4 Common Beauty Mistakes to Avoid in Summer

If we follow a well-established beauty routine for the rest of the year, in summer we tend to improvise.
The heat and sun mean our skin and hair need different care!

Here are 4 mistakes to avoid this summer.

1. Not using waterproof products

It’s hot, we jump into the pool, and splash—it’s a disaster… We get out of the water with panda eyes. To avoid a makeup mishap, swap your usual mascara and eyeliner for their waterproof versions!

2. Not protecting yourself from the sun

Sunscreen is the best anti-aging product there is. UV rays are among the skin’s greatest enemies, causing premature aging. That’s why it’s essential to apply a high-SPF sunscreen (at least 30) every day before putting on makeup.

3. Waxing just before going out in the sun

Whether you’re waxing your legs, eyebrows or bikini line, avoid doing so if you plan to sunbathe a few hours later. It’s best to plan ahead and do it the day before. Waxing can irritate the skin, and sun exposure will only irritate it further. Remember to moisturize the areas concerned to reduce the risk of redness.

4. Not protecting your hair

Just like your skin, your hair needs extra care in summer. Attacked by chlorine, salt and sand, it could well turn into a bundle of straw by the time you get back from vacation if you don’t protect it. So use plenty of hair sun-care products, and don’t hesitate to wear a hat or scarf to combine style and protection.
