Maybe I’m just a kid at heart, but I swear that there are plenty of elements in sunscreen for the little ones that I desperately need too! I’ve been using Aveeno’s Baby formula face stick for years and swear by its longevity and efficacy, and just started in on the Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Sensitive Skin Face Stick Sunscreen SPF 50 (around $10.49) this summer to great results. After a recent visit to the dermatologist who told me that I needed to be extra careful about the existing sun damage on my ears (guilty as charged- I’ve been neglecting them!), I’ve found that this stick is the perfect applicator to reach tiny areas quickly without the mess or the anxiety of getting a glob of sunscreen in my tresses. So I guess working easily around small areas also applies to babies too, right?
I also like that this formula includes 100% naturally sourced sunscreen ingredients, and is a wonderful option for use on the face as it is non-irritating, hypoallergenic, non-greasy and water resistant for up to 80 minutes. The less fuss and re-application, the better! If you aren’t a fan of the face stick, reap all of the protective and sensitive skin benefits in a liquid lotion version (also $10.49).

[Glam+Go stations at Mark Garrison]
I first mentioned Glam+Go back in March of 2016, not too long after the blow out service had launched, which conveniently sets up outposts at gyms, hotels, spas, and salons so that you don’t have to change your lifestyle in order to squeeze in time to get your hair styled. Now with 10 locations, if you are in NYC or Miami (and soon Santa Monica), achieving professionally-styled hair is never very far away or difficult. I went to one of the newest locations, found on the third floor of the Mark Garrison Salon in Midtown East, and had the wonderful Signature Blowout ($45), which included a wash and style. If time is still of the essence, wash your own tresses but pop in for an Express Style that can include curls or braiding ($25), and if you’ve become a total Glam+Go convert, consider an unlimited monthly blowout membership (prices vary).
The newest locations are all open now, located in Flatiron (27 W. 20th St within RPZL), Park Avenue (108 E 60th St. within Mark Garrison), East Hampton (68 Newton Lane within Elements Fitness), and coming in July: 4 Astor Place (within New York Sports Clubs). A special new addition can be found at the RPZL location, which also offers clip-in extensions as well as the regular menu of services. With Glam+Go’s expansion comes a great opportunity to simplify your routine and more frequently indulge in the quintessential professional treatment for your soon-to-be-gorgeous hair.
Full Disclosure: Fashion Pulse Daily received a complimentary service for editorial consideration.

The older I get, the more I desire to use natural products. Especially when it comes to anything I put on my skin, the less chemicals or unknown ingredients, the better. I’ve been seeing out items that proudly state they are certified organic, fair trade, and/or free of toxic ingredients. Lotion is one of the items that I’ve been more of stickler for when it comes to keeping it natural, and luckily, there are plenty of options out there, at a nice variety of price points. Today I’m sharing my top eight picks broken into two categories: under $12 and over $12, so that no matter your budget, you can find the perfect natural lotion for you!
$12 & Under:

As many areas of fashion and beauty get switched up when the summer season begins, there is a strong inclination to treat fragrance the very same way. Special editions, lighter sprays, new ways of distributing the scent, and summer-centric florals and fruits make their way into the season’s most popular options. Here I’ve included eight fragrances that for the most part, have come out in the past year, while some have just found their way into new products like hair or body spray and an ultra-convenient travel-size version, perfect for summer vacation and that ever-shrinking carry-on liquid quart bag. I hope you discover a new favorite! Fun tip: store your fragrance in a dry, cool place, and consider placing it in the fridge for a refreshing burst of cool mist when applied.
