Happy Father's Day everyone!!!

While this represents a great day to celebrate your husband, your dad or family members/friends that are fathers, it also indicates that we are very close to the 4th of July. The 4th of July to me at least always feels like the first day that I am going to have to get in a bathing suit in public. There's always some pool party or something at the beach. In addition to boosting my cardio and sculpting work-outs, I like to really up the stakes in my skin care routine.

One thing that really makes a difference for your skin (especially if you plan to apply a little self tanner), is sloughing off dead skin and exfoliating all over. This makes your skin soft and gives it a healthy glow -- which is nice for bikini season. (By the way, if you are using a self-tanner, make sure it's paraben free!!)

Belli's Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator is a great pre-bathing suit body scrub.  It is rich in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Super effective at sweeping away old skin cells to reveal that healthy skin.
