Natural Beauty Tips

Summer is the most anticipated season of the year as the chance to stay in the sun and getting a gorgeous tan is virtually free. And it’s about time you got that bikini out from hiding and, felt the summer breeze and sea on your skin.

However, summer can be cruel to your skin and hair. But don’t fret. Here are some tips to face the summer that lies ahead.



Maintain a great summer look with these tips.

Best Hair Care

It is common knowledge that summer is not the best time for your hair, as the heat can dehydrate it, causing dryness and frizz. Keep it healthy by putting enough sun protection and moisturizer. There is no exception for this protection whether your hair is curly or straight.

In addition, you must shower after every swim to remove sea water as it could dry your hair. Moisturize after every shower. If you have processed hair (colored or highlighted), use color protector before you go out basking in the sun.

Want to wear a great hair this summer? Then try coloring your hair. As long as you stick to the natural colors or the one nearest to your hair tone, it’s great. Avoid lemon juice application too as it can help intensify dryness of your hair.

Letting your hair free during summer is a wonderful feeling, but keep it off your face to maintain a clean look. Use ballerina bands and headbands, or tie it loosely with a scarf, which will give you a gorgeous summer look.

Best Makeup

Summer should not prevent you from using makeup. What you need to do is to avoid using those that will melt in the summer heat, such as using tinted moisturizers instead of a foundation. Plus, it contains SPF that is great for your skin safety.

Eyeshadows are fabulous for summer too especially those shimmering highlighters, just as long as you use those products that will not melt down. Wearing liquid eyeliner and waterproof mascara are your best options when it comes to defining your eyes.

Flushed skin will look natural during summer. Apply bronzer on your t-zone and a bit on the cheeks with a little pink blush.

Best Skin Care

Never go out into the summer sun without sunscreen, especially if you are planning to get a tan. Remember to tan gradually, not fry yourself in one day because the UVA and UVB light from sun are quite dangerous for your skin. A self-tanner will also help you get it beautifully, just pick the right one. Apply sunscreen and moisturizer twice daily.

Best Nail Polish

Flip-flops, slippers and sandals are great summer footwear. Show off your nails using these while sporting a fun and bright color nail polish, like hot pink or bright orange.
