Summer Staples

Those of us who complain about the cold weather in the north during the winters had better be enjoying all the heat we are being served up right now because it won't be long before the cool weather creeps in. While we are still in the sweltering days of summer, I have one question for you. Have you been taking good care of your hair and skin? If you need a little refresher on what to do, you've come to the right place.

First...let's talk hair.

Frizzy, tangled, unmanageable hair? Sounds like the result of a well spent summer day! Whether the wind or water is to blame, Revlon has you covered with an array of brushes to keep your hair smooth and shiny this summer without any hassle. Brush up on your summer hair routine with the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler, a paddle brush that shortens your styling time.

The Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler is a two-in-one powerhouse that reduces styling time and delivers smooth, frizz-free results in half the time. The lightweight, ergonomic design allows you to comfortably dry and style hair using just one hand to smooth out hard to reach areas, especially the back of the head where many people struggle to get smooth results.

Hey guys...don't worry. I didn't forget about you. This is a perfect addition to your daily routine. Summer is officially underway, and we are smack in the middle of the hottest and stickiest months of the year. It could be your commute to and from the office, or chilling at the beach with your friends, but perspiration (and smell) is bound to happen. Yikes!

Whether you’re kicking off another summer day or winding down after a long one battling the heat, the perfect way to feel refreshed and rejuvenated is jumping in the shower. And! The frozen pear (yes!!) and bergamot notes of AXE Black Body Wash are the perfect way to chill out and wind down. Sounds so yummy and the bottle looks so sexy, you simply can't go wrong!
