Summer is finally here and in full-swing! We wait all year for some fun in the sun but, let's face it, summer is hard on our skin. Our faces need a good clean after a day of sweating in the heat. We're constantly shaving our legs and getting sunburns. Plus, our feet need extra attention to stay sandal-ready. These are some of my favorite Perfectly Posh products to keep your skin healthy and ready for summer fun!

Keep your face clean and clear - It can't be just me who gets a ton of acne from the heat. The sweat just clogs all of my pores and I can't stand it. It's important to cleanse your skin every day to breakdown the sweat, dirt, and oils that build up during the day. Complexion Perfection is a super light cleanser with little bits of walnut to gently exfoliate skin. It has peppermint extract which leaves my face cool and refreshed, which is exactly what I want during the hot summer months! If I do happen to get a zit or two, I dab a little bit of Zit Zapper on them to, well, zap them away! Then I use Moisturize 911 to hydrate my skin, a very important step to keep oil at bay. This moisturizer smells like fresh oranges (yum!) and has caffeine to brighten and even skin tone.

Get the closest shave ever - I hate the feeling of prickly legs. This means I am constantly shaving, especially so during the summer. I used to have to shave every single day before I started exfoliating. The Snarky Bar has been a god-send. It's a big bar of exfoliating soap, kind of like a body scrub in a solid bar. I scrub all of the dead skin off, which leads to a closer shave. Then I use coconut oil in place of a shaving cream; it hydrates and protects all in one. I get such a close, smooth shave, I only have to shave every two or three days! When I want my legs to be extra hydrated and glamorous, I use some dry oil before I go out. Smoothest. Legs. Ever.

Keep feet sandal ready - Feet tend to take an extra beating in the summer. They're constantly exposed to the elements in sandals or, if you're like me, when you're barefoot. I exfoliate my feet like crazy. Rubby Scrubby gets all of those stubborn calluses and dead skin off. Then I use my sand scrub when I really want to polish them up. Schwanky & Soft is an exfoliating creme that keeps feet soft and smooth; I like to use this overnight and wake up with super soft feet. During the day when it's hot out, Cool Your Sole protects feet with beeswax and keeps them cool with peppermint essential oil. Now my feet stay soft and sandal (or barefoot) ready!
