At the Escondido Fashion Week, I tried out some samples from Korres — an amazing line of homeopathic and natural skin care and cosmetic products out of Athens, Greece. Korres is committed to developing safe, effective products for all skin types and concerns. Their products, which are rich in plant extracts, yogurt, and nut butters, feel lovely to the skin and smell good.
A few favorites:
- Korres Sugar Crystal Cream Multi-Vitamin Skin Shield
Suitable for all skin types, very light, leaving face smoother, toned, healthier. - Korres Walnut & Coconut Face and Body Suntan Oil SPF 4
Get a deep, even tan with a long-lasting effect, light fragrance, and lighter feel. - Korres Pomegranate Balancing Moisturizer SPF 6
Light, fluid, goes on smooth, great for acne-prone skin, leaves skin soft but not shiny, and, of course, smells great. - Korres Sweet Orange Sunscreen Emulsion Face & Body SPF 15
Sunscreen face and body milk ideal for sensitive and fair complexions with sweet orange scent. - Korres Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream SPF 30

And Don’t Forget Your Summer Hats
Truly the greatest sun defense, stay stylish, cool, and protected this season with summer hats! From high fashion to bargain budgets, tea-parties to baseball games, there are hats for everyone to love.
Traditional panama hats are back in fashion and oh so comfortable. Fedoras also, but revamped with bold colors and exotic twists. Rather than a baseball hat, sport a floppy floral sun hat or classic straw hat. Look for wide brims, neutral tan, pink, and black colors, and understated embellishments.
Some fabulous hats can be found at:
