Summer Essentials! Feat Dove, Neutrogena & Gillette

I think we are finally started to see a bit of warm weather here in Sydney, so it's a perfect time to tell you about a few things I'll be using for these upcoming warmer months!

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash



The thing I love most about this cleanser is the scent, it's so amazingly summery and fresh smelling that I could happily use it as a body wash. I love that when I wash my face with this at night it feels so squeaky clean and I feel like it's really done it's job. I do find it a little drying though so make sure if you have dry skin to try and limit your use of this or do what I do and make sure you apply a really hydrating cream afterwards (I use this at night only and use my night cream afterwards). RRP $14.99AUD

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Daily Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF30+



If you ever learn anything from my blog, please make it that wearing a sunscreen everyday is essential (even if it's overcast outside). I've been using this Neutrogena one and loving it. I use the hydrating formula and what I like most is that it sinks into the skin quickly. I've recently learnt that you apply facial sunscreen first and then moisturiser, hands up if you were doing it the other way (I was!). The only thing I don't like about this product is the packaging, you really have to squeeze the bottle quite hard to get product out. RRP $14.99AUD

Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion



I really start to feel it's summer when I pull out (or go buy another bottle) my Dove Summer Glow! I started using this product when it was released I think about 2 years ago now and it's my absolute favourite gradual tanning product. I love the smell, to me it embodies summer. I buy it for myself in the medium/dark even though i'm quite fair but I find it just gives me the most amazing golden glow. As with all gradual tanners you apply this daily and it builds up to a nice colour. Once it gets too dark I switch to a regular body moisturiser for a few days and go back to this when it starts fading. If your not the best at applying fake tan this is an absolute fool proof gem! It comes in a bunch of sizes too, but I get the big bottle! RRP $6.99 - 16.99AUD

Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Razor



So it's beginning to get sunny outside, if your anything like me you've let your legs into such a terrible state that we may need to call in the tree loppers to take care of the situation. Enter a gorgeous razor that not only smells absolutely devine (white tea! yummmm!) but actually does the job and does it easily with a super close shave....plus it's pink which is a major plus in my books.

I'm not a waxer, I'm a shaver! I love the convenience of knowing if I have a bit of stubble on my legs and need to wear a dress or shorts, I can just go over my legs with the razor and go out the door with smooth legs.

I also adore the moisturising bars on this razor, it eliminates the need for another product in the bathroom and makes it such a good option to take travelling as well. Have I mentioned the smell? Yes? well again....YUMMMMMMMM!! RRP $18.15AUD (for the complete system)

I will be doing a few summer essentials posts in the future so keep a look out for those! 

Most of these products can be purchased in Priceline and Supermarkets.

All products were purchased by me, except for the Gilette Venus Spa Breeze Razor which was sent for consideration.

Don't forget to wear your sunscreen!!! :)
