“Spring Beauty Update” — As Deen on KUTV’s “Fresh Living” in Salt Lake City

Just a few days before the official start of spring, I chatted with Kari Hawker Diaz, host of KUTV’s “Fresh Living” in Salt Lake City, about some of the beauty products we should all stock up on to get ready for the new season. Check out our chat above (or click here to view the segment on KUTV.com) and read on for details on all the products seen on air!

OLAY REGENERIST WHIP SPF 25

As temperatures start to rise, we’ll we want to set aside those dense, rich, heavy facial creams and opt for more lightweight and breathable formulas. One excellent choice is the Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 25, a fast-absorbing and lightweight moisturizer that offers built-in sun protection so you can incorporate SPF into your daily routine in one simple step.

The dermatologist-approved formula features ingredients like vitamin B3, which helps to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and allow it to retain hydration, and peptides, which help to firm skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The airy texture is delightful and goes on nice and clear, plus it has a lovely matte finish so your complexion will look fresh and shine-free.

The Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 25 is just $30 at Olay.com or you can check out your local retailer for curbside pick-up.

NIVEA BREATHABLE BODY LOTION IN TROPICAL BREEZE

After a grueling winter, chances are your legs and arms are looking a little rougher than you’d like — never mind your elbows, knees, and heels! Luckily, you can quickly kiss dry winter skin goodbye with the NIVEA Breathable Nourishing Body Lotion in Tropical Breeze ($6.99 at Target). Featuring ingredients like shea butter and soybean oil, this game-changing, fast-absorbing formula provides deep nourishing moisture, but it does so without leaving skin feeling sticky, greasy or balmy. Within seconds of application, the skin drinks up this fresh-smelling lotion, leaving it looking and feeling softer and smoother

Not only is the quick absorption rate an alluring quality, but the floral and fruity quality of the Tropical Breeze scent captures the optimism of spring beautifully.

EUCERIN DAILY HYDRATION LOTION  SPF 15

You might still be wearing long sleeves and light sweaters, but that won’t last long! As you start shedding those winter layers and flaunting your legs and arms, it’s important to protect skin from harmful UV rays. Dermatologists warn that it’s incredibly easy to unwittingly get a sunburn in the spring. Why? Because the sun’s UV rays are becoming more intense throughout spring — even when it’s still a bit cool and breezy outside. We tend to associate sunburns with sweltering summer days, but the truth is UV rays can wreak havoc even before the warm temperatures kick in.

To avoid sun burns and sun damage, safeguard your skin with the Eucerin Daily Hydration Lotion SPF 15 ($9.99 at Target), which boasts a fast-absorbing formula that leaves skin feeling moisturized for 24 hours while providing protection from harmful UV rays.

AQUAPHOR LIP PROTECTANT + SUNSCREEN

And here’s an important tip: when it comes to SPF, never skip the lips! See, because our lips have very thin skin and they produce only a small amount of melanin, they’re more vulnerable to sun damage.

To keep your pout pretty and protected, you can apply the Aquaphor Lip Protectant + Sunscreen ($4.89 at Target). Formulated with shea butter, castor seed oil, and provitamin B5, this ointment works to immediately soothe chapped and cracked lips, plus it features broad spectrum SPF 30.

MAUI MOISTURE FLEXIBLE HOLD + COCONUT MILK CURL FOAM MOUSSE

For bouncy curls that evoke the happiness and freedom we associate with spring, try incorporating the the Maui Moisture Flexible Hold + Coconut Milk Curl Foam Mousse into your styling repertoire. The brand new lightweight foam styling mousse helps to define curls, add volume, and retain your natural curl pattern — all without leaving hair feeling crunchy (which can often happen with traditional mousses)

Like all Maui Moisture products, the fist ingredient in the formula is 100% aloe vera (as opposed to water, which tends to be the primary ingredient in many a hair product), and this botanical base helps to quench tight curls, making them look and feel hydrated and healthy.

The vegan and clean formula also features coconut milk and mango butter to moisturize and nourish curls without weighing them down. To use, you just dispense the foam onto your hands and apply it to damp hair, scrunching your curls as you move from one section to the next.

It’s under $10 at local drugstores such as Walgreens and Walmart.
