Summer is here! We are budding with excitement over this season’s trends and vacations. Summer is our busiest season and we always look forward to providing you with helpful content to help you plan and book your summer vacations. This year we wanted to focus on beauty and health. And why not? Beauty and health is synonymous with travel for both men and women. Just about everyone travels with some kind of hygiene item, right? We thought we’d spice things up a bit by showing you 20 of our favorite beauty and health items of the season. Keep these items in mind as you start planning your road trip. If you plan on doing more than just hitting the highways and byways, we think these items will fit beautifully in your busy lifestyle too. Love what we listed? Be sure to let us know at drivethenation.com/summerbeauty. Happy traveling!

The Cleansing Facial Wipes are perfect for travel
because you get 25 towelettes housed in a durable
package. Vacationing leaves very little time for tasks like
washing the face but these facial wipes make it super
easy to do so before bed and right after waking up.
Not sure how your skin will react to the wipes?
They are hypo-allergenic and are both fragrance-free
and dye-free. Cleanse that skin of yours easily and
safely! You can get these wipes at any drugstore
nationwide.
Packing skincare products for a trip is already daunting but
have you ever had your favorite and most expensive facial
cleanser spill all over your brand new sandals? Talk about
ruining a trip before it even starts! Not to mention if you
have to take a flight and don’t feel the need to check a bag,
you may run into some trouble with TSA if you take your
8 oz bottle of face wash. Less is more when it comes to
packing so ditch the big bottles and pack Simple Skincare’s
Cleansing Facial Wipes ($4.99). Ideal for those with sensitive
skin, this cruelty-free brand carries affordable products that
omit the yucky ingredients.

Makeup on vacation? Why bother,
right? Let’s face it, you should always be prepared
to look your best, even if you don’t have plans for a
fancy outing. Some products are great staples for
that reason. Bronzer is great for a sun kissed glow
but sometimes you need even more of a glisten.
We can’t get enough of NARS Albatross ($29).
This powder brush looks beautiful on just about
everyone and even though it is intended to use on
the cheeks, you can also use it as an eyeshadow.
Don’t stop there. Want to dust a bit on your hairline
for an evening goddess glow? Go for it! This blush
of all blushes made its way in our guide simply
because we love how many ways you can use it.
A little goes a long way so it’s important to use
a light hand when applying. We love the subtly
angelic glow that Albatross gives us. You can get it
from Sephora stores nationwide and Sephora.com.

Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion SPF 30

Stop! Don’t even think about going anywhere
without having sunscreen on your face. What’s that you
say? You’re just going to the grocery store? Don’t let
those UV rays fool you. Even a quick trek from your car
to the store can negatively affect your skin. Your best bet
is to wear sunscreen daily. Get in the habit of applying it
every morning, even if you don’t plan on spending much
time outside. We love Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing
Face Lotion SPF 30 ($6) for everyday use.
This sunscreen has a nice and lightweight feel making it
fantastic for guys and gals of various skin types. Not a fan
of the sunscreen-y smell? We aren’t either. You’ll be happy
to know that this sunscreen has a very mild and tolerable
sunscreen smell to it. Ladies who wear foundation and
powders on their faces won’t have to worry about smelling
as if they are going to beach everyday. SPF 30 provides
an excellent amount of protection and we love how
affordable this sunscreen is. A little goes a long way and
the convenient pump top makes for excellent distribution
of product. You can find this Eucerin Daily Protection
Moisturizing Face Lotion at most drugstores and anywhere
Eucerin products are sold.
“SPF 30 provides an
excellent amount of
protection and we
love how affordable
this sunscreen is.”

*sniff sniff* What’s that glorious smell?
We believe in taking care of all of the senses and
where would we be without the fresh smell of
summer? That’s right! Summer has a smell and
it smells divine. Clinique’s Happy Summer Spray
($63) is a limited edition item so if you’ve been lucky
enough to take a whiff of it, be sure to grab it as
quickly as you can. If you like a nice combination of
citrus and floral notes, this fragrance will be up your
alley. It’s a light scent that won’t overwhelm other
fragranced antiperspirants and lotions.
The Happy Summer Spray invokes such happiness that even taking a whiff of it on a cloudy
day can flood your mind with positive vibes and affirmations. Yep, we are that in love with it.
Take yourself on a quick mental vacation and get a bottle of Clinique’s Happy Summer Spray
at Clinique counters and at Clinique.com.

We get it. Humans sweat. It’s our bodies’ natural
way of keeping us cool. We’re not complaining
about that part. But what happens if you sweat in
situations where you’d prefer not to sweat? Like
at dinner? Or while on an interview? Certain
Dri Anti-perspirant ($4.99) is unique in that the
fragrance-free and colorless solid helps control
wetness under the arms.
Sounds too good to be true, huh?
Well, it isn’t. If users can dedicate to using this
every night, they’ll wake up to underarms that
won’t perspire as much. Of course, it won’t help
in every situation but if you’ve got a conference
to attend this summer and don’t want to scare off
potential clients, you may want to toss this in your
travel bag. The good news is it really does work.
The bad news is, it doesn’t block odor so you may
still need to wear your regular deodorant to mask
any underarm smell. We love how a product like
this can instantly provide a new level of confidence
for those with excessively sweaty underarms. You
can get Certain Dri at drugstores nationwide.
“…wake up to underarms that won’t perspire
as much.”

Not every girl wants to spend time putting on
a ton of makeup just for it to melt in the hot
summer sun. We don’t blame you! However,
if you still like to beautify while traveling, we
think you’ll love this N.Y.C Color Bronzer ($3). It
gives off the perfect amount of glow for women of
all complexions. It requires very little doctoring up. A
quick thrust of your favorite brush on your cheeks is all
that is required to deposit the right amount of glow.
If you prefer a bit more coverage, try pairing it with your favorite concealer or
lightweight tinted moisturizer. More than anything, we’ve found that this powder
photographs beautifully! Pictures last forever and if we’re going to be
in them, we need to look fantastic. Even if you’ve been
trekking up and down outlet stores or spent time
at the theme parks, this powder will somehow
manage to stay on your cheeks without budging
one bit. We love longwear beauty products
and a bronzer this sturdy and affordable is
perfect for summer travel. You can find this
bronzing powder at drugstores.

In love with cosmetics so much that you just CAN’T
go anywhere without your mascara? We totally
understand. There’s something captivating about
mascara. Mascara has a way of really making those
eyes pop and who doesn’t want to have flashy lashes
while on vacay? Raccoon eyes from a drippy mascara
is a thing of the past. Especially if you’ve got Urban
Decay’s Cannonball mascara on your side ($20). A
coat or two of this mascara means your lashes will
stand out and last throughout the day.
We’ve put it to the test by working out
while wearing it and hitting the pool while wearing it
too. It simply won’t budge. The secret behind this
mascara is its gel formula. The dense brush helps to
elongate even the tiniest of lashes and the formula
helps it last for hours at a time. Mascara lovers
simply can’t pack their travel makeup bags without
this necessity. You can get it from Sephora stores
nationwide and Sephora.com.

Clinique After-Sun Rescue Balm with Aloe
11
Whether you’ve got a bit of a sunburn from the
sun hitting your skin while road trippin’ or while
laying out to catch rays, your skin is going to need
some pampering. Suitable for all ages (but get your
pediatrician’s okay for children under 5 years old),
Clinique’s After-Sun Rescue Balm with Aloe ($23) is
not only soothing to the skin but it is healing as well.
This oil-free balm hydrates skin with a nice dose
of aloe. If you’re prone to peeling, this is a definite
must have as it ever so gently helps minimize
peeling. If sunscreen is the before, think of this
Rescue Balm as the after.
If you’ve found that your skin is super sensitive
and very warm to the touch, toss the balm in your
refrigerator for an hour or so for an extra cooling
effect. Don’t even think about heading to the beach
without this holy grail of a balm. You can grab it at
Clinique counters and at Clinique.com.
Summer Essentials
How wonderful is it to have your nails painted so
well that the polish doesn’t chip off for weeks!
Most of us think we have to go to a nail
salon and have all sorts of gels and top
coats placed on our nails to achieve the
long lasting color without chipping away.
Allow us to fill you in on a spectacular
secret – you don’t need to spend any
more money at the nail salon for those
perfectly painted nails! China Glaze
Sunsational Nail Lacquer is as good
as professional nail enamel made with
polymers and resins combined to
created a strong nail lacquer resulting
in a chip-resistant and long lasting
nail color. China Glaze also comes
in a variety of fun colors that match
any season or occasion. China Glaze
Sunsational Nail Lacquer ($7.50) can be
purchased online at ulta.com.

