Alright! It’s already summer and unlike winter, you won’t be covered in too much clothing that you can hide your skin and hair. Most likely you’ll be at the beach or somewhere outside so it’s important to keep your skin and hair healthy so people will notice you. Since we’ve been wearing thick clothing for the past few months, most likely our skin haven’t been taken cared of to look its best for the summer. Here are a few tips I’d like to share to get your ready.
Hair Tips
- Remoisturize your hair - Summer means exposure to the sun and with that hair can become brittle and damaged. There are hair care products which could remove chlorine and remoisturize the hair to prevent it from breaking. There are also products that protect your hair from harmful UV rays so I suggest getting those. A good tip is to use leave-in conditioner as well or styling cremes that would provide extra moisturizing. Remember to protect your hair from the sun! If you don’t like wearing a hat (that could ruin your hairstyle) bring an umbrella along.
- Get a haircut - For the summer, I suggest getting a shorter cut that would look good according to your face shape and style. Longer hair could be harder to manage as well as make you feel a lot warmer than usual.
- Try to avoid using blow-dryers - It’s time to give your hair a break from all the heat so it’s a good thing to avoid regularly using a blow-dryer. If you’re going somewhere like work or an outing, make sure to prepare early so you don’t rush and have to resort to blow-drying just to get your hair done. If you don’t have a choice, use a leave-in conditioner to at least give it some much needed moisture.
Skin Care
- Shave - Unlike in winter where you wear a sweater and pants all day, you won’t be wearing the same thing during summer so it’s important to shave some unwanted hair. Of course, a lot of us (yes, including me) become lazy during winter since we don’t really feel like we need to shave especially when people won’t see what’s hidden under our clothing. Well, time to change that. Make sure to use a good razor and shaving lotion to add some moisture on your skin as well as prevent cuts.
- Get a pedicure - Winter boots are out, sandals are in. Get a pedicure ladies. Time to clear out the dead skin that must have accumulated during the past seasons. Try to scrub your feet a few times every week and keep a foot scrub and file handy.
- Buy a new set of products - Instead of using the old one, treat yourself to some new products. If you still have those old bottles of sunscreen and other summer-only products, it’s time to throw those away. Don’t forget to use them, by the way, they’re not there only for show. Especially sunscreen, it will help protect your skin.
