Beauty Tips for Summer

     Summer is here and during this time you may want to change your beauty routine up a little bit. Here are some simple tips and tricks to help you get thru the summer and look your best.

1. Water. Drink lots of it. Since it is warmer during the summer you really want to make sure to keep hydrated. This will help you and your skin stay hydrated. Nothing looks worse then dried out skin in the sun.
2. Sunscreen. Now you should be using sunscreen all year round, but if your not, definitely use it during the summer months. Some people don’t realize how much damage the sun really can do to your skin. There are plenty of good moisturizers out there that come with SPF in them, so take a look around next time your shopping for a face moisturizer.
3. Conditioner. Since the sun is out more and the weather is warm, your hair can get dried out really fast. Invest in a good leave in conditioner or weekly conditioning treatment to keep your locks looking beautiful
4. Less make-up. Women should definitely tone down their make-up use in the summer months. Lose the foundation and powder. Forget the eye shadows and lipsticks. Instead let your naturally glowing skin show. Wear a clear gloss that has a hint of color and either wear mascara or some eyeliner. I try to stay away from anything on my eyes in the summer months because it tends to smear so easily and look overdone. Summer is a great time to show your natural beauty.
5. Don’t bake in the sun. I know women love to look tan, but really is hurting your skin worth it? Avoid laying in the sun and rubbing tanning lotions on your skin. You will pay for it in the future.
6. Keep it simple. Keep everything simple. This goes for your hair styles, make-up and clothing.
