Summertime is finally here in SoCal which means it's time for the short shorts, minis and....dryness. EEK! During the super hot months here in LA I take about 2-3 showers a day because of how hot and sweaty I get which means that I then have to apply lotion an equal amount of times to avoid looking like I rolled around in chalk. There are so many great lotions that I've used that keep me hydrated but take too long to apply because of their thickness. Doing it once a day isn't bad, but when you're doing it three times a day, it becomes a bit of a pain!

Thankfully, St. Ives sent me this amazing package with two of their brand new lotions to try out that come in yummy scents and deliver a continuous spray of light lotion that's easy to blend. Along with the lotions I received an awesome beach bag, a sarong and even a cute pair of shades! I received the package the day before I went away to Tulum so the timing couldn't have been more perfect. I planned on spending a lot of time on the beach and needed a lotion that was light enough to mix with my sunblock and these were perfect. The St. Ives® Naturally Indulgent Coconut Milk & Orchid Extract Fresh Hydration Lotion was my favorite because it has more of a tropical scent but I like that the St. Ives® Smooth & Glow Apricot Spray Lotion gives off a fruitier scent that's also nice but not my favorite of the two.

What I really like about the lotions are pretty much already said. They smell amazing and are really light. It takes me about 1 minute to rub it all over my arms and legs and my hands aren't left feeling sticky and gross afterwards. I totally plan on using these throughout the summer and will keep one in my new beach bag so that I'm always prepared to fight the dryness before it gets out of control!
