Ciara & Degree Women DO:MORE at the MTV Video Music Awards

Last night, the MTV Video Music Awards lit up Brooklyn and Degree Women was there to capture all of the incredible DO:MORE moments. Although only a few went home with moon men, everyone came together in their pursuit of great music and doing more of what they love.

From the A-list nominee roster, including our girl Ciara recognized for Best Choreography, to the passionate pit of relentless fans, there were plenty of high stakes moments and unforgettable moves throughout the night. As one of the most physical performers in the business, Ciara relies on Degree to not let her down with its exclusive motionSENSE technology that works harder the more you move (she even brought it along in her clutch).

Beach Bag Essentials

When I go to the beach I like to keep it simple, yet I don’t like to look too much like a “schlump.” To look good even while on the beach I like to use the following products: Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer with UV protection of course under my makeup. This cream is light and straightforward, perfume free, and hydrating. I don’t forget my under eye area, and for that a must-have is the Simple Soothing Eye Balm.

Summer Skincare 101

I don’t really change my skincare routine much in the summer. All I tend to do is up the SPF. So, for example, I switch from using the Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer as my daily moisturizer to using the Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15. It’s so hot and sunny here in Scottsdale, AZ, so I need that extra protection. These moisturizers come in super handy when I’m traveling – mostly to California and the beach – which I tend to do a lot of during the summer. I like how it’s fragrance free, easy and pleasant to use.
