Summerize Your Skin & Beauty Routine With These Products
The heat is rising, and the clothing is shrinking. Hello, bikini, sandal, and sundress season! It’s time for summer vacations, time on the beach, weekends on boats, and happy hours on rooftops. Are your skin and hair prepared for the sun’s rays and the extra exposure?
Today, I’m sharing my favorite summery products to leave your skin looking flawless and your hair hydrated and protected. I’ve discovered some innovative new products that will battle the aging effects of sun exposure, so you can enjoy your time on the beach without wondering whether you’ll be paying for good times with wrinkles later.
Dry, flaky skin and sunburns are the worst. Don’t let them get the best of you this summer! Summerize your skin with a beauty routine that will help you look and feel your best. Oh, and don’t forget to drink lots of water, too!
LOTUS MOON’S PAPAYA ENZYME MASK
Lotus Moon Skin Care believes in healthy aging, not anti-aging. That plump ‘bounce-back’ skin from your 20’s & 30’s begins to change dramatically once you enter your 40’s, 50’s and beyond. This is a natural part of aging. Skin changes… and no one should be using the same skincare routine year after year.
They believe that aging is a natural part of living and should be celebrated not feared. Lotus Moon Skin Care targets the biological skin changes that occur as we age so we can feel confident in our glowing skin.
As the season changes so should our exfoliation ritual. Regardless of skin type, once the summer heat hits, most will notice a change in their skin. Lotus Moon’s Papaya Enzyme Mask is like taking your skin on a tropical vacation. It decongests pores and revives dull skin. It also provides gentle, yet effective exfoliation, improves circulation, tone, and texture of skin. This “exfoli-cation” is literally nutrition for the face! It’s plant-based, Cruelty-free and made in the USA.
SUN PATCH
We love the sun but hate the effects it has on our skin. Sun Patch is designed to protect your extra sun-sensitive areas against harmful UV rays.
From mountain tops to desert valleys, you can protect your skin with long-lasting sun protection designed for ultimate comfort inside and out. Sun Patch developed their peel-and-stick sunblock patches by infusing high-quality medical-grade silicone with a UPF 50+ UV-blocking formula and adding a silicone gel adhesive, while leaving out chemical additives. The patches are waterproof, latex Free + phthalate free + hypoallergenic, and they’re reusable.

PINCH
Pinch is reimagining the way people get injectables. It’s the fastest-growing aesthetic service created by healthcare professionals to provide clients with a personalized in-home injectables experience. On demand and in the privacy of your own home or office, you can Pinch Yourself or host a Pinch Party with complete confidence. They offer uniform pricing regardless of where you schedule your Pinch to take place.
Since Pinch doesn’t have the overhead costs of a physical location, they buy directly from manufacturers to ensure the best quality products. Xeomin® is offered at $12 per Pinch (unit), and our Providers are trained to treat conservatively (particularly with new patients or new treatment areas).
Filler treatment with Belotero® costs $500. Touch-ups in multiple areas of the face may be possible with a single syringe. The number of Pinches and/or syringes to achieve a desired result varies by individual; book a consultation with an expert to discuss your personal treatment goals.

Pinch is launching in Chicago this month and will soon be in other major US cities. You can download their app and be one of the first to get Pinched.
By using Pinch you’re supporting a local medical professional becasue they get to keep most of the fees from each visit. Pinch provides training, product and liability insurance. The person coming to your house has been fully vetted, trained and is a licensed medical professional in Ilinois. Jacob Avraham founded Pinch with Nurse Practitioners in mind. As a Chicago-based surgeon, he has experienced the ebb and tide of personnel and the overall volatility of healthcare staffing.
