Summer Beauty Tips

Summer is a great time for relaxation, recreation and renewal. You probably take advantage of the longer days and warm weather to enjoy extra time with family and friends. While enjoying the hot, lazy days of summer, keep in mind that different beauty rules apply. Here are a few tips to keep you looking as good as you feel :

If you spend lots of time outdoors and want to spice up your look naturally, try combing a little lemon juice through your hair. The sun will lighten those strands faster than your locks sans lemon, giving you an attractive sun-streaked look. It's also easier on your budget than salon highlights

Be sure to deep condition your hair at least once a week, especially if you swim a lot. Hair tends to become dry, dull and brittle if it is soaked and dried too often.

If you like to swim great lengths, try spritzing on some leave-in conditioner under your swim cap to help ward off damage from chlorine and salt water.

If you spend lots of time outside, be sure to use sunscreen with minimum SPF 15. The cancer-preventing benefits are obvious, but protection is also a must for you who don't want to look old before your time.

Make sure that you are adequately hydrated - at least 8 glasses of water a day and even more when you are outside.

If you do burn, apply Aloe Vera or lotions containing it. This will cool and soothe your skin and help you to heal faster. A personal trick is to apply cream containing zinc to your face at night.

For a quick skin boost in the sun, fill a misting bottle with a little bit of toner and water, and spritz your face and body for a quick cool off. Just remember to close your eyes so that you don't risk burning them.

Take on summer with a fresh face forward - less is best! Accentuate your glowing skin by brushing on a light shimmering powder instead of a heavy foundation. You don't want to appear like you are melting under the hot sun.s

This is a great way to give yourself a pretty glow. Use a matte finish on your face and then a shimmer powder on eyelids, above cheekbones, and on shoulders and collarbone.

A hot look on a bronzed face is shiny lip gloss. It gives you ultra shine over lipstick (applied with a brush or on its own). Plus, it stays put - a big bonus for die-hard lip gloss wearers!

Try a light shimmering eye shadow in beige just under your brow bone to draw attention to your eyes.

If you are wear mascara, try a waterproof. This way you will avoid "Raccoon Eyes" when you are perspiring or near water. Don't forget the must-have partner, eye make-up remover, or else you really will end up with the dreaded dark circles!
