once again, the added peppermint in this face spritz really awakens your skin and tightens and refines your pores! The formulation includes organic witch hazel that is so good for healing your skin and diminishing break-outs and redness.

4. Neroli Facial Oil

This precious oil is written to be Cleopatra’s secret to eternal beauty. It comes from the blossom of the bitter orange tree. Neroli is good for everything from break-outs to being a powerful anti-aging and skin brightening ingredient. I use it every night as part of my night time skin ritual after cleansing and toning.

SKIP HARSH CHEMICALS IN FAVOR OF NATURAL TREATMENTS THAT INCLUDE ESSENTIAL OILS, WHICH CAN BE USED TO INFUSE YOUR SKIN WITH HEALTHY NUTRIENTS WHILE MINIMIZING DAMAGE OR IRRITATION. IN ADDITION TO IMPROVING THE CONDITION OF YOUR SKIN, THESE NATURALLY DERIVED OILS ADD FRESHNESS TO YOUR BODY AND BALANCE THE MOISTURE LEVELS OF YOUR SKIN. CHOOSE OILS THAT APPEAL TO YOUR SENSE OF SMELL AND MEET YOUR SKIN’S NEEDS.

5. Shamarwyn’s Body Oils

Nothing takes the place of these exquisite, versatile body oils for replacing and holding the moisture in your skin after being exposed to the sun and after bathing. I like the Rosemary Mint Body Oil after a shower because it is so refreshing! The Mandarin Orange and Frankincense is good for hyperpigmentation. I use the French Lavender at night because the aroma helps me to sleep!

SHAMARWYN BODY PRODUCTS USE THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED, HIGH-GRADE AND WILD-CRAFTED ESSENTIAL OILS AND NATURAL BLENDS THAT CONNECT US TO PLANT WISDOM. THROUGHOUT TIME, CULTURES HAVE USED AROMATIC OILS FOR SACRED RITUAL, AROMATHERAPY, PURIFICATION, CONTEMPLATION, PERFUME AND MEDICINE. WE LOOK TO THESE PLANTS FOR GUIDANCE, HEALING AND INSPIRATION.