AvedaSunCare Protective Hair
Care for Your Hair
13
We’ve all been there. The day you spend too much
time in the sun, check the mirror after and realize your
hair is a few shades lighter. The sun’s rays aren’t just
potentially damaging to skin, but also to your hair. What
if we told you that we have just the product to protect
your hair from damaging sun rays? Consider today
your lucky day. Aveda SunCare Protective Hair Veil is a
lightweight, water-resistant hair mist that helps protect
your hair from sun exposure for up to 16 hours.
The benefits minimize color fadage, damage
and dryness. Not only is it a dream come true for your
hair, but it’s also easy to use. All you have to do is
spray a coat evenly on dry/damp hair before and during
sun exposure. Make sure to reapply after swimming.
The Aveda SunCare Protective Hair Veil ($27) can
be purchased online at aveda.com and is a must for
protecting your hair this summer!
Shick Hydro SilkDisposable Razors
14
Ohhh ladies! Looking for some must
have razors this season? We love everything about
Schick Hydro Silk razors. The original “hang out in
your shower” version is great but we’ve found that the
disposables are just as awesome. They are such must
haves for this season’s skin baring activities. Headed
to the beach and forgot to shave your legs? Worry
not! We love how these razors have 5 blades for that
ultimate close shave. As we all know, a close shave
means smoother skin and these disposable razors are
dynamic at giving the skin that “baby smooth skin” after
each and every shave.
Wanna know the best thing about this razor?
The water activated serum creates such a slick shave
that you really don’t even need to use shaving cream!
Not having to tote the shaving cream means you’ll have
more space in your suitcase for an extra pair of sandals
or two. We also love how comfortable it feels in the
hand. The rubber handle is great at helping at providing
enough control throughout the shave. Yep, we’re
impressed! Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razors ($9)
are a must have in your travel bag this summer. You
can find them anywhere disposable razors are sold.

After a long day at the beach
or being outside in the hot
sun - there’s nothing more
rejuvenating than taking a
warm shower and exfoliating
your skin to get rid of all the
dead skin from the day. Not
even after a hot day – but
any day in general! Exfoliating
your skin is healthy to do a
few times a week to remove
any dead skin cells.
That’s why we chose Carol’s
Daughter Body Cleansing
Scrub as one of our
products. Not only is this a
natural product that is free
of parabens, petroleum,
mineral oil, sulfates and
artificial oolors, but this
exfoliating body scrub is
safe for any skin type and
is delicately scented with
a relaxing Lavender and
Vanilla, which will leave your
skin silky smooth and softer
than you’ve ever felt before.
Carol’s Daughter Body
Cleansing Scrub ($18)
can be purchased online
at carolsdaughter.com.
Take our word for it, you’ll
never want to use any
other exfoliating body scrub
after you’ve used Carol’s
Daughter!

Josie Maran Model Citizen 100% Pure Argan Oil with Radiance
We’re big on beauty trends and we love
to stay on top of what all of the celebrities are
wearing. It looks like the biggest thing this season
is argan oil. Brands everywhere are dumping this
moisturizing oil in everything from hair products
to skincare products. Supermodel turned beauty
guru Josie Maran is known for her argan oil beauty
products. In fact, her name is synonymous with
argan oil. This summer she is doing something a
little differently and giving us some shimmer! The
1.7 oz bottle of Josie Maran Model Citizen Pure
Argan Oil with Radiance ($30) is an absolute must
have for guys and girls who love a little go.
This multi-purpose oil is loaded with Vitamin E and a captivating honey
lavender chamomile scent. Free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates, this
preservative-free oil works all over the skin, in the hair and on the nails.
We love how subtle the shimmer is. It is the perfect amount of glow for the
summer! You can get this oil at Sephora stores and online at Sephora.com.

