Beauty Hacks

With the rising temperature, there is also a rise in the number of beauty problems. Most of us think summers are for floral dresses, messy hair and a pair of trendy sunglasses. But there's a lot more to summers than the perfect beach selfies and sunny snapchat stories. While none of us like to talk about it, unfortunately, most of us have to face the damage the heat causes to our skin, hair and body.

We hear you. That’s why we’re sharing our favourite summer beauty hacks to keep you looking calm and cool, no matter how high the temperatures get. They’re all guaranteed ways to sweat-proof your look. Go check ‘em out!

Tame Frizz with a Toothbrush

When dealing with pesky flyaway hair, turn to this pro secret: a toothbrush spritzed with hairspray. Gently run it along the hairline, part, and above the ears to smooth stray hairs back into place.

Trade Your Mascara for Vaseline

Seriously. Coat your lashes with the drugstore staple before working out or hanging by the pool. You’ll achieve a thick, voluminous effect without the fear of looking smudged.

 

When in Doubt, Sprinkle Baby Powder

This fresh-smelling powder isn’t just for the little ones. It doubles as dry shampoo for greasy hair, defends against chafing, and magically removes sand from the skin (needless to say, we’ve been stashing a bottle in our beach bags).

Only Wash the Front of Your Hair

Want to salvage a sweaty hairstyle? Gather your strands into a low ponytail, leaving out the front pieces around your face. Wash this section with shampoo and conditioner and go over it with a blow-dryer for a quick polished look.

Prep with Milk of Magnesia

As strange as it sounds, you can avoid a makeup meltdown by using Milk of Magnesia as a primer for oily skin. Apply it after moisturizer and before foundation to maintain a complexion that’s matte and smooth.

Swap Your Powder Blush for Cream

On a sweltering day, powders can cake up and crumble, which is why we suggest getting acquainted with a cream-based formula. Use your fingers to blend along the apples of your cheeks to achieve a soft, dewy glow minus the greasy feel.

Use Deodorant to Sweat-Proof Your Blowout

Besides blocking sweat and odour from your underarms, a swipe of antiperspirant on the back of your neck will keep you feeling cool while preventing freshly-styled strands from sticking to your skin.

Keep comfortable in sandals

Nothing excites us more than being able to wear our favourite sandals in summer, but sometimes the pain is too much. In order to keep blisters at bay, spray your ankles and toes with deodorant, as this prevents the moisture and friction which causes blisters in the first place.

Keep it cool for a perfect coat of polish

When applying nail polish, the product can sometimes become too thick, leaving bubbles when the nails are painted. To avoid this, put your polishes in the fridge, as this will not only make it easier to apply, it can also increase the shelf-life too.

Nothing says summer quite like sweating profusely in record-breaking high temps. To help you beat the sweltering heat, we’ve pieced together a no-sweat survival guide that answers, explores, and solves every issue you might encounter this summer. Hope you find these tips useful and breeze through summer flaunting a super suave look. Do comment and share your views with us in the comment section. We would love to hear from you.
