Summer is here! The sun's out, the air is warm, and the bees are buzzing- time for beach days, hiking and camping trips! As great as it can be, this season’s activities can be harsh on our skin.
Ample outdoor time can translate into sunburn, bug bites and more- and who wants to spread chemical sprays and creams all over their body? Not I. But, fear not! We’ve curated a few seasonal favorites that will keep you and yours happy and healthy all summer long.
Organic Bug Spray
I'm not sure why, but mosquitos love me. I’m that person who will get multiple bites while everyone else walks away unscathed. Being a mosquito magnet is inconvenient to say the least, but Meadowlark Botanical’s Organic Deet Free Bug Spray truly works!
A few spritzes and I'm able to enjoy the outdoors without being eaten alive, which is miraculous considering the spray is non-toxic and natural. It’s also safe for our little ones, as well as our furry best friends. Spray onto your pup’s collar or lead and enjoy those trail hikes mosquito-free.
Cooling After Sun Spray
I try to avoid over-exposure to the sun as I have fair skin. A long sporting event or simply losing track of time (or forgetting to re-apply sunscreen) and I’ll develop the complexion of a lobster. Ouch. After Sun Skin Soothing Spray is my rescue! This natural aloe-based spray soothes and calms angry red skin and the cooling mint feels refreshing and takes out the sting. Stash a bottle in the fridge for extra cooling power on those hot days.
Healing Salve
While working in the garden or running around outside, cuts and scrapes are bound to happen. Organic Herbal Healing Salve is my go-to natural remedy. It helps to quickly ease pain and itchiness as the antimicrobial and antibacterial herbal ingredients keeps infections at bay. Just dab onto the skin, or apply to your child’s band-aid and you’re both back in action.
Body Glow
Nothing like a bit of shimmer to highlight the skin! This beautiful, lightweight Vegan Body Glow Cream feels fantastic and looks so natural. I love how it brings out a subtle glow, without the glitter. Use a small amount to create highlights, or build deeper color and irridescence. It's available in a variety of theraputic grade essential oil scents including sandalwood, ripe pomegranate and coconut. Yum!
Organic Dry Shampoo
With the kids out of school, family vacations, graduations, BBQ’s and loads of travel, we may be short on time, but our hair won’t look it! Meadowlark’s Natural Dry Shampoo soaks up oily build-up and makes hair look and smell freshly washed in record time. It brings volume and life back into my hair, crucial on humid days.
Just shake a little near your roots, rub in and run out the door! Perfect for summer travels as it’s non-aerosol, durable and carry-on size compliant. Both light and dark hair versions are available.
With these five summer staples (plus a little sunscreen!) we can all enjoy our time outdoors that much more. I know my hair can withstand the heat and humidity, my skin is going to glow, and for once, the mosquitos will feast elsewhere!
