Surf’s Up with Skin Therapy/Evolution Surf’s New Spa Therapy Sprays

Summer allows us the freedom to push the beauty envelope in several ways. First off, there’s the less is more makeup rule; hoping that the Midas touch from the sun will eliminate the need for foundation and blush. Another is the desire to forgo our usual heavy fragrances in favor of either something light for those humid dog days or no perfume at all.

Evolution Surf has created a two-fold answer to this summer beauty dilemma. So, pack away the heady florals and musky ambers and say hello to their new Spa Therapy Sprays.

Bringing the beach to you, these handmade, all-natural sprays not only come in three intoxicatingly scrumptious scents, Coconut, Mango-Cucumber, and Tiare, and contain grape seed extract that soothes and hydrates skin while protecting against age- accelerating UVA rays. Perfect for endless days romping in the sun, whether you’re a surfer or simply a bathing beauty

These high performance sprays are packed with numerous antioxidants that energize and rejuvenate your skin while imparting delicate summer scents. I decided to test these bad boys out on my recent Memorial Day Weekend trip to the country. I spritzed myself prior to heading out on a day- long boat trip and was delighted to see the cool mist absorbed almost instantly into my skin.

Out of the trio, I couldn’t pick a favorite since each spray has its own unique skin saving features. The coconut therapy spray is infused with malachite and grape seed extract that is said to improve skin elasticity and boost skin rejuvenation. In addition to smelling yummy enough to eat, the mango-cucumber spray uses magnesium to tone skin while powerful antioxidants reduce inflammation and boost collagen production. Not to be outdone, the Tiare spray, which emits the hypnotic essence of the sweet Tahitian tiare flower, combines with zinc to calm and relax skin. The tiare flower is believed to have natural skin healing properties and works wonders for eczema and other skin conditions.

At the end of my day in the sun, I not only smelled divine, but my skin felt smoother and more supple, even after being exposed to the elements. I recommend using the spa therapy sprays in conjunction with sunscreen to really cover your bases. These sprays are equal parts chic and practical and we love when beauty and function collide to make a wonderfully effective product. Bravo!