ConairSatin Flat Iron
17
There’s nothing better than silky smooth hair for any
occasion. In the worst part of summer, weather can be
a major factor in determining the fate of how your hair
will end up. Whether you’re going to a formal event or
out for lunch, the Conair Satin Flat Iron was specifically
built to make your hair straighter and smoother than it’s
ever been before. Who wants a frizzy hair do? Not us!
The Conair Satin Flat Iron features Conair’s Instant Heat
technology that includes 25 variable temperature settings
for every type of hair. You have the option to select the
temperature range that’s suitable for your hair type to
help you create the look you want. The Conair Satin Flat
Iron ($20) can be purchased online or in stores. You can
kiss your frizzy hair goodbye for good from the
moment you put this flat iron through
your first section of hair until
the very last time you
use it (if that ever
happens).

Nuance Salma HayekWheat Protein Repair & Restore Shampoo
No matter the hair type, we can all agree on one thing: good
hair is healthy hair. Are we right? Since many of us guys and
gals consider our hair to be our crowns, our guide would
not have been complete without featuring a shampoo that
promises to keep those tresses perfect. If you aren’t a fan of
having sulfates and parabens in your hair care products, you’ll
love this Nuance Salma Hayek Wheat Protein Repair & Restore
shampoo ($7.99). Affordable and effective, this shampoo
contains Vitamin B5 so it is fantastic for weak tresses that
could use more bounce and sheen.
Afraid of using just any kind of shampoo because of
your color treated hair? Worry not! This shampoo is color
safe making it fantastic for those with natural hair color and
those who have dyed hair. We’ve also found that this shampoo
does beautifully at thoroughly cleansing the hair after jumping
in the pool and after hititng saltwater oceans. You can get this
shampoo from CVS.com and CVS stores nationwide.
Make Up For EverAqua Rouge
19
You know a lip color is going to be some kind of
awesome when it has the word “aqua” in it. If you are
the kind of gal that loves sporting beautiful and bright
lip colors, you are going to love Make Up For Ever’s
Aqua Rouge lippies ($24). The most frustrating thing
about this product is trying to decide which lip color
you’re going to choose. If a bright pink isn’t up your
alley, the brand carries several subtle and neutral
shades. The Aqua Rouge makes this year’s Health &
Beauty Guide simply because we find it to be a great
product to use while lounging at the beach or pool.
Of course no one really has time to keep applying
lipstick every time they hit the waves but the Aqua
Rouge lip stain just doesn’t budge. You can literally dive in 12 feet of water and emerge with
beautiful fuschia lips. We couldn’t make this up. If you prefer to have a bit more sheen to your
lips, the dual-ended lipgloss tube has a gloss at the end for eye catching sparkle. We are
enormous fans of these babies! They are sold exclusively at Sephora and on Sephora.com.
“You can literally dive in 12 feet of water and emerge with beautiful fuschia lips.”

LUSHSea Vegetable Soap
Get away to the ocean
23
The brand LUSH always knows how to make bathing and
beautifying fun. Long gone are the days of jumping into the shower
only to have a boring bar of soap to greet you. If you’re anxious to
hit the ocean but your vacation isn’t until next month, LUSH has
a fantastic way of keeping the anxiousness down a bit. A bar of
Ocean Sea Vegetable Soap ($7.95) will have you cleansed and
even more ready to hit the waves.
Made with actual seaweed and salt, this
sudsy soap not only hydrates the skin but
it moisturizes it as well. The scent instantly
took us away to the ocean and we loved
how it wasn’t an overwhelming fragrance.
Perfect for men and women, this bar is a
must have for all ocean lovers. You can
get it online at LUSHUSA.com or at a
LUSH store near you.
