Every season requires its own special beauty tricks. To keep you looking best, here are our favorite beauty tips for the season.
Embrace, don't fight, the elements: Humidity can wreak havoc on curly and straight hair. But instead of fighting the elements, try to embrace them. Curly hair is uber-sexy in most of the seasons. Keep away the frizz with anti-frizz products. Your curls will be protected, but they won't frizz up.
Superstraight hair doesn't say summer. Put your flatiron away for the summer and let hair dry naturally. Most hair has some wave in it, and beachy waves never go out of style. If you are near an ocean, get in it. Saltwater has wonderful effects on all hair types. You'll love the look once your hair has dried.
Coloured hair needs protecting: The sun will turn coloured hair into all types of wild colours. Protect your colour with a protecting shampoos and conditioners.
Nothing is more gorgeous in summer than lighter hair. Plus, colour can add body to fine, limp hair. When choosing a summer color, stick to natural colors. The sun will naturally lighten hair, so you don't want to go to an extreme.
For black or brown hair: Consider caramel highlights or opt for an all-over hair colour which is a shade or two lighter than your current colour. We suggest getting hair professionally colored or doing it yourself with a store-bought box.
Foundation is out, tinted moisturizer is in: If you refuse to go bare in summer and can't imagine life without your foundation, consider putting away your foundation for the season and trying a tinted moisturizer.
Lighter than foundation, tinted moisturizers still cover flaws but feel less "cakey." And while foundations can feel as if they're melting off your face, tinted moisturizers won't.
Most women are darker in summer, so if you insist on using your foundation, consider one shade for summer and a lighter one for winter. Our favorite tinted moisturizer is Garnier’s, which contains SPF - a bonus all year round.
