Summer and sun can put a strain on skin and hair. These beauty essentials promise relief.
High temperatures, intense sun rays, heavy sweating: Summer puts a lot of demands on our bodies and our skin. This makes the right care routine all the more important. These beauty essentials can help.
Don’t forget your lips
Lips need special protection because their skin is very thin and sensitive. A lip balm with integrated sun protection factor prevents sunburn and drying out. These products can be found in every drugstore and they fit in every handbag or trouser pocket.
Moisturizing care
Moisturizing products are a must in summer, both for the skin and for the hair. A light serum with hyaluronic acid or glycerin, for example, provides the skin with intensive moisture without weighing it down. It can be applied in the morning and evening under your day or night cream.
After a day in the sun, a cooling after-sun lotion helps to soothe and moisturize the skin. Aloe vera and panthenol are particularly beneficial here.
For your hair, a weekly leave-in treatment is recommended to protect and nourish it without weighing it down. It can be applied to damp hair after washing and protects against UV rays and harmful influences.
Light makeup products
In summer, less is often more. Light make-up products that don’t run and allow the skin to breathe are ideal. A tinted moisturizer with sun protection factor offers light complexion protection and lets the skin glow naturally. It is a good alternative to heavy foundations. A waterproof mascara stays on in high temperatures and when swimming without smudging. This way, the eyes stay perfect.
And last but not least: a setting spray ensures that the make-up stays in place even on hot days. Products with refreshing ingredients such as mint or cucumber also offer a cooling effect.
Final tips: In addition to using care products, drinking plenty of fluids is also important – not only for your circulation, but also for your skin.
