Summer-ready skin in two easy steps from Reversa and Coppertone!

It's that time of year when it's essential to lighten up your skincare - without skimping on moisture or forgetting the all-important sun protection - my favourite products right now to achieve everything my skin needs are:

Reversa Hydra-Minéral Concentrate - 50ml - $42 - a natural answer to well-hydrated and stronger skin with a 99% natural formula that is oil, alcohol and silicone-free and without synthetic perfume. Aside from delivering deep hydration, this concentrate also helps to protect against pollution, minimizes the appearance of pores, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and increases skin firmness.

With a light formula that absorbs quickly into the skin containing: fragmented hyaluronic acid - has a small molecular weight and can penetrate deeper to hydrate and plump the skin; sodium hyaluronate - a larger molecule which stays on the surface of the skin and hydrates the epidermis for a complete hydrating action; hyaluronic acid - with a unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules to improve hydration, skin smoothness and firmness; Canadian glacial oceanic mineral water - a source of various nutrients and minerals (e.g. sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur  and zinc) to regenerate and protect the epidermis, ensuring a constant moisture level and reinforcing the skin barrier; coconut water; malachite extract - rich in copper, has a strong antioxidant activity as well as a detoxifying action; yeast extract - a natural ingredient, rich in glucomannans (high molecularweight polysaccharides) and able to combat harmful environmental stress; and rose water - organic rose distillate with astringent and toning properties. - which work together to hydrate and strengthen the skin and make it more resistant against pollution and external aggressors.

I especially enjoy the light natural fragrance from plant extracts, the pump bottle and how it leaves my skin looking radiant and healthy!
