If you're planning a beach getaway be sure to pack some skin loving goodies! The warm sun has wonderful advantages but there is no doubt that exposure to the sunlight should be done in moderation as well as taking the necessary measures to care for your skin and to also look your best!

Besides the obvious skin products to bring- cleanse, tone and moisturize- I would suggest a few must-haves for your fun in the sun:

1. SUNSCREEN SUNSCREEN SUNSCREEN

Apart from your usual beach body sunscreen I would recommend our favorite tint from a line called Suntegrity. This all in one, "UV Chemical-Free" Tinted Sunscreen/Beauty Benefit (BB) cream that treats, hydrates, protects, primes and covers the skin. Supercharged with youth promoting antioxidants that help to scavenge surface free radicals, this cream also provides mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 30 protection. Hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin, red algae and Certified Organic.  We sell this shade in 3 beautiful colors and can help you decide what one is right for you! $45

2. MOISTURIZE

Helping your skin regain its normal moisture is essential when spending time in the sun.  The damaging rays create high possibilities of drying out the skin causing, fine lines, wrinkles as well as causing extreme peeling. We love Native Nectars Botanical Body Oil. This beautiful, soothing oil moisturizes skin while botanical extracts deeply nourish, leaving skin silky smooth. Easily absorbed, this oil is perfect for head-to-toe daily use. The subtle aroma of rose, neroli and sandalwood essential oils uplift and calm the mind while enhancing skin texture. Made without parabens, silicones, synthetic fragrances, or animal testing!  $35

3. NATURAL INSECT REPELLENT

Herbs are great at repelling insects. Harness the power of these plants with Bug-Off Balm by Dynamic Roots! With Catnip, Lemongrass and Eucalyptus this balm will discourage those little buggers from snacking on you!  This incredible balm is made right here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. $10

4. ALCHEMY MINERAL BRONZERS

Each bronzer shade provides you with a sun-kissed look without the harmful side effects of the sun’s rays.  Dust the bronzers on the face and neck for a natural tan. For a extra beauty tip: Add a bit of the bronzer to the eyelid for a beautiful shadow! $45

5. EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Lash extensions are created to mimic your natural lashes but creating a fuller, longer look. They are attached to each one of your individual lashes by either a synthetic hair, silk or genuine mink lash. These flashy flutters should be on the top of your "to do" list before any vacation!  The lashes stay on for a full 3 weeks and do not break down in the salt water.  You can get any type of look from glam to all natural for your getaway. One of our Alchemist lash techs will help you decide what lash look is perfect for you! Book HERE or call/text our store at 303-817-1430.$ Pricing varies upon lash requests.
