Beauty Tips For Those Hot Summer Months

Summer is a great time of year. It is great for relaxation and recreation. Here are a few tips to help you keep yourself looking as good as you feel during these hot months.

Hair Care

If you spend lots of time outside and want to try something a little different and inexpensive in your hair, try combing a little lemon juice through your hair before you go out. ( NOTE: If you have previously dyed hair, this is not recommended as it may cause an adverse reaction.)

Be sure to condition your hair at least once a week. The heat of the sun and swimming can dry out your hair. You can also use spray in conditioner that you leave in for the day.

Skin-care Tips

If you are cautious about the sun and your skin - which we all should be! - there are so many good fake tan products out there that have no harmful effects when used properly.

If you are spending time outside in the sun, make sure that you are adequately hydrated - at least 8 glasses of water a day and even more when you are outside. Also make sure you used sun screen on all skin that is exposed, especially your face.

Make-up Tips

During summer months, less is best with make-up application. You can use a light shimmering powder instead of a heavy foundation. Also, a nice look on a bronzed, sun kissed face is shiny lip gloss. It gives you ultra shine over lipstick or even on its own.

If you are wear mascara, try a waterproof. Or you can opt to get your eye lashes tinted for the summer months, skipping the risk of black eyes when you go swimming! Don't forget the must-have partner, eye make-up remover, or else you really will end up with the dreaded dark circles!
