Summer Skincare Secrets
Even if you aren’ t out all day in the sun, summer skin is just different. Our dry weather ensures that! So how can you survive 115 degree days and still look beautiful? Check out these 5 summer skincare secrets.
1
Try a hair mask
Whether you’ re soaking up the sun, or swimming in an over-chlorinated pool, the summertime can definitely take its toll on your tresses. Infuse some much-needed moisture into those locks with a good hair mask treatment. Frederic Fekkai Salon Technician Color Care Rapid Results Moisture Mask is a great one to try. $ 35, Nordstrom & Target.
Carry oil-blotting sheets
AZ may be a dry summer heat but when monsoon season is here, it’ s anything but. To combat unexpected humidity, carry around some oil-blotting sheets in your purse; they’ re perfect for blotting excess oil, without taking off your makeup. Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets do the trick and are budget-friendly too. $ 4.99, Target.
3
Refrigerate your moisturizer
When it’ s dreadfully hot outside, there’ s nothing like feeling something cool on your skin. Stick your moisturizer in the fridge for a refreshing touch in the morning. If your skin is really dry, try something like Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief($ 37, Sephora). For a great all-in-one solution, try Lumene Illuminating Anti- Age SPF 20 BB Cream($ 14.99, CVS).
