With fun in the sun and the smoldering heat of Summer comes one inescapable problem that we have all ran into in the past. This problem as I call it is... SWEAT! With all of the fun Summer activities like beach bumming, frisbee, volleyball, and just hangin' out next to the pool, we all know it is hard to escape the heat. So, I am here to save the day! With just a few easy fixes that I have come to find can help keep one presentable during all these great activities that no one wants to miss out on. They can also help to keep your skin healthy and looking fresh.
The first thing you need to do is find the right make-up for you, this is a must. It always helps to keep your make-up light during the hot and humid Summer months. By finding a light moisturizer with SPF, you are killing two birds with one stone. One that I have found works well and is very effective is Neutrogena Visibly Even Moisturizer SPF 15, which you can find at your local store for around $8. This eliminates the need for a heavy foundation by evening out your skin tone while keeping your skin looking healthy, moisturized and protected against the sun all in one product. While we are talking about this product I would just like to stress the importance of finding make-up and moisturizers such as this one, which contains an SPF, even during the Winter months. This is the first and one of the most important steps in keeping your skin healthy. Along with using a light moisturizer like the one I have mentioned it is also a good idea to keep your lips moisturized.
I like to keep things light during the Summer. This is good because it is often easier to clean up your skin after a day of fun in the sun if you don't have make-up caked underneath all that sweat. By using the moisturizer I have mentioned along with some sheer blush and eye shadow in combination with a good moisturizing gloss you can achieve that beautiful sun-kissed look that every girl wants during the Summer months. I also suggest cleaning up with a good exfoliating scrub every night. I like to use Noxzema Daily Exfoliating Cleanser, which you can also find at your local store for a few bucks.
I hope that my tips will be of use to you and good luck with keeping your skin healthy and beautiful!
