Enhancing Summer Beauty Tips
Warm weather inevitably brings lazy days at the beach, hip poolside parties and long nights out on the town. With all of these social activities, the following are a few simple beauty tips to look your best all summer long.
Sun Safe – A tantalizing tan is something you look forward to during the bitter cold months of winter, but too much UV exposure can make skin look wrinkled and aged. It’s important to use a sunscreen with SPF 30 daily. Also, make sure to apply a different sun-block for your face and body to prevent breakouts. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to protect your luscious locks. Use products with an ingredient called benzophenone-4, a sunscreen for your scalp, as well as ones that contain a “UV shield” which helps preserve color and prevent brassiness.
Embrace the Elements – Humidity can wreak havoc on hair, but instead of trying to fight the elements, embrace them. Straight hair doesn’t spell summer, so give your hair dryer and straight iron a rest and welcome curls and beachy waves. Let your hair air dry this summer. You can also try using a sea-salt spray which gives that “just-got-back-from-the-beach” look and also gives an added voluminous boost to roots.
White Hot – Nothing says blissful summer better than a dazzling white smile. And, did you know that a bright white smile can help your tan appear to last longer? Dramatically whiten your teeth with Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, featuring the best technology from Crest to securely mold and adhere the strip to your teeth, allowing you to easily talk and even drink water for convenient whitening anywhere, any time. The secure fit comes off clean after whitening, leaving no mess behind. Achieving a beautiful, whiter smile is now easier than ever. Plus, at about $45 per kit, whitening is budget-friendly too!
Color Blast – Get bold and brighten up your polish picks. Hot pinks and corals are especially fun for the warm months and will complement a glowing tan. Try unexpected manicure/pedicure combos, such as wearing a bright tomato-red polish on your fingers and a sheer color on your toes. If you are willing to be more daring, go with two brights, such as a banana yellow on hands and a coral orange on feet.
Less Is More – The summer heat may be reinvigorating after a long winter, but runny make-up is less than attractive. All you need is a tinted moisturizer – rather than heavy foundation – and chapstick to get that au natural beach beauty look.
So go ahead and enjoy your prettiest summer yet!

So true! Wearing heavy make up during summer can be so unpleasant. It is better to maintain that natural look for more comfort especially during hot season.
