Summer Skin Care
Ever since my *melanoma diagnosis, I’ve (obviously) been very diligent about applying sunscreen every day during the summer. I even keep bottles of my favorites in my purse for the days I am out and need to reapply.
Over the course of the last few years, I’ve been simplifying my life, and that includes using cleaner ingredients on my skin, like mineral-based face care and sunscreen. My favorite sun care line is Alba Botanica. Alba Botanica follows a simple mission: Do Beautiful. They are “dedicated to making high quality, 100% vegetarian products that overflow with botanical ingredients.”
I personally love these three products: Soothing Sunscreen Pure Lavender Lotion SPF 45, Sensitive Sunscreen Fragrance Free Clear Spray SPF 50, and Sunless Tanner for the days I want a little more glow.
I reached out to Alba Botanica to tell them how much I appreciate their products, and they were excited to give someone a FREE Skincare Sampler!

*Here is a quick recap of my journey: I was diagnosed with superficial spreading melanoma in February 2015. In March I had a mole removed on my right shin. That summer, I was literally terrified of being outside, and immensely embarrassed by my scar. Last summer, still embarrassed by my scar, less afraid of the sun, I enjoyed summer a little more. Fast forward to this summer: I’m growing comfortable in my own (pale) skin and wearing shorts and dresses. (If you happened to read the link above, you learned that I was extremely grateful that my melanoma was superficial spreading, and that the doctor caught it relatively soon. I know that cancer of all kinds is very scary, and I am, by no means, diminishing its severity in this post. I am simply sharing my journey, and hoping to help and inform others with my favorite skin care products.)
Thank you to Alba Botanica for providing these awesome skin care products. All opinions are my own.
