Camp Skin Authority

We are so excited to be launching Camp Skin Authority this month as an opportunity to transform the seclusion and uncertainty of stay at home time into an engaging adventure! As we started to practice social distancing we saw that our normal lives began to change. Children were home from school every day turning parents into homeschool teachers, couples were suddenly co-workers, and people around the world found themselves at home wondering what to do next. As we saw people struggle to come up with ways to entertain their families and themselves we thought we could do something to help… and Camp Skin Authority was born.  We had our coaches (or in this case counselors) come up with camp kits that include some of our product paired with an activity, education, and the opportunity to share with the greater Skin Authority community. Each kit was created to help you with self-care and ...

3 Super Easy Steps to Glowing Holiday Skin

Let’s be honest: while the holiday season comes with a lot of joy and excitement, we all secretly dread its approach. Many of us are heading back to our hometowns to visit with loved ones, and that also comes with seeing many people we haven’t seen for a long time, and, of course, you want to look your best. Luckily, we’ve got your back (and your face, and your legs…), and we’ve discovered the exact skin care recipe to get your skin ready – no matter the occasion.  Step 1: Exfoliation! The harsh conditions that winter brings can be huge stressors to your skin. It’ll be more prone to drying out and chapping, which is why you should start out with a bit of exfoliation with Skin Authority Bamboo Ginseng Scrub. This exfoliating scrub gently washes away rough, dry skin, while simultaneously hydrating your skin and soothing your senses with essential oils. ...

SkinSuit : #SkinSuited

Sunscreen. You apply it daily (or at least you know you should be!). But do you really understand the protection that the largest organ of your body needs?

Red, White & BeYOUty!

Skin Authority user @jessicataylorstevenson  What exactly IS a sunburn? Is it really possible to make the pain, redness and embarrassment go away? Yes, it most certainly is… It’s all fun in the sun until someone gets burnt- sun-burnt that is. With summer solstice in full swing, we’re all heading to the beach to soak up the rays and the long summer days. But there’s no enjoyment when you forget to reapply and you’re paying the price of hot, irritated, painfully red skin. And hopefully, the discomfort you’re dealing with will serve as a nice reminder for next time to never forget your Daily Defense Moisturizer.  But, in the meantime, there’s no reason to drive yourself crazy waiting for the sting to subside and your skin to inevitably start peeling. Read on for our tips to keep redness at bay! What is a sunburn anyway? Simply put, it’s the skin’s response to UV exposure, an ...

Detox Your Mind this Holiday Season!


During this most wonderful time of the year, it’s easy to forget about how important our own self-care should be. Sometimes the beauty of giving to others is overshadowed by the stress of crazy highway traffic, mall shopping, and finding the perfect gift for that one special person. But practicing self-care doesn’t have to be an expensive massage at a five-star hotel. Rather, a spa-like retreat is the most attainable luxury this holiday season with our Well-Being Bath & Shower Retreat. 

Cleanse

No daily ritual is more important than a warm bath or invigorating shower experience. This cleansing routine is key to keeping your skin bright, healthy, and free of pore-clogging enemies. It’s essential to wash with a cleanser that won’t strip skin of moisture and much needed vitamins in the winter. Our Well-Being Bath & Shower Retreat provides non-irritating cleansing action that not only hydrates skin all-over, but will calm breakouts ...

Our Olive, Fig, and Shea Butter Body Cream has natural ingredients that will soothe, polish and keep skin nourished in one self-care swoop.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO SENSITIVE SKIN


Sensitive skin is a difficult issue to diagnose. It can be any number of things that can cause hives, inflammation, unruly zits, and blemishes, or flaky skin. Whatever the reason, we have a solution! Below is a quick list of some remedies that you can use to calm your face and ease your mind.
UH HUH HONEY

The easiest remedy that we’ve found is so sweet and simple. One word, one ingredient: honey. That’s right. Raw honey is nature’s own skin care product. It works as an antibacterial agent (less pimples, faster healing wounds) as well as a moisturizer. On top of that, it preserves your skin’s acid mantle (the thin layer that your skin produces to prevent infections and breakouts). So next time you’re at the store, make sure to pick up some raw honey and spread that sweetness.
FACIAL SNACKS

Sure, oatmeal and yogurt make for really great snacks. But did you ...

Don’t Forget These Travel Essentials!


Newsflash: Summer’s not over yet! You still have plenty of time to book that trip you’ve been planning on getting to all year. And once you do, you’ll need to have some particular travel essentials tucked away in your luggage. Sure, there are the basic needs like a toothbrush, shampoo, and some good deodorant. But the following products should get you to where you’re going feeling refreshed and ready for fun in the sun!

 
SUNSCREEN

This is a must-have in your bag even if you’re not going to a place where the sun is blaring. You’d be surprised where UV rays can pop up, so it’s always important to protect your skin against them. We suggest having our Age-Defying Moisturizer (coupled with our Super C Serum) in your arsenal for maximum protection. Our Age-Defying Moisturizer is a lightweight sunscreen to guard you against the sun while the Super C Serum is packed ...
