Oh, Body Double moisturizer, let us count the reasons why we love you.

First, it contains extracts of aloe and the Australian Daisy (the latter has anti-aging properties).

Second, it smells delightful – but it’s not too overpowering. You’ll get a whiff of vanilla, grapefruit, and orange, the right scents to perk you up.

Third, it helps protect against broad spectrum UVA/UVB rays – it’s SPF 30+.

We could go on, about how Reggie Wells, Hissyfit’s creative director and the makeup artist behind celebrities’ gorgeous faces, including Oprah Winfrey, developed this luxurious body moisturizer, for example.

But the last thing we’ll say is this – there’s no drier time of year than winter. Don’t abuse your skin, get a great moisturizer like Body Double. And around the holidays when you escape to beach and surf, don’t forget to pack your bottle of Body Double for sun protection.

We think your skin won’t throw a hissyfit with Hissyfit® Body Double.

Good thing we found the perfect solution. Enter Hissyfit’s Saving Face Foundation | Highlight – the product that does it all. Excuse us as we get gushy.

Saving Face features a dual-purpose formula that acts as a foundation, a highlight, and offers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection (it’s SPF 50!). Saving Face also isn’t thick and cakey like regular concealers, which can pull and tug on delicate skin.

On top of it all, this miracle formula moisturizes as it conceals and evens your skin tone. It comes in 17 different shades, so you’ll be sure to find the one that’s right for you.

Saving Face pretty much had us at SPF 50, but here’s the kicker; Reggie Wells is Hissyfit’s creative director. He also happens to be Oprah’s makeup artist, and he prides himself on educating women about makeup and their skin so every woman can get the best results.

We think if Oprah trusts Reggie, we’ll trust Reggie.

So stop paying a ton for a bunch of different products when you can get one product that does it all, and more. Try Hissyfit’s Saving Face now. For a limited time, SHEfinds readers will receive free shipping!

HissyFit’s Handy Work ($22) is a luxurious SPF 30 hand cream that has soothing aloe and vitamin e, and smells of orangey mint. Between fighting age spots and smelling amazingly good, this is one of my new favorites.

Sephora’s BODY Nourishing Hand Cream ($15) has anti-UVA and UVB filters giving it an SPF 10 protection as well as moisturizing shea butter and sweet almond oil. In other words, the formula soothes, protects and moisturizes all at once.

Rich Girl Hand Cream SPF 25 ($24) doesn’t come with a big price tag, but it does have a long list of UVA/UVB filters and moisturizing oils that work to firm skin and fight the signs of aging. The mild floral scent is fresh too.

To make sure I never repeat that mistake, I’m making sure all my lip balms contain some SPF protection. Here are three new favorites:

1. Kiehl’s SPF 15
($9.50)

The classic blend of vitamins and oils has additional
sunscreen to protect the delicate skin on your lips from UVA and UVB
rays. Plus it’s incredibly moisturizing.

2. DDF Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula Glossy Lip Therapy SPF 15
($19)

This is the best of all worlds— a clear, smooth gloss that protects your lips without ever getting sticky. Perfection.

3. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 ($22.50)

Reparative oils and waxes mix with real sugar for maximum sun protection and a sweet lip treat.

But what I don’t remember to do is protect my lips, my new manicure, or my salon-done highlights… and as any stylist can tell you, the sun’s rays can turn nail polishes opaque and discolor highlights in just one afternoon.

So to ensure you’re looking good when you come in from being by the pool all day… use these protecting products:

Philip Kingsley Swimcap ($42): A special UV filter helps to extend the life of color treated hair and guards against discoloration and dryness from sun, chlorine, salt, water, and wind while conditioning your hair. Simply apply to dampened hair and work through evenly before going outside.

Essie Non-Yellowing Top Coat ($8): Think of it as sunscreen for your mani. UV absorbers keep clear coats from yellowing in the sun and keeps your nail polish looking salon-glossy.

UVA & UVB Blocking Lip Balms: I have two new favorites… and here are both. Beyond Coastal’s SPF 15 all-natural lip balm ($5) goes on smooth and moisturizes while protecting my lips. Beauty Cosmedics Protective balm ($12) blocks out harmful rays and provides a natural, pinkish tint that is perfect for post-pool drinks.

Why: I went down to Euphoria NYC to test out this new, all natural spray tan. At 5:30 p.m. I walked into the spa a pasty, ghostly girl. Ten, painless minutes later, I emerged a bronzed beauty. I couldn't help but flaunt my amazing new tan everywhere I went — drooling boyfriend in tow.

For $50 this impeccable ten-day tan, one that I could never, ever come close to attaining on my own, is safe, natural looking, and best of all, can transform you from blah to beautiful for all your most important events (like the wedding I know my arch enemy from college will be attending with my ex she stole from me).

Replicating the effect on your own takes a bit more time, but it can be done (I know because as soon as my glow started to fade I was frantic applying product to keep it looking fresh). My savior is Avon's Skin So Soft Satin Glow Airbrush Spray ($12) for the body and Lancome's Flash Bronzer Custom Color Tinted Self Tanning Face Lotion ($26) for the face. Both are fool-proof, buildable and natural looking so you don't have to fear looking like an Oompa Loompa spawn.
