What’s in our Beach Bag: The Ultimate Beach Vacation Beauty Essentials

Share this:

Aloette Beach Bag Blog

Lake days and beach vacays are just around the corner, which means it is time to stock up on beach bag essentials. Get you and your skin ready for fun in the sun with must-have products that are perfect for anyone who enjoys lounging by the pool or playing in the waves. Of course, SPF and a good hair brush are always on the list, but here are some beauty essentials that we here at Aloette just can’t leave the beach house without:

Vitamin C Serum

No beach bag is complete without a Vitamin C serum. Of course, SPF is the go-to for sun protection, but Vitamin C is another ingredient that can help protect the skin and improve the look of dark spots or imperfections. This is because Vitamin C is high in antioxidants—a naturally occurring compound that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while reducing the look of an uneven skin tone. So, if you are headed to the beach, try applying a Vitamin C serum to the face, neck and chest for added protection before you lather up in your favorite sunscreen.

Try: C the Light | Powered by a blend of citrus fruits that are rich in Vitamin C, this daily serum helps brighten the look of skin while helping to reduce the look of dark spots, uneven skin tone and fine lines.

Hydrating Body Mist

Salty air might look great on your hair but it is a definite no-go for your skin. Combine it with the bright sun, ocean water and sand and your complexion will basically beg for a dose of hydration. So, give your skin the love it needs and carry on with your beach vacay using a spritz of hydrating body mist. This multi-tasking product is the perfect beach bag essential as it helps restore the skin with antioxidants while misting the complexion in a lightweight veil of hydration.

Try: Tropical Gardens Body Collection| With an invigorating Coconut and Turmeric scent, the Aloette Tropical Gardens Collection with transport you to a tropical oasis with 3 must-have products. Including a body wash, body lotion and hydrating body mist, you can boost hydration and refresh the look of skin with clean ingredients. Pack the body mist away in your beach bag, then wash away the salty air and moisturize the skin with the body wash and lotion.

Protective Lip Balm

Don’t forget your lips! While you’re busy coating your skin in SPF and Vitamin C, it can be easy to forget this one important area of the face. In fact, the lips are fair more delicate than the skin, which means they are at risk for dryness and flaking—especially when sitting in the hot summer sun. Steer clear of dry, chapped lips by ensuring to pack a hydrating and protective lip balm in your beach bag. Look for moisturizing ingredients, like Shea Butter, and antioxidant-rich ingredients, like fruit extracts, to help protect the lips from environmental stressors while lounging on the sand.

Try: Complete Contour | A Hydrating Lip Balm that packed with Raspberry Oil and Cocoa Butter to help lock in moisture, plump the look of your pout and protect the lips from daily stressors.

Aloe Vera Gel

If there was ever a seaside product praised as much as SPF, it’s Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is rumored to have a lot of “miracle” properties, but we personally love it for it’s ability to help reduce the look of redness and improve the look of an uneven skin tone. It is also high in antioxidants to help protect the skin from potential age-accelerating environmental stressors (i.e. the sun), making it an excellent pool day or beach day essential. You can apply it at the beach for extra hydration or apply it after your shower to help soothe the skin.

Try: Leaf Relief | This CBD Infused Gel wraps the skin in  lightweight hydration while helping to smooth, soothe and protect the skin from environmental stressors.

The Complete Guide to Aloe Vera in Your Skincare Routine

Leaf Relief with Aloe and white

 

The ingredient that gave us our claim to fame, Aloe Vera is an ingredient old as time. Loved by Cleopatra herself, this green plant has been praised for centuries for it’s “healing” properties and toted as a secret ingredient to help improve everything from hair to teeth to *weight loss*. And while legend and science might debate those claims, there is one thing we know Aloe Vera is good for: your skin.

If you’ve followed our brand for some time, you know that clean, Aloe Vera based skincare is what we do best. Our line of skincare and beauty products are specially formulated with this ingredient at the center. Want to know why? Keep scrolling to find out for yourself and discover the skin-loving properties of Aloe Vera:

`What Are the Benefits?

  • Reduce the look of redness: Aloe Vera is packed with antioxidants to help reduce the look of redness after exposure to the sun. This is why the lightweight gel that is extract from the plant is such a popular topical lotion for sunburn. And even if you aren’t planning for a trip to the pool, Aloe Vera is a great for helping protect the skin from environmental stressors throughout the day.
  • Hydrate the skin: If you’re looking for a boost of hydration, try adding a moisturizer that is formulated with Aloe Vera into your skincare routine. Aloe Vera absorbs quickly into the skin—making it a great match for oily complexions—and seals in hydration by helping maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
  • Minimize the look of blemishes: Just like a sunburn, Aloe Vera helps reduce redness caused by other skin concerns, such as blemishes. It’s cooling sensation combined with antioxidant rich properties help improve the overall look of uneven skin tone while helping to soothe the look of skin.

What Ingredients Can I Use with Aloe Vera?

Aloe Vera is super versatile ingredient that compliments most skincare formulas—which is why we love it! We use Aloe Vera in everything from our age-defying retinol products, hydrating foundation and brightening Vitamin C serum. You get the picture.

But if you are really trying to indulge your complexion to a “chill pill”,  we recommend you reach for the Aloette NEW! Leaf Relief CBD Infused Aloe Gel. This lightweight formula melts right into the skin to help refresh the complexion and soften the look of skin. Made with premium CBD extracted from American hemp, this gentle gel locks in moisture and conditions the look of skin for prolonged relief and total complexion relaxation.

Confidence Talks With An Aloette Skincare Influencer

Share this:

An Aloette Influencer Holding Coffee Mug

We sat down to chat with one of our Aloette Influencers, Aline Lyra, for a conversation about self care, growth, and confidence. Keep reading more to find out how she’s been able to unlock her best self within Aloette.

What does beauty mean to you? 

To me beauty means being happy, feeling comfortable and confident in your own skin. Being your true, free self and embracing your imperfections. 

What are your top three self care rituals?

Taking care of my skin is one of my biggest self care rituals – it is my time to pamper myself and treat my skin. It helps me unwind and reflect on my day.

Reading is another self-care ritual that I made sure is a part of my routine daily. I’m a reader, and promote literacy to children so naturally books are a big part of my life. I always make sure to give myself at least 15 minutes of reading time (whether it is reading a physical book or listening to an audiobook). 

Learning to say no is another skill I’ve been prioritizing when practicing self care. I used to say yes to everything, which often left me stressed, overwhelmed and in a rush mode because I added too much to my plate. Now I pick and choose what I want to do, and always make sure that it is something I enjoy and want to be a part of. This has helped me slow down and pay attention to my own needs.

How did you find Aloette? 

I learned of Aloette back in January, when I was looking for a new skin care and make up company to transition to. My sponsor at the time had just joined Aloette and introduced me to the opportunity, and I couldn’t refuse it. 

How has Aloette helped you evolve in life?

Aloette has given me the tools that I needed to continue to practice self-care and make sure that I am making myself a priority. The products have helped my skin care routine be more enjoyable while the Aloette culture has given me the support and empowerment to build my confidence and become the best version of me. 

What Aloette products help you feel like your best self? 

Restorative Enzyme Peel is my go to product for skin care! It’s an easy product to add to my skin care routine and self-care ritual. Not only can I use it on my face, but it has helped with keeping my eczema more in control. Being a busy mom and woman, exfoliating can often be forgotten but with Enzyme Peel I’m able to add it to my day without taking too much of my time. It’s so satisfying to see the results right away – soft and glowing skin within minutes! The Golden Hour Palette is a favorite at my house! Both my daughter and I love using it on a day to day basis. I love how I have everything I need in one compact to make simple or more dramatic makeup looks for anytime of day. 

What would you say is the best advice you could give someone who is on the dance about joining Aloette? 

Just do it! Aloette not only has amazing products to elevate your skin care routine, but also has an incredible culture that will support and empower you. Being a multi business owner, I love that Aloette does not make me choose what to focus on. Having the flexibility to work the business at whichever level I want (influencer, part time or full time) is one of the best things I love about Aloette. 

What are some ways that you keep yourself feeling confident? 

Having a positive mindset and not falling for the comparison trap by lifting myself up (with lots of self talk!) and focusing on my uniqueness and strength. I also surround myself with positive people who have the same mindset and thrive on empowering others. While now I feel more confident with my natural beauty, I do love a good lipstick and accessory that helps highlight my features and give me an extra boost of confidence!

