That warm weather and outdoor fun in the sun means the need for lots of sunscreen is rather obvious, but I also like to use products that give skin a lovely and subtle shimmering glow, and those that refresh and cool down the skin. As the weather has started to heat up here in Los Angeles, I thought that I would share three affordable favorites from Mario Badescu that keep you looking and feeling cool and radiant.
Mario Badescu Summer Shine Body Lotion is a delectable lightly rose scented hydrating body lotion that sinks in quickly and leaves behind gorgeous luminosity. The shimmer is subtle, but it captures the sun beautifully and causes the skin to glow.
According to Mario Badescu,
Enriched with Vitamin A, this greaseless body lotion subtly shimmers for a radiant glow. Reduces the appearance of dull, dry skin with natural moisture retaining ingredients like Beeswax and Peanut Oil. Makes a great accessory for those sexy halter dresses!
Directions: Apply liberally all over body after bathing or as needed. Not for facial use.
Ingredients: Deionized Water (Aqua), Peanut (Arachais Hypogaea) Oil, Octyl Palmitate, Retinyl Palmitate, Myristyl Myristate, Dimethicone, Beeswax, Stearic Acid,I sopropyl Myristate, Sodium Benzoate, Quaternium-15, Diazolidinyl Urea.
$10.00 for 8 oz. $22.00 for 16 oz. from Mario Badescu, Amazon and Gilt.
Mario Badescu After Sun Cooling Gel is a delightful rose scented hydrating gel that drenches the skin with moisture. This is a non-greasy and fast absorbing gel that can be used any time that you want to cool down the skin, and I always keep a bottle in my refrigerator for a little refreshing pick-me-up. Toss a bottle in your cooler for your next picnic or trip to the beach– you'll be glad that you did!
According to Mario Badescu,
Enriched with Aloe to soothe skin and reduce the sting and discomfort of a sun burn. This non-greasy, lightweight gel cools immediately upon contact.
Directions: Gently apply to irritated, sun burned skin as needed. Do not apply to broken or blistered skin.
Beauty Tip: Keep this product refrigerated for extra cooling effects.
Ingredients: Deionized Water (Aqua), Lubrajel, Rose (Rosa Damascena) Extract, Aloe (Aloe Barabadensis Leaf) Extract, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Menthol.
$14.00 6 oz. from Mario Badescu, Amazon and Gilt.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater is the perfect rose scented hydrating spray! It leaves the skin soft, supple, hydrated, refreshed and luminous. Like the After Sun Cooling Gel, I have a bottle of this facial spray in my refrigerator at all times, and I use it frequently during the warm months. Pop a bottle into your cooler along with the After Sub Cooling Gel, and you will be ready for a warm day at the beach!
According to Mario Badescu,
A refreshing, hydrating mist to use anywhere anytime. Simply formulated with fragrant Herbal Extracts and Rosewater for a pleasant, pick me up for dehydrated, tight and uncomfortable skin. Spray your day and night creams for a boost of hydration or use it to set make-up or spray on dry hair throughout the day. Safe for all skin types. Gentle, non-irritating.
Directions: Mist on face, neck and hair as needed. Will not disturb make-up.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water, Eau), Propylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Rosa Canina Extract, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Leaf Extract, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Parfum (Fragrance), Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Chloride, Citronellol, Geraniol, CI 17200 (Red 33), CI 42090 (Blue 1).
$7.00 for 4 oz from Mario Badescu, Nordstrom, ULTA and Amazon.
Overall Assessment: If you are seeking refuge from the heat, and want a few hydrating and refreshing products to add to your summer product top picks, then I highly recommend these three fab finds from Mario Badescu!

We are always commenting on sunscreen but not about after sun products. What great choices.
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia, I have been enjoying these three so much lately that it occurred to me that I should review them together. They are so perfect for this warm weather, and popping the Gel and spray in the refrigerator is so refreshing that once you do it you won't ever want to be without them!
DeleteI'm totally with you on the MB Facial spray! Gotta look into the After Sun Cooling Gel - cooling down the skin is what we need around these parts lol.
