Moisturization is always the foundation of any good skin-care routine. Personally, moisturization is the key to healthy and happy skin. After using any and all moisturizers on the market, I’ve found that Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer is a perfect solution to curb dryness and an easy way to eliminate skin irritation. Infused with a pleasant fragrance, the cream melts into the skin like butter, and instantly soothes any redness caused by the hazards of the day.

GS Approved: Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer is infused with Feverfew PFE –a naturally calming ingredient similar in nature to Chamomile. Dubbed a revolutionary breakthrough in skincare, the flower is powerful enough to withstand harsh weather conditions, so what better product to put on your skin to protect it from said hazards?

Inspiration: Kate Bosworth always has such a fresh-faced glow to her skin. Use Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 to achieve some of the same anti-irritated finish!

If you’re anything like me the thought of the impending winter makes you start to shudder. Cold weather is not my thing! So I try to hold onto summer as long as I can. And now that’s easy with Marc Anthony’s Dream Waves Beach Spray.  From the soft, tousled waves to the beachy coconut scent this spray just screams summer. Whether you have straight, fine strands or already wavy locks this spray creates natural, effortless, beach hair.

GS Approved: Not only does Dream Waves Beach Spray make your hair look great, it also makes it healthier. Hydrolyzed silk and provitamin B5 work together to protect your hair while adding moisture and shine. Meanwhile, powerful UV protectors absorb ultraviolet light to save your locks from sun exposure, dehydration, and colour-fade.

Inspiration: No one perfects the wavy beach hair look like Kate Hudson. No matter the season, Kate’s wavy, golden mane is always looking great (and healthy!).

It’s that time of year again.  Aside from mosquitoes, the only thing I despise about hot summer days is the impact the humidity has on my hair.  I’ll leave the house with voluminous, bouncy curls and by the time I get home from work my hair is flat, frizzy and dead straight.  Can you relate?  Luckily Herbal Essences has released their revitalized collection, which includes the None of Your Frizzness Conditioner. Infused with Mandarin crème and pearl, this anti-frizz formula not only helps to leave hair frizz-free in the most humid conditions, but it also smells like a citrusy dream!

GS Approved: None of Your Frizzness Conditioner contains water-activated silkening ingredients that lie on each hair cuticle providing moisture and hydration.  What’s more, these ingredients help reflect the sun making hair shiny and vibrant.

Inspiration: Celebrity ambassador Leighton Meester has the shiniest of mains.  This summer, achieve this soft, shiny and beautiful look with this anti-frizz, humidity-fighting conditioner!
