Nothing like the last long days of summer before it fades into fall. August happens to be my favorite month! Soaking up the last of the warm sunny days and the excitement for back to school and everything else fall brings. So I’ve rounded up my top picks for the final days of summer in The August Edit.
1- New from Alpyn Beauty: Wild Huckleberry Radiance Recovery Peel gives softer, brighter skin with a more gentle method than their regular peel. I happen to be a fan of both, but I’m loving this version which is suitable even for sensitive skin. Find it here.
2- A favorite from RMS, the “Re” Dimension Hydra Powder Blush is beautiful in the package or on your cheeks. It comes in 6 gorgeous shades. Find it at AILLEA.
3- Backpacks without the PFAS. Yes, a lot of backpacks are coated to be waterproof and have the forever chemicals on them. (I shared some info here on PFAS.) While this brand is on the pricey side, it’s good quality and should hopefully last for many years and maybe even get passed down. Plus, it’s sustainably made. Find it here with many color choices.
4- While we’re talking back to school, I have to mention lunchboxes. We’ve tried a lot of plastic-free lunch containers through the years and Lunchbots has won out time and time again because of how versatile they are and for how easy they are to open. They’re easy to clean and completely non-toxic. Find them here.
5- A lightweight moisturizer that lasts: I get asked often for lightweight moisturizers I recommend. Especially during the warmer months. This one is very lightweight but has lasting moisture and hydration. It also works to brighten skin. Find it at AILLEA.
6- Looking for organic towels that also dry quickly? We picked up these towels this summer and I’ve been so impressed. Gorgeous colors and, best of all, they do indeed dry quickly. We use these for the kids, who despite their best efforts, always seem to soak their towels. These have been a dream!
7- Since we still have some weeks of sunshine left, you may still be reaching for sunscreen. Or you’re a fan of everyday protection (which I am for my face). This lightweight version checks all the boxes for an ideal face SPF. It even layers great under makeup! Find it at AILLEA.
Happy August!