Discover the Ultimate Skincare Routine for Your Lips

Group Image of Lip Products for

The days are getting longer, the temperatures are swiftly rising and wearing your favorite sundress season is right around the corner. And while you might be busy adjusting your spring skincare routine to the warm weather (as you should), there is one important part of your routine that’s important to remember: your lips. Sunny days and steamy temps can take a toll on your pout. Even behind a face mask, the lips take on a lot, which is why it is so important to give them the attention they deserve.

So, if you find yourself wishing for softer, smoother lips this time of year (aren’t we all), keep on scrolling to discover the Aloette 3-step skincare routine for totally kissable lips:

 Step 1 : Exfoliate the Lips

Everyone gets chapped lips from time to time—that’s why exfoliating your lips 1-2x times a week is vital if you want smoother and healthier-looking pout. Using a lip exfoliator or balm made with gentle exfoliants can help slough away the dry, dull skin that can build up on the lips over time. Even better, incorporating a lip scrub that is packed with hydrating ingredients—like Aloe Vera, Peppermint and plant-based oils—will help nourish the lips while helping to exfoliant. No dryness here!

Try: Soothe N’ Smooth | Help revive the look of dry, flakey lips with a 2-in-1 Lip Balm & Exfoliator. This gentle lip scrub is formulated with nourishing Aloe Vera and invigorating Peppermint to help exfoliate dead skin, remove product buildup and soothe the lips as it locks in moisture.

Step 2: Help Hydrate and Plump

Just like you prime your skin, you need to prime your lips to help boost hydration and encourage a smooth lipstick application. Try reaching for a Hydrating Lip Volumizer that indulges the lips to nourishing skincare ingredients while helping amp up the volume and soften the look of your lips. Ingredients like Aloe Vera, Acai Oil and Cocoa Butter are great lip hydrators, as they are gentle enough on delicate skin but moisturizing enough to help smooth lines and plump the look of lips.

Try: Complete Contour| Formulated with Raspberry Oil and Cocoa Butter, this Hydrating Lip Volumizer coats the pout in a lightweight balm that delivers instant hydration while helping to smooth, soften and plump the look of dry, chapped lips.

Step 3: Add Color and Shine

 The moment we have all been waiting for. Now that your pout is prepped and primed, it is time to add a burst of lip color. Whether you prefer a glossy look or a matte lipstick statement, make sure to swipe on products that will continue to hydrate your lips—not take away all your hard work! Reading the ingredient list and selecting lip-loving formulas that feature plant-based oils, extracts and vitamins is a fool-proof way to make sure your pout is getting the hydrating skincare routine it needs—even under your lip color.

 Try: Liquid Lip Shine | Available in 8 flattering colors, this high-shine gloss is packed with Vitamin E and plumping peptides to help deeply hydrate the lips and indulge the pout to a sheer wash of color and dewy moisture.

An Aloette Skincare Influencer Talks Beauty Club, Her Favorite Products, and Her Aloette Journey

Share this:

Aloette Influencer Blog Feature

We caught up with one of our Aloette Influencers, Brooke Norlin, for a conversation about her favorite Aloette perk-Beauty Club Subscription Box. She also shared her Aloette journey with us as well as some of her best skincare advice and some of her favorite products. Keep reading to find out more about Brooke!

What brought you to Aloette? 

“Aloette was a perfectly placed beacon of light while I was at a crossroads in my direct sales career. A friend introduced me to Aloette and I quickly learned they were everything I had been looking for in a company to work with. Amazing products people love, online growth opportunities, and longevity of consultants!” 

What is your favorite part of being an #AloetteInfluencer? 

“I love how flexible it is here. I don’t mean that I can run my own schedule (which is true), but I mean that I run my own business. Aloette provides the tools and products and allows me to promote and grow in the style that suits me and my network best.”

The theme for this month’s Beauty Club box was “Rest and Restore.” What do you do to rest and restore? 

