Love Your Skin All Summer with CVS

As a busy mom and full-time freelance beauty writer who works super hard all year round, summer is my time to kick back and relax. I semi-unplug, slow down the pace and indulge in tons of outdoor activities with my two year old. Y’all — I give myself full permission to  LET GO!  But the one area of my life where I’m never caught slipping — is summertime skincare. Repeat after me: Summer is not the time to neglect your skin!

Summer Skin Care

I actually step up my skincare game for summer because I want to make sure I’m providing my skin proper hydration and sun protection from head-to-toe. Naturally,  I tend to spend way more time outside, so my skin needs extra care. I regularly exfoliate, moisturize and protect my full body.

And because I  prefer to spend more time chill-laxing and less time shopping, I always do a start-of-summer stock up on face & body essentials like cleanser, body wash, SPF, etc. And a BOGO opportunity is  the best time to gather my  summer skin care arsenal…and save some cash!

Did someone say BOGO?

ThisThatBeauty & Dr Gohara for CVS Love Your Skin

Speaking of personal skin care advisor, I recently had the opportunity to get a little personalized skin care guidance myself. CVS invited me to join Dr. Mona Gohara, Associate Clinical Professor, Yale School of Medicine, Department of Dermatology for a chat on my favorite topic — skin care!

I love that Dr. Gohara is incredibly passionate about skin health. Don’t let the white lab coat fool you…on set, she was down-to-earth and totally relatable. I asked her tons of questions about maintaining glowing skin and she happily answered them all. [You’ll have to watch our video to hear the full scoop.] Dr. Gohara has a way of making you feel like you’re old friends….I, seriously, wanted to go home with her at the end of the taping! Proper skin care is such an important part of my life, so it was a real treat to be able to spend such thoughtful, focussed time with a true skin care expert like Dr. Gohara.

At CVS.com/LoveYourSkin, you can watch the latest video from Dr. Mona Gohara. You’ll see me… with fellow beauty know-it-all Amber Katz,  and  bloggers Evann Clingan  and Ellen Schmidt.  We chat everything you need to know to help skin survive the brutal summer months. And if you need an incentive– watch our  video and you’ll get a $1 off coupon!

  • I learned how important whole body exfoliation is and to save time to bring those products in the shower

  • shelly peterson says:

    I learned that you only have to exfoliate twice a week but you should moisturize your skin at least twice a day. #CVSLoveYourSkin

  • I learned that you don’t have to exfoliate daily but rather a couple times a week for a great glow. #CVSLoveYourSkin

  • I learned that you should use your exfoliation products in the shower to save time.

  • Never thought to moisturize the body twice a day for maximum hydration, I’ll have to try that.

  • One of the better tips was to exfoliate and properly moisturize the skin on your body like you do your face. The skin is the largest “organ” of the body. #CVSLoveYourSkin
