4. Using sheet masks
These have become trendier recently – and for good reason. “Sheet masks vary in ingredients, with many containing vital nutrients needed by your skin. Look out for ingredients such as Aloe Vera, which acts as a coolant for your skin. This encourages a cooler sensation when you are out and about” says Vincenzo White, a Makeup blogger at Draft beyond and Last minute writing.
5. Less can be more
When the heat hits hard, the best way to avoid melting foundation and sticky lipstick is simply to wear less of them. Your skin releases more of its natural oils in hot weather, which will give you a pretty summer glow. Also, avoid the temptation to wash your hair more. What you need to do is wash it less, as this reduces the drying effect the sun has on your strands. If needed, use dry shampoo between washes.
6. Use water-resistant products
Cosmetics that are wax-based don’t mix with water. This means you can still use some cosmetics if you wish, while avoiding the clammy and sweaty look that many other cosmetics will leave you with. The ones to avoid are water and oil-based products. Be creative! You can use a cream lipstick for eyeshadow and blush; the more versatile your products, the better.
7. Avoid waxing strips you need to heat up
Buying pre-cut cold waxing strips is a great idea to get rid of unwanted body hair when it’s hot outside. This will also prevent visible pores. Not worrying about warming or rubbing your waxing strips will save you time that you can spend outdoors, showing off your smooth legs!
