How to Embrace Heat and Humidity in Your Look this Summer

The weather these days can be quite unfriendly for our skin; makeup and hairstyling routines. Everything we put on becomes a melting mess, oily skin gives way to acne, and frizzy, unruly hairs are the stuff of our worst nightmares.

So how can we learn to work with the inevitable humidity?

Befriend Lightweight Moisturizers and Sunscreens

Use a breezy moisturizing formula that feels light on your skin and prevents oiliness. Sunscreens are an absolute must to prevent damage from the scorching heat while you’re enjoying your time at the beach! Here are the best lightweight moisturizers and lightweight mineral sunscreens for all skin types.

Primer is Your New Best Friend

Priming your skin will provide a matte base before you apply foundation to keep it from melting. It will help your makeup look fresh.

Stick Concealers to the Rescue

To avoid dislodging your whole makeup into a sticky turmoil, use a stick concealer instead of a creamy one. A thick, balm-like concealer will add to the staying power of your look in the summer.

Keep a Hydrating Mist on Hand

Use hydrating mist from time to time to keep yourself looking fresh, brighten your complexion, and freshen up your makeup. It prevents blotting as well! Take a look at these best cooling and hydrating mists to use in hot and humid weather.

Invest in a Good Quality Compact Powder

If you want to keep your coverage intact throughout the day, buy oil-free compact powders that help cover and prevent clogging.

Hydrate Your Hair at all Times

Prevent frizziness and dryness by oiling and treating them often. Make sure you use product for frizzy hair that benefits your hair-type and nourishes your hair well during frizz-prone seasons.

Replace Your Conditioner with a Hair Mask

Hair masks seal the ends of your hair better and provide an extra layer of moisture for unruly hair. An overnight facemask is all you need to prevent damage. For your convenience, here are 18 best hair masks for dry and damaged hair.

Tie Your Hair in Braids or Knots

Braid your hair overnight to find beautiful curls and waves instead of intractable frizz the next morning! Make a stylish statement by adding chunky hair clips and hair ties while heading out for the day.

Cleansing is Mandatory

Humidity causes the skin’s pores to overwork; producing extra sweat to cool your body, which leads to breakouts. Cleanse with a clean ingredient cleansing face cream for best results.

Experiment with Your Clothing Style

Wear comfortable and loose clothing that makes you feel light. For some inspiration, check out these boho outfit ideas to look trendy and chic!

Summers are one of the most awaited times of the year. Trips to the beach, cocktail, and pool parties are all you need to make fun memories and spend summertime without feeling the weight of the heat. It’s important not to forget to take care of ourselves to avoid sun-damage and the effects on our skin and hair.