“It’s going to sound cliché, but it’s true. My skincare routine. I carve out 20 minutes at night to dedicate to me and caring for my skin is a big part of that. I had very sensitized and damaged skin from years and years of using harsh products to rid myself of adolescent acne. So, it is my way of truly caring for myself and unwinding from the day to dive into my skincare routine. I also love the beach! Nothing restores my soul quite like the ocean.”

What was your favorite item in this month’s Beauty Club box? 

“Hands down, Beauty Sleep. I love that it’s that extra boost of hydration, but it’s a bonus that it helps with the inflammation of any acne flare ups. Beauty Club is my favorite subscription box! Not only am I spoiled once every other month, but it allows me to try products I might not have thought of for myself.””

What is your favorite Aloette product and why do you love it? 

“I’m a skincare girl at heart, but one thing that has impressed me in a big way is the Ultra Finish Foundation. I have always been a liquid foundation wearer, but this powder has converted me!”

What is your best skincare advice? 

“Be consistent. No matter where you are with your own personal skincare, you need to be consistent. Whether you carve time out in your day to rest & restore, or you only have 30 seconds to wash your face in the shower, don’t skip it. Be consistent!!”

What is going to be your go-to makeup routine this Spring/Summer? 

Ultra Finish Foundation and A-List mascara! Light, simple and flawless!”

Beauty Club is an exclusive subscription box for Aloette Influencers to try new products at a great price. Once you become an Aloette Influencer you’ll be able to sign up for Beauty Club and receive a box full of goodies every other month for just $34.99 USD or $39.99 CDN. You do not want to miss out!

The Skincare Products You Need to Kick Off Your Morning Skincare Routine

Skincare Swatches For Morning Skincare Routine

 

A nighttime skincare routine might get all the attention, but we are here to put the spotlight back on morning skin. While PM skincare is made for prevention, AM skincare is made for protection—meaning both are equally important when it comes to the overall health of your skin.

Help armor up your complexion for the day ahead with hydrating, revitalizing and protective ingredients using these 4-morning must-haves for your skincare morning routine:

Revitalizing Cleanser

Yes, your face cleanser washes your face, but did you know that its key ingredients can change your skincare game? Using a cleanser with peptides and antioxidants in the morning can help restore the look of the complexion while adding a skincare “pick-me-up” to your day. Both of these ingredients are a great way to revitalize the look of skin in the morning, plus they help protect the skin from environmental stressors and promote a firmer-looking complexion.

Try: Pure Radiance Revitalizing Cleanser | An age-defying cleanser that is formulated with peptides and skin-brightening ingredients to help promote healthy skin renewal and a refreshed appearance.

Antioxidant Serum

Serums receive a lot of praise for their concentrated formulas. No matter which ingredients you’re after (Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, etc.), these multi-tasking wonders definitely pack a punch into any skincare routine. But if you are looking for a serum to amp up your mornings, try reaching for a lightweight serum that features antioxidant-rich ingredients. Incorporating antioxidants is an easy way to help protect the skin from environmental stressors throughout the day while also encouraging healthy skin renewal down the road.

Try: C The Light Vitamin C Serum | Infused with five forms of Vitamin C – orange peel, lemon peel, citrus essential oils, mandarin orange and citric acid –  this unique serum helps encourage a brighter, smoother and more even-looking complexion in as little as four weeks.

SPF

Yep, you know the drill. While we might sound like a broken record, there is truly nothing more important to your skin than a good SPF. Applying a lightweight sunscreen in your AM skincare routine will help defend the complexion from the UVA and UVB rays you’re sure to encounter throughout the day. Even if you tend to spend the day indoors or live in a state prone to cloudy weather, arming your complexion is SPF protection is a skincare must!

Hydrating Lip Treatment

Don’t forget the lips. Just like your under-eye area, the skin on the lips tends to be more delicate than the skin on your face. For this reason, they crave an extra dose of love and care. Give your lips the attention they deserve by applying a hydrating lip treatment in your morning skincare routine. Ingredients that help lock in moisture and soothe dry skin are the perfect way to keep dry lips at bay while also helping to lay the perfect base for a smooth lipstick application.

Try: Complete Contour Hydrating Lip Volumizer | Formulated  with Cocoa Butter, Raspberry and Acai, this soothing lip treatment helps soften, plump and smooth the look of lips by coating them in a layer of hydration

What Exactly is Your Skin’s Microbiome and Why Is It So Important?

