Whether I spend all day on a hike with my bestie or head inside after a swim, I love testing products that make my body feel gooooood. I found the good in Kinfield and Flexsun, two brands that offer protection while trekking to the great wilderness.
For Protection:
Seen on Shark Tank, Golden Hour bug spray is a clean formula that genuinely works. It’s filled with Indonesian citronella plus lemongrass, clove bud, and lauric acid, which repels the mosquitos and other buggies. For my application, I spritz it on my arms, legs, and a place a bit in my palms to rub on my ears, neck, and face. After hikes/camping I noticed once I came home… no bites! Absolutely unbelievable – I’ve finished my full bottle over the past couple months.
Minor cuts or bites go away when I dab on Relief Balm. It comes in a stick formula (similar to deodorant) making it easy to throw in my bag and apply in the blazing sun. The balm base is shea butter, coconut, avocado, sunflower, and jojoba oils and the star players of arnica (anti-inflammatory), turmeric butter (counter redness), and indonesian cajeput which keeps itching at bay. The spicy yet sweet scent is wonderful and awakens my senses once I apply the balm.
Lips need some love too, so the Liplock has a place in my heart. I slather on this lip balm with soothing fruit oils and butters to keep my pout kissable and protected. The fresh strawberry addition imparts nourishing hydration and SPF for sun protection. It isn’t waxy or greasy (which has been a struggle of other balms for me).
For SPF care (even out of the sun), I squirt on Flexpower’s FlexSun Moisturizing Sunscreen in SPF 30. The formula is like normal lotion that glides over my skin and sinks in without a ghastly white cast. The five key ingredients are Vitamin E, Bisabolol, Edelweiss, Green Tea and Turmeric for nourishment and antioxidants.
Back Home Care:
To cleanse off the dirt, products, and sweat from the glorious day, I run a hot bath. Now, in this bath I add Flexpower’s Cool Bath Salts. The Epsom & Sea Salts aid in soothing my muscles and bringing salt back into my system. The eucalyptus, Mountain arnica, and vitamin E soothe, ease, and rejuvenate my muscles. Once the salts dissolve I sit back and melt into the warm waters.
Moving on to conditioning my skin… I start with my lips first. The Lip Conditioner is botanical-based with red raspberries, shea butter, peppermint, and offers a pretty shine. Pro tip: I add this to my cuticles to soften before a manicure. For the body, I rub in the Soothe Lotion and Warm Lotion. This combo is scent-free (great for my sensitive skin) and eases in decreasing inflammation. Kinfield and Flexpower are ideal for all earthly outdoors folks!
