When the sun starts to heat things up, your hair and skin can definitely feel the effects! Thankfully we have two beauty experts on hand to give us tips for healthy hair and skin this summer!

DUSTIN GAUTHIER

Dustin is a very talented hair stylist working in Dallas! A Louisiana native, he is well aware of how heat and humidity can effect your hair! We sat down with Dustin and asked him about tips and trends for healthy, stylish hair this summer!

What are your must have products for effortless summer hair?

My favorite products for summer are Oribe's Balm d'Or Cream and their Dry Texturizing Spray! Put in towel-dried hair, Balm d'Or is the perfect protection from the sun that you're hair needs. I also recommend using their dry texturizing spray to touch up a day old look, or to add volume to lifeless hair!

What trends do you see in terms of color and cut for this summer?

The summer's "it" haircut would have to be a mid-length layered cut! Very textured and wavy, it is stunning and effortless and can be worn at any age! For color, I'm seeing a lot of lived-in color trends! A sun-kissed balyage can be personalized to be subtle and sultry or BOLD and sexy!

What summer styling tips do you have for busy moms on-the-go?

You can never go wrong with a cute curled ponytail. And if that's not your thing, then using a dry texturizing spray in dry hair will give a lived-look that will look effortless yet stylish.

Vivian is experienced in skin renewal and transformation! She is highly qualified in identifying and correcting a variety of skin issues as a veteran Rodan + Fields consultant. We sat down with Vivian to discuss her tips and recommended products for healthy summer skin!

What is your summer beauty philosophy?

Summer is HOT! While we shed the layers of clothes, I like to shed the layers of make-up during the summer season. My year-round make-up philosophy is less is more. I’d rather spend money on good skincare than make-up. I don’t want to cover my skin. I want to improve it!

What are must have Rodan + Fields products for summer?

I definitely recommend Lash Boost, Active Hydration Serum, and Mineral Peptide Make-Up!

Lash Boost is a MUST. This past winter, I stopped getting lash extensions each month, and switched to Lash Boost, and it was one of my best skincare decisions! My lashes are longer, fuller, and they’re REAL! This is a nightly serum applied to the eyelid, so I still use mascara in the morning to darken my lashes. I use Rimmel Waterproof Mascara, which can be purchased at your local drug store for under $9.

Remember; spend money on improving your skin, not hiding it.

Active Hydration Serum. Say, what? By now, I’m sure you’ve seen all the commercials and ads for various Hydrating creams…so…what are they? In a nutshell? Unicorn teardrops meant to give you the fountain of youth. Ok, but seriously, that’s how they make me feel. I don’t understand the science behind it, but hydration molecules are different than moisture. Active Hydration basically balances oily skin, firms skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and adds a radiant glow to your skin. Sounds too good? Yea, that’s why I call it Unicorn Tears. Get it, trust me.

My favorite make-up: Mineral Peptide. Not only does it give you light weight flawless coverage, but it also contains peptides! Peptides are an anti-aging ingredient to visibly firm and reduce the appearance of your skin. If you don’t feel 100% comfortable going make-up free during your summer activities, then grab this make-up. It gives you instant foundation free cover, immediately evens skin tone, and the peptides are working their long-term magic on your skin.

What are your other summer beauty tips?

I quickly learned in college: if you can’t tone it, tan it! After two kids, and working full time…I’m tanning it. I love a good spray tan. If you’re a local DFW girl, then I recommend Airbrush Spraytan by Jana {254-913- 1609 in N.Richland Hills}. Jana will travel to the privacy of your home and give you a nice airbrush tan.
