Hi! Are you and your family watching the Olympics like mine?

 I am so beyond crazy proud of all of the United States of America athletes! Go team USA! Now-as I tri train, I have been in chlorine more than I would like to say-in fact I got a weird rash from my time in the chlorine.

Alas-there is a simple solution:

1. When doing alot of swimming or ever using a public swimming pool-rinse immediately, I mean immediately upon getting out of the water. Using soap would really help.

2.Apply a hydrating skin protectant creme. Now for those who don't like petrolatum, this could make you squeamish. Either a petrolatum or zinc based hydrating barrier can help heal the skin from constant chlorine contact.

Or you can wash with a non soap and alkali free cleanser like Sebamed. It's pH 5.5 for healthy skin and I know many a swimmer who has used it to help their swimmer's itch. It has a very light foam and scent and rinses clean. Trust me-after swimmer's itch, it will feel good.

You can find more about Sebamed by visiting www.sebamed.com or checking your local boutique retailer. Remember: you are beautiful! Thank you for visiting the blog and check back for promotions and beauty giveaways!

Hello Gorgeous, I am busy traveling for work and today as with many days I will be outside in the searing 113 degree heat of Arizona. The sunscreen I will be wearing, and what I have been wearing for a week now is a sample from Neova in the DNA Damage Control smart sunscreen line. It's called Silc Sheer 2.0-now from my experience, I really like it. It's smooth, does take a bit of blending, gives a hint of tint and color to my face while also providing spf 40 broad spectrum and water resistant sunscreen protection. So for me-so far so good! It's retailing online from $24 to $45 in price point depending on where you shop. Now what I did notice is the reviews: seems many loyal users do not like the new formula (hence the 2.0) or the pump or the tint saying that it's chalky compared to the previous version. Well, I didn't try the previous version and so far, my experience with Neova silc sheer 2.0 is good! Today will test it's mettle as I am in the sun, in the water-all day long! Notes to follow soon!