Share this:

Talking about your skin’s equilibrium and natural flora might not sound like the most indulgent topic, but it is vital to understanding the health of your complexion. Microbiome is a word we’ve started to hear floating around a lot lately, especially in the skincare community. And while peaked interest in our skin’s natural balance is always a good thing, it can leave some people scratching their head.

If you’re one of those people, Aloette is here to help! So, let’s dive deep into the science of your skin and why is so important to help keep your complexion balanced with these quick facts about your skin and it’s microbiome:

What Is Your Microbiome?

Even though you can’t see them, there are billions of microorganisms living on your complexion. Sure, it’s not the most luxurious image, but this natural flora is what makes up your skin’s microbiome. Why the biology lesson, you ask? Because the skin’s defense lies in the hands of these lively little micros. Think of your microbiome as a microscopic eco-system—in order to keep the complexion looking happy, you need to care of the little guys on the surface.

Why Is It Important to Keep the Microbiome Balanced?

Like we said, the beneficial flora on your skin does a lot. From locking in moisture to helping defend the skin from age-accelerating environmental stressors, these micros work overtime to keep your complexion looking healthy and clear. And in order to keep your skin looking its best, you also need to put in the work. Just like any other living creature, the natural floras on your skin need fuel to do their job. Applying ingredients like prebiotics and probiotics to the complexion can help restore these beneficial micros and encourage a more balanced complexion. Without this, skin can go rouge and experience issues with blemishes and uneven texture.

What Skincare Products Can I Use to Help Promote a Healthy Microbiome?

Again, skincare products that contain pre and probiotics is the perfect place to start! These ingredients help restore the beneficial flora to the skin, ultimately helping to amp up the glow and overall appearance of the complexion. Thanks to the recent surge of interest in your microbiome, there is plenty of skincare to choose from, including cleanser, serum and moisturizer products. Here at Aloette, we personally love to replenish with a daily serum. The concentrated ingredients and lightweight formula are perfect for a quick pick-me-up that absorbs into skin and works at the surface during a busy day or while you sleep!

Try: Beauty Biome Microbiome Complex Serum | The latest addition to Aloette Farm to Jar Collection, Beauty Biome is infused with prebiotic and probiotic ingredients to help balance the look of your complexion. Perfect for both a morning and evening skincare routine, this multi-tasking serum helps hydrate the skin, reduce the look of uneven texture and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

How to Achieve the Ultimate Lash Look (No Falsies Here!)

Share this:

If the mask madness of the year past has brought us anything, it is a newfound appreciation for eye makeup. Back in the day, my beauty bag staple was a glossy lip or bright red pout, but nowadays, I tend to opt for a fresh face and lengthy lashes (for obvious reasons).

It is no wonder lash lifts and eyebrow tints have quickly gained traction in the beauty world, with influencers and consumers alike doing anything they can to lengthen, strengthen and volumize their appearance. But, if you want to achieve the ultimate lash look without the help of falsies or extensions, Aloette is here to help!

Keep on reading to discover must-have products, plus application tips, to help you define those lashes and make eyes pop—even with a face mask:

Apply a Hydrating Lash Serum

It’s easy to see why lash enhancements and falsies are on the rage, but if you truly want lashes that flutter, you need to start at the root. Using a lash serum to coat the eyelashes in hydrating and conditioning ingredients—like peptides and plant extracts—is an easy way to help boost both strength and length. Just like a face serum works below the skin, lash serums work to help enhance the look of eyelashes over time while preventing fallout. Just remember, consistency is a must!

Try: Luscious + Luxe Lash Enhancing Serum | Formulated with an innovative peptide complex, this oil-free lash serum is clinically proven to help lashes appear thicker, longer and stronger in as little as 4 weeks.

Multi-Task with Your Mascara

Get the best of both worlds with a jet-black mascara that doubles as “lashcare”. We all know mascara is one of the quickest methods to up your lash game in a hurry, so why not add a stroke of color and conditioning ingredients in the same swipe? Multi-tasking mascaras come in many forms, but they typically include a 2-in-1 formula that is infused with nourishing minerals and oils to help hydrate the lashes and prevent breakage. This also makes an infused mascara a must-have for any girl on-the-go, as it helps color and condition the eyelashes for extra length and curl.

