Simple Skincare Summer Essentials + Giveaway!

With the warm weather comes sunny patio lunches, lounging on the beach, barbeques, pool days and picnics. It is the time of year when many of us embrace the great outdoors and get social but it also means a stronger UV index, the need for more protection and lighter moisturizers. Simple skincare is a brand that prides itself on being suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive and their line includes 18 products consisting of cleansers, eye care, moisturizers and wipes. The fabulous thing about Simple is that their collection is free of: dyes, parabens, artificial perfumes and harsh chemicals and they nourish skin with essential vitamins and rich conditioning agents.


I usually begin increasing the amount of sun protection I wear gradually starting with SPF 15 in spring and moving up to something stronger when the index gets higher. The Protecting Light Moisturizer with broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15 is great for use under makeup because it absorbs quickly and leaves no residue or stickiness on the skin. Crafted with multivitamins including B5 and E this cream can be used all year to protect against the elements and it gently hydrates and softens. This is ideal for those who prefer lightweight undetectable sunscreens and unlike thick formulas this hypoallergenic blend does not clog pores or irritate my face. It retails for about $12.79.


When I am on the go or traveling my skin tends to get dehydrated and the Ultra-Light Gel Moisturizer is the perfect pick-me-up for parched skin. Because of its lightweight, non-greasy formula it is perfect for hot, humid days and it can be layered under sunscreen for an extra dose of hydration. Just a small pump is enough to cover the entire face and it dries and absorbs quickly which is also suitable for oily skin. The small tube slips conveniently into your purse or makeup bag and it creates a nice smooth surface for the application of cosmetics.


Simple’s Cleansing Micellar Water is one of my favorite products from the brand coming in a close second to the foaming cleanser which I've been recommending to everyone! I am pretty good at removing my makeup at the end of the day but even when you think you've got it all the Micellar Water proves you wrong! This magical formula not only removes the makeup still clinging to your skin it hydrates and feels refreshing! Unlike drying toners this light cleanser is alcohol free and contains flower extracts to moisten and revive. After an initial wipe with a makeup cloth I apply the solution to a cotton pad and gently wipe my face, neck and even around my eyes to efficiently remove the most stubborn makeup! If you haven’t tried this product yet I highly recommend it! It retails for $7.99.


For those who need a bit more hydration even in spring and summer the Replenishing Rich Moisturizer is formulated to work for 12 hours and it instantly creates a soft, supple veil on the skin to abolish dry patches and rejuvenate. This cream is also very lightweight, pleasantly scented and suitable for layering under makeup and sunscreens without making you look oily as the day heats up. If you spend a bit too much time basking in the sun and your skin begins to look dull or feel dry and damaged this moisturizer soothes with chamomile oil and vitamins which nourishes without causing further irritation to sensitive skin, it retails for $11.27.
