The beach season begins! Going on vacation, do not forget to put in your makeup bag everything that comes in handy on hot days.
In the fight for bronze
First of all, get sunblocks that are suitable for your phototype - for the body and for the face, such products as hygienic lipstick with SPF or a stick on the lips and around the eyes will not be superfluous.
When sunbathing, do not save them: an adult needs at least 30 ml of cream or lotion for the whole body. And remember: even if waterproof and waterproof is written on sunscreen, this does not mean that it is not completely washed off with water.
Dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen again at least every 3 hours: studies show that UV filters lose up to 50% of their effectiveness during this time. If you like an active lifestyle and are not averse to playing, for example, beach volleyball, pay attention to the sweatresistant - "resistant to sweat" and sandresistant - "resistant to sand" signs.
Tip
If you pre-peel, and then 2-3 days actively use creams with intensive moisturizing components, you will tan much faster. Also, while taking sun baths, eat more apricots, papaya, bell pepper and drink carrot juice: they contain a lot of beta-carotene, which accelerates the formation of melanin, and antioxidants that neutralize free radicals.
Remember: products with alcohol, citrus essential oils and fruit acids, if you use them before going out in the sun, can cause pigmentation disorders.
Durability test
Do you think that on the beach you can do without makeup? Perfectly! Moreover, in the heat you should not once again overload the skin with an abundance of cosmetics. However, if you do not risk appearing in public unpainted - waterproof cosmetics will come in handy. You can also pre-dye your eyelashes and eyebrows with permanent paint, eyelash extensions, or even make a tattoo. Specialists in cosmetic tattoos can draw arrows on the eyelids, make eyebrows or lips brighter, and then you will hardly need to use makeup. Such tattoos are temporary, they gradually fade and after 2-3 years come to naught.
Tip
If you don’t have any means for removing makeup that is resistant, use oil (for example, sunflower or olive oil).
In all its splendor
Means for hair care and styling, containing sunscreens, also become a daily necessity in the summer, because they help prevent hair burnout. In addition, do not forget: from seawater, the hair becomes thinner, drier, begins to split, so use a repair mask daily for dry or damaged hair. Also, before water procedures, you can apply protective oil to them or even a regular conditioner balm.
Tip
Before going to the beach, you can safely take advantage of colored hair care products: they almost always have UV filters.
