Indian summer has begun and all of us can definitely feel the heat! With temperatures soaring high up to 45 degree, all of us have difficulties and vows on how to look sweat free, have clean makeup, and most importantly smell good. Of course, sweating is a good sign, indicating you are healthy, but concealing sweat stains and smelling good is necessary too. This week I decided to put forward a few tips and hacks on how to stay sweat-free this summer and will keep you covered with everything ranging from hair to makeup! Hope you find it useful :D
Tip #1
~ Shop smart, wear smart and still look great!
- While shopping for summer clothes, one must make sure that they avoid silk and satin as they do not breathe very well and must opt for light weight cotton, rayon or linen.
- Opt for dark colors like brown, black or navy blue and avoid light colors such as yellow and white as they are worst at concealing sweat stains.
- My personal choice for a fashionable summer season would be maxi dresses, long slit skirts, muscle tanks, loads of colorful printed scarves, overalls and shorts.
Tip #2
~ While heading out for an all day adventure, make sure you are carrying your beauty kit with you which contains all your must-haves when you're on the go on a scorching hot sunny day. Here I have a list of all the items I prefer to carry while I'm out for an all adventure on a sunny day:
- Wet wipes
- Powder
- Mints
- Face mist
- Deodrant
- Perfume
- Extra shirt
Tip #3
~ Smell good all day with these easy steps:
- Bathe everyday at least twice with a good scented soap or even use a shower gel. Be sure to wash your hair twice or thrice a week.
- After bath, using a body mist can really make a difference since your skin is most receptive at this time. Using a body mist plays a vital role in the whole sweat free look, To make it more effective, do not forget to apply pea size moisturizer (preferably scented) at the points where you are going to be spraying the mist. This increases the efficiency of your product.
- The points where one must apply it are at your temple, wrist, elbow, behind your knee, below your ear lobe and at the base of your throat.
- After moisturizer and body mist, go ahead and apply perfume. Rubbing on the area of your body after applying perfume is useless as all it does nothing but breaks down the molecules of your perfume and decreases it's effectiveness.
Tip #4
~ Makeup hacks for summer:
- Skip heavy foundation as they are more likely to melt on sweaty skin. Use a heavy coverage BB cream instead.
- Use a primer. They will help your makeup cling longer. Make sure your primer is oil free.
- Go waterproof! Liquid eyeliner and waterproof mascara are able to withstand summer sweating. Infact liquid eyeliner lasts longer than pencil eyeliner on damp eyelids.
- Applying powder on your makeup to hide oiliness or sweat is definitely a bad idea as it will partially conceal it, but make your face look very cakey. Instead, one can keep their makeup in place by applying facial mists. It not only refreshes you and hides oiliness, but also sets up your makeup.
Tip #5
~ Pamper your hair:
- Use a good quality conditioner to bring back health into your locks.
- Do not subject your hair to additional external heat by using hair dryers, curlers or straighteners as much as possible.
- Using a dry shampoo in between air washes can ad to the volume and and also remove oiliness from your hair. It adds a lot of bounce and also moisture.
Hopefully this blog post has been useful. Although I have told you about all the tips and hacks, I want to update you with all my favorite products which I would recommend you use this summer.
