How to Stay Gorgeous In the Summer: The Top 10 Beauty Must Haves!

Summer is getting near, and it’s time to flaunt your curves! Keep all of your woolen socks and winter coats at the back of your closet, and replace them with bright tops, shorts and a whole lot of summer attitude. But before you head out to the beach, there are several summer beauty must haves that one should have in their arsenal, so that no matter where you are, you will still remain oh-so-gorgeous!



THE TOP TEN SUMMER BEAUTY MUST-HAVES

1. Sunscreen

Suncreens are definitely on the top of the summer must have list! It’s the only way to protect you from the harshness of the sun’s rays. Remember though, it is always best to stay under the shade. Too much exposure from the sun can cause serious sunburn (and premature aging). Don’t forget to hydrate! Drink lots of water because the weather can be so hot, you may get heat stroke.

2. Mineral Face Sunscreen

Don’t you just hate it when your face gets really greasy during the summer? Don’t you just want to have a product that can protect your skin and make you look less oily at the same time? Well, here is your answer: Mineral facial sunscreens! This kind of sunscreen usually comes in a pre-filled container along with an attached brush. You now have the freedom to cover up your face without looking all glossy and shiny. They come in different tinted shades, or you can opt for the transluscent ones.

3. Bronzer

Let’s face it. One cannot scream summer on their faces without putting on some bronzer. Apply a bit of this product on your face, and you instantly have a summer glow. Choose a product that doesn’t have too much orange, because you surely don’t want to look like a fruit. For contouring, choose a matte bronzer instead of a shimmery one.

4. Nail Polish

A nice pop of color on your nails can definitely help you get ready for the summer. Choose bright colors such as pinks, reds, corals and oranges. Nail polish on your footsies stay better as compared to your hands since your hands do a lot of work. For me, I personally choose aqua colors on my toenails.

5. Lip Balm With SPF

The warm weather can dehydrate your lips. And so, aside from stocking up on good ‘ol H2O, apply some lip balm on your lips. This will prevent your lips from getting chapped. It also protects them from the harmful rays. Try to look for one with SPF 15.

6.Summery Lotions

Fruit-smelling lotions definitely help you get in the summer mood. Try looking for one that is fast absorbing. Stay away from really thick creams, or else you will feel all greasy. Apply it just after taking the shower, so that your body can absorb all of its amazing moisturizing properties.

7. Foot Scrub

Your footsies need love too. During the warmer seasons, it is not logical to wear your thick winter boots. Put them in the back of the closet and say hello to pretty thong sandals and wedges. In order for you to get your footsies gearing for the summer, try scrubbing your feet at least twice a week, in order to get rid of dead skin cells.

8. Self Tanners

With the risk of cancer and premature aging, one has to think twice about exposing themselves under the sun’s harmful UV rays. Tanning beds are not safe as well. Instead, try applying a sunless tanner on your skin. You can apply some on your face, or you can apply them on your legs for an overall summer glow.

9. Exfoliating scrub

Before applying your sunless tanner, make sure that you exfoliate your skin. It helps get rid of dead skin cells, and it helps absorb the product well. You can use an exfoliating scrub, or you can use a loofah. During your shower, scrub your body in circular motions (helps improve blood flow to make the skin glow). Use this two or three times a week. In my case, I do it everyday. LOL. I love my scrubs!

10. Razors/Wax/Depilatories

Before hitting the beach, one should make sure that they have flawless skin by getting rid of unwanted hairs. Use a shaving lotion that can give you the moisture that your skin needs. Your hair conditioner is also a great alternative.

And so, with these summer beauty must-haves in mind, they will definitely let you gear up for summer. Say goodbye to pale, dull looking skin and slap on that healthy bronze glow!