Try: A-List Lash Curling Mascara with Argan Oil | Infused with Argan Oil, this A-List Lash Curling Mascara helps condition lashes while coating them in a clump-free formula that curls and defines.

Mind Your Makeup Application

The truth is you can stock up on all the makeup products your wallet can afford, but if you aren’t using them properly, you probably won’t see results. If fuller-looking lashes is what your eyes desire, then you might need to double check your makeup application. While it can be tempting to add a single swipe of mascara (especially on the days the snooze button calls your name), applying multiple coats in multiple directions is the key. Always remember to swipe the top of your lashes, then use the brush to stroke the lashes in towards the nose, out towards the hairline and then straight up! This ensure the lashes are completely coated. You can also use a liquid eyeliner or pencil eyeliner to tight-line your water line for a fuller-looking lash effect.

Got Protection? 4 Ways Your Morning Skincare Routine Can Help Protect Your Complexion

Share this:

Let’s be honest…sometimes we can take our skin for granted. As the body’s largest organ, our skin works overtime to help protect us from the dirt, oil and grime that our body is exposed to both morning and night. And as our first layer of defense against the outside world, it is important that we prep our complexion the way you prep an army going into battle (seriously)—starting with our morning skincare routine!

If you want to protect your skin from environmental stressors while helping to prevent the look of fine lines and dark spots, then listen up. Aloette is here to share 4 steps you need to add to your morning “defense” skincare routine:

  1. Use a Cleanser to Help “Detox”

Start your morning off right with a quick “reset” of the complexion. We all (hopefully) know why cleansers are a MUST in any skincare routine, but did you know that the type of cleanser you use is what truly changes the game?

If you are looking to amp up your skin defense during the day, try to incorporate a morning cleanser that helps “detox” the complexion. Washing your face in the AM with ingredients like charcoal or fruit enzymes will help draw out pore-clogging impurities while polishing away dry skin. Not only does this help prep your complexion for the rest of your routine, but it also helps cleanse away any dirt or oil that developed during your beauty sleep.

Our Pick: City Detox Environmental Defense Powder Cleanser| Just add water! City Detox is a fine-grained powder that transforms into a rich cleanser to help exfoliate the skin and wash away dirt, oil and makeup.

  1. Apply a Vitamin C Serum

There is good reason Vitamin C receives so much hype in the skincare industry. Vitamin C equals skin defense. It’s that simple! This antioxidant-rich vitamin is known to help improve the look of dark spots, uneven skin tone and texture—all while helping to brighten the look of skin and protect the complexion for the day ahead. The best part is that there are so many easy ways to add this ingredient into your skincare routine. If you want to help protect your skin from environmental stressors throughout the day, just add a Vitamin C serum or Vitamin C moisturizer into your morning skincare routine.

  1. Don’t Skip SPF

Sure, we might sound like a broken record, but there is a reason why EVERYONE in the skincare world preaches the importance of SPF. A good sunscreen helps shield your complexion from the UVA and UVB that can damage the skin and lead to early signs of aging. In fact, SPF is one of the simplest ways to help prevent fine lines and dark spots thanks to its ability to protect the skin from sun burn and future sun damage. So whether you are spending the day outside or indoors, make sure to apply a quality broad spectrum sunscreen to your face, body and hands.

  1. Set Your Makeup with a “Defense” Mist

Many of us like to lock our makeup in place with a hydrating setting mist, but why not lock your makeup in place AND help protect your skin? Ever since hitting the market a few years ago, setting sprays have quickly become popular for their long-lasting and multi-tasking abilities. If you want to add an extra layer of defense to your morning routine, try completing your makeup look with a lightweight mist that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors. How do you find such a mist? Simply look for a setting spray that contains ingredients high in Vitamin C and antioxidants–like Green Tea and Grapefruit Extract—to help protect the skin throughout your busy day.

Our Pick: Set + Shield Environmental Defense Makeup Setting Mist | The multipurpose formula covers skin in a lightweight veil of vitamin-rich ingredients that helps protect skin from environmental stressors, like pollution and daily grime.
