For the summertime I find it essential to have Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads on hand. In a nutshell: these pads are the only anti-aging, exfoliating, self-tanner that come in the form of a 3 in x 3 in pre-moistened towelette (it also contains Active Vitamin D).  The genius behind these pads is Dr. Dennis Gross who is a trusted NYC dermatologist who created the his at-home skincare line to supplement his practice.

I may have mentioned this before, and you may have already noticed, but it's HOT outside. Even before the onslaught of heat, I was super self-conscious of the dreaded raccoon eye, because of my oily complexion, so I developed methods to ensure my makeup stayed in place (especially after numerous occasions where I asked the hubby if my makeup was okay, and his response was "yes," only to discover that my eyeliner had actually made a messy migration south of my waterline). But when it's hot outside, I don't necessarily want to pile on products, I'm looking to keep my routine as simple and light as possible. I've found a few products that help me to achieve a simple, yet chic, budge proof look in the least amount of steps possible.
