chemicals will not have such direct contact with the hair.
Shampooing after each time your hair gets wet can make
it too oily, so invest in a dry shampoo in between.
4) If you start an outing, such as a walk or a run, do
not give up simply because of a quick, light rain shower, or
even a heavy one. Find shelter under a roof, awning, or
big tree until the rain abates. Rarely does it last too long.
5) Now we are up to the most important precaution
of all: protecting your skin from overexposure to the sun.
Unless you want a face like a prune in two years, it’s vital
to only swim or sunbathe with sunblock that minimizes
damage. Dermatologists feel the two most important
ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, and both
can be found at CVS or Walgreens. Then you can apply
the cream and let it penetrate for at least a half hour.
Indeed, when you finish swimming, it will be hard to wash
the correct sunblock off, but this slight inconvenience is
worth the trouble, add to that the fact that many moisturiz-
ers have an SPF rating, and you can assure that you will
not look wrinkled or older before your time. Even some
brands of foundation have sunblock properties, so you can
achieve a uniform complexion while you are also avoiding
skin cancer.
6) This may sound shallow to some, but there’s been
an innovation called Waterproof Makeup
that’s made the sun, sweat, and even saltwater and
chlorine more bearable. Be careful; waterproof and
smudge proof are not the same, and some brands which
claim to be waterproof are inferior to others. From only my
own experiences as a veteran of both sweating, swim-
ming, and reapplying make-up over the past forty two
years, I can claim the best results with MAC waterproof
liquid eyeliner. Even after underwater swimming, it stays
on so well that even make up removers can barely erase
all traces. In fact, people of both genders have expressed
surprise when I emerge from a pool with eyeliner perfectly
intact.
7) Most dress in Florida is casual, and the lighter the
fabric the better. During the worst heat, jeans can even
feel too heavy unless they are lightweight material. Keep
in mind that although most areas have air conditioning,
they have varying temperatures. Moreover, some build-
ings have outdoor corridors. Your favorite silk blouse is
sophisticated and lovely, but it can also choke your skin
and lead to dehydration. Do you really want death by silk?
8)
For a day outdoors, sporting stores sell tank tops
with small holes in them to facilitate air flow. It is also com-
mon here to wear sports skirts with built in panties even
after running or tennis are over, just to stay cool.
9) In general, long sleeves are only needed for brief
time periods here since temperatures are rarely below
seventy degrees. Dresses can also be lightweight and
simple; even a “one size fits all” tank dress (or a “one size
fits most”) can be worn to expensive restaurants, dressed
