Here in Nashville, it’s officially summertime this July, with pretty consistent 90 degree weather every week. I am so excited to spend some major time outdoors and in the sunshine. That’s where I thrive! Is your calendar booked out with BBQs, summer trips and dinners out with your girlfriends, too?
Something important to me during summertime? Keeping my beauty routine super simple. The easier, the better, am I right? So in that vein, I wanted to offer some of my favorite effortless ‘wake up & go’ tips for my hair and skin this month. Sound good?
First and foremost, if you’re someone who spends any amount of money at the salon highlighting, toning or coloring your hair to that perfect shade, this is for you. There’s nothing worse than slowly seeing that beautiful color start to get brassy, dull and washed out a few weeks after your appointment. It kills me!
ENTER: MONAT’S COLOR LOCKING SPRAY.
How it works? It’s so, so easy! Simply apply a few sprays evenly to your towel-dried hair. Comb through and style as usual. This product:
• Seals the cuticle to lock in color and prevent fading
• Protects against UV rays and environmental factors
• Lightweight formula will not weigh hair down
• Helps prevent damage and dryness & smooths and controls frizz & flyaways

NEXT UP: SUN PROTECTION MADE SIMPLE.
How does this sound: a better, cleaner sunscreen option for you and your family. We all know how vital sunscreen is during the summer. But a lot of sunscreens can leave your face feeling oily and cause breakouts if they’re too heavy.
• MONAT’s Sun Veil is SPF 30 and offers a creamy blend of mineral-rich zinc oxide, hyaluronic acid, botanicals, and antioxidants to provide physical sun protection and hydration.
• It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and ideal for all skin types and skin tones. It also protects against harmful UVA/UVB rays, and is reef safe. Win, win, win.
GET THOSE PERFECT BEACH WAVES ASAP.
There’s nothing better than putting down the blowdryer & the straightener during the hotter months. If you don’t have naturally thick, wavy hair, I’ve got you! The easiest way to achieve that beachy look? With the help of a few key haircare products. After you’ve showered & towel-dried your hair, add a dime sized amount of your fav styling product, like the Instant Sculpting Taffy or Curl Cream. Then loosely braid your damp hair and let it dry. Once dry, spray lightly with Dry Texturizing Spray. Voila! Effortless, summer beach waves.
*Note: the tighter you make your braids, the more of a crimped look you’ll end up with!
A MAKEUP-LESS SUMMER
The secret to a flawless makeup look this summer? Healthier, hydrated skin. Yup, it all starts with your skin health. You could have the most amazing makeup products but if you haven’t nailed down a skincare routine that works specifically for your skin type, it won’t matter. For me, I swear by MONAT’s Be Purified skincare lineup for both my daytime and nighttime routines. My complexion has honestly never looked better.
MONAT offers three different skincare lines, one for sensitive & drier skin (Be Gentle) another for combination to slightly oil skin (Be Balanced) and another for oily, acne prone skin types (Be Purified). Something for everyone.
