*** Honeymoon Beauty Tips ***

by Lisa Johnson, makeup artist of Brides by Lisa

For your honeymoon, streamlining your beauty routine is a good idea.  Since it’s your honeymoon, you’ll want to keep the fun and romance going, and you’ll want to simplify things by using these beauty tips and products.  You'll be sure to look polished and beautiful in a flash, no matter what you have planned.

For starters, travel sizes that are TSA approved are a MUST and there are some great skincare products out there. You can also decant what you use into TSA approved travel containers and bottles.  Be sure to store them in a cute carrying case - this also helps organizing by the side of the sink and you have everything at your fingertips.  Keep an eye out when shopping for your favorite products travel kits. Some of my FAVS:


OLE HENRIKSEN Normal to Combination Skin Starter Kit - I love their complete day-and-night skincare kit for normal-to-combination skin types.  Great travel sizes to bring on your trip!  You'll be fully covered with beautification day and night.  SEPHORA

SUN SAFETY - Don't forget the sunscreen!  I'm partial to waterproof sunscreens and one of my favorites for the face and body is Coppertone Sensitive Skin 50 - YES 50! - contains Zinc Oxide, non-greasy, Oil-Free, free of dyes and alcohol.  Waterproof - and mostly it absorbs across 100% of the UVA/UVB spectrum.  Won't irritate the eyes or sting and is frangrance-free.  Look for this great sunscreen at your local drugstore and Wallyworld.  Also comes in a Body formulae. Don't take a chance with your honeymoon being ruined by a burn!  PROTECT!  WALMART

SUNBURN RELIEF!  You know it's inevitable, somewhere on that beautiful bod you will have not protected, or stayed out too long and you have a burn that hurts.  Don't let this stop you from enjoying your honeymoon one second. Lather on the tried-and-true NOXZEMA deep cleansing cream - the original formula.  You'll feel a cooling sensation immediately andthe moisturizing will give you double duty.  Always wear sunscreen and always have a backup sunburn relief plan.  It works!  WALMART
