We all know that changes in the season can affect our skin, but what we do not always know is how to modify our skin care products and regimes to counter act these changes. There are ways to work around the fluctuations in the weather and to ensure our skin is healthy and radiant no matter what the time of year.
With each shift in the season we have to reassess our skin and then reevaluate our skin care regimen. Also, using pH balanced products that protect the acid mantel, a natural protective barrier, is vital no matter the season.
In the spring we are out and about again after being cooped up all winter long, and we have to watch for excessive sun exposure. The sun can break down our collagen and elastin causing pre-mature aging of the skin along with sunburn. We must protect our skin during this time of year by using proper skin care products and sunscreen.
Energize is our light weight facial moisturizer equivalent to a 5% SPF. It also contains ester C which protects the skin from sun exposure and guards your collagen and elastin from breaking down as quickly. Contour oil is our essential body oil that contains ingredients rich in antioxidants and free radical scavengers which promote the appearance of anti-aging as well as ingredients such as Kukui oil that can protect our skin from the sun.
In humid and warm climates, a lightweight moisturizer may work best for you unless your skin is extremely dry throughout the year, as you do not lose as much hydration due to the moisture-rich air. For a light weight body moisturizer, try the botanically enriched Hydrate. If your skin feels increasingly oily in the spring an astringent toner such as our facial Mist which contains peppermint and witch hazel to calm and cool the skin, or an oil control facial mask such as Purify may work wonders for you.
Don’t forget to protect your lips with our Planet Beach Mint lip balm containing a SPF as well. Aside of the products that you can use to counteract the spring changes to your skin, you may also love our facial and full body Red Light services.
For those that know me, know that I’m joking with that opening statement, but like I always say, “If you can’t love yourself, how’s anyone else ever going to love you? lol”
We all know that smooth and flawless skin will always be on trend, but unfortunately it tends to be difficult to maintain. Well, at least that is what I thought until I was introduced to pbRenew 3-Step lines from Planet Beach.
The Perfect 3-Step Kits To Fit Any Of Your Needs!
The pbRenew product line has something for everyone, whether you are suffering with troublesome acne or you simply want to maintain awesome skin (some of you are just that lucky!). If you suffer with acne, like I have – off and on throughout the years – and struggled with confidence as a result, pbRenew Clear is the product line for you. PbRenew Clear is the perfect solution for redness control and blemishes. In the past, I’ve had quite an extensive, time-consuming skincare regime that included a mix of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Now, all I use is the pbRenew Clear line with a few sessions of Red Light Therapy each week and my skin looks and feels better than ever! The main ingredient, Aloe Barbadensis, is a botanical extract that acts as an anti-bacterial. Not only does it tame any acne you may have, but it also smoothes and heals rough skin. I keep this product on hand at all times, just in case I’m having a stressful day at the office and get an unexpected breakout! Breakouts happen and as unfair as it is, now there is a way that we can fight back!
Acne not your main problem? PbRenew Maintain may be what you are looking for. After I started the pbRenew Clear, I talked one of my girlfriends into trying this line of products and she swears by them now! This product focuses on keeping your skin smooth and tone. Unfortunately, wrinkles happen and they are basically inevitable. Damn you time and aging! But, that does not mean trying to prevent wrinkles is out of the question. PbRenew Maintain reduces fine lines and small imperfections, all while leaving skin soft and flawless.
Are you looking for something stronger that will focus solely on wrinkles and reversing the signs of aging? I would suggest pbRenew Transform. Trust me, I’m only a year or two away from making the switch myself J! pbRenew Transform is full of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that help transform your skin to what it was like when you weren’t worried about the passing of time. I recommended this product to my sister, who is much older than me (okay only by a few years) and she was happily shocked by the difference of what her skin looked like just by using the product for a week.
Rachel's Favorites!
After experiencing results first hand and having multiple friends and relatives now using the product lines, I think it is safe to say the pbRenew products are absolutely amazing. But, it does not stop at a fantastic skin care line. Planet Beach’s Red Light Therapy maximizes and maintains the results. Over time, the use of red light therapy reduces the size of your pores and evens out skin tone. Religiously using the pbRenew line AND using Red Light Therapy keeps my skin healthy, vibrant and glowing.

When I was younger, I was an avid drinker of Cherry Coke® and many other soft drinks. Actually, I was pretty much a Cherry Coke addict. I could never get past a day without one.
As I grew up and realized losing weight became a little bit harder, I became more conscious of the need to be healthy. Eventually, I took soft drinks completely out of my diet. In the rare occasions where I do drink them, I find the taste excessively sweet. Looking back, it was hard to believe I was putting so much sugar into my body. No wonder I was hell on wheels…
So, how can you give up Coke® and other soft drinks?
Identify why you want to quit soft drinks.
To succeed, you need a strong enough reason. It can be to fit into your “freakum dress”, to be healthy, etc. Use this reason to drive you to quit the habit. Whenever you feel like giving up, recall this reason.
Get rid of the soft drinks at home.
If you want to quit, quit now. Don’t tell yourself that you’ll stop drinking after you finish the soft drinks in the fridge. You’ll only make it harder on yourself.
Have healthy substitute drinks.
After I quit drinking soft drinks, I switched to either plain water or fruit juices. Do not try and substitute soft drinks with coffee – the higher caffeine levels make it an unhealthy drink, as well. Try replacing coffee with pb Clean Energy! It tastes great and is packed with vitamins and minerals to help you feel energized and focused, without an unhealthy amount of sugar!
Keep track of your soft drinks consumption.
How many soft drinks are you drinking every day? Did you drink soft drinks today? Yesterday? The day before? Make a record of the times when you drink soft drinks. Then target to cut back by 50% every week, until it’s finally down to 0%. If 50% is too much for you, try 30%. Whatever you do, make your goal attainable!
Have a water bottle at all times.
Fill it with your favorite drink. Not only will you never get thirsty, it’s also economical. Remember, drinking up to 8 full glasses of water a day can help clear your skin and help you loose weight!
Persevere.
As you start cutting away Coke® and soft drinks from your life, you may find withdrawal symptoms in the first week! These symptoms may come in the form of restlessness, anxiety, cravings to drink again. Push through! If you need a little help detoxing, head on over to Planet Beach and hop in the Slim Capsule! You’ll sweat all that sugar out in no time!
