In the Bag: Springtime Skin Prep

The weather is warming up, and that means it's time to prep your skin for the spring season. To ensure glowing skin by swim season, here are the three products to purchase ASAP. 

EXFOLIATE The first step to glowing skin is exfoliating two or three times a week. A harsh scrub might irritate the skin, so try something gentle and soothing like Bobbi Brown Beach Body Scrub. 

HYDRATE Skin is happiest when it’s hydrated. For a little bit of luxury, I suggest La Mer The Body Creme. Incorporating a micro-algae complex to calm dry skin and blue algae to brighten and clarify, this moisturizer can whip tired-looking skin into shape within days. 

BRONZE The final step is to get a soft healthy glow. Since it's a bit too early in the season for a deeper summer tan, I suggest going with a softer glow. Laura Mercier body bronzing makeup will do just that (and conveniently washes off in the shower if you don't want anything too longlasting).
