Summer Skin Essentials | What's In My Bag?

We all know that good skin requires great products and a good skin care regiment. That need is even more in the hot, summer months. Throw in being a new or expectant mom and you really have to make sure the products you are using are gentle, natural and effective. This summer, my beach bag is filled with some of my favorite essentials for keeping my skin looking it’s best.

One line that I’m loving is, Basq Skincare – several of their amazing products have made it onto my summer skin essentials list!

More about Basq

Basq presents gentle, effective skincare that splurge on beauty and deliver on results – appealing to those in all life stages. This amazing company has grown steadily over the past 6 years – with recognition and countless awards. It is a favorite among physicians and midwives, editors and beauty experts. In addition, it is clinically tested for sensitivity and allergy. All products are paraben-free, phthalate-free, sulfate-free and not tested on animals.

I had the pleasure of trying out the REVIVE Resilient Body Oil, the Cucumber Tea Eye Gel and the Refreshing Energizing Body Gel from the Basq NYC line.

My Take: These products are great. I have very sensitive skin – a lot of eye gels tend to irritate that sensitive skin around my eye. The Cucumber Tea Eye Gel is so gentle and refreshing. It’s perfect for after a long day on the beach, in the sun – to help get the skin around the eyes rehydrated and prevent lines/wrinkles.

I loved smoothing on the Energizing Body Gel after a day chasing my kids on the beach. It was great on my legs and feet after being on my feet all day long.
