As the temperature soars in the UK, putting away your winter coats and boots and taking out the summer clothes is only half the battle. When the weather gets hotter, instinctively women also get an urge to keep up with the hotness by being summer ready. After all, they get to show off body parts long neglected - arms, legs, shoulders, toes (which are long covered during the winters). With the change in season, there needs to be a wardrobe and routine shakeup as well. So let’s looks at the way by which you can beat the heat and stay on the best of your looks and feel.
The skin also has different needs during summer as heat and humidity, combined with heavy skin products can cause breakouts and irritations. Therefore, you need to swap your heavier winter moisturiser with a lighter one (with SPF, of course) and make sure you have a cleanser that takes away all of the slimes without leaving the skin dehydrated. As the days get longer and we spend more time outdoors, regular sun protection is absolutely vital to protect skin and also signs of ageing. This should ideally be broad spectrum giving cover against UV-A and UV-B. UV can even penetrate clouds and cause harm to exposed skin, so it is equally important to use a sunscreen lotion on cloudy days where we often see the worst sunburns.
If you are the DIY kind of person then you can even get the at-home spa experience by making your own exfoliator. You would just need -Sea salt (1/2 cup), citrus zest (1 teaspoon) and olive oil (1/2 cup). Combine them together, apply and they will provide a refreshing start to your day. You can also rub them on your elbows and knees as they help to slough away the rough skin of elbows and knees. You can even try a sugar-based scrub for a gentler feel that works well on the face (oatmeal, coconut oil and honey is a soothing combo).
Whether you wax or shave, removing hair from your underarms can cause irritation, so make sure to exfoliate your underarms to get rid of any impurities. Invest in a deodorant that helps to repair, protect and soothe sensitive underarms. An effective deodorant also keeps perspiration at bay in the summer sun and is as soft as a dry powder from the moment you put it on.
