Beauty tips go far and wide, and a lot of us have plenty of our own beauty hacks that we practice every day. Today though, we want to share some brilliant beauty tips to help you get ready for the summer sun. Most of us are itching to be back out in the world, and these beauty tips will get you ready and raring to go.
Dressing gown curls
One of the things many of us want in the summer is effortless hairstyles that don’t use heat. Heat is not only damaging to our hair, but it can be very uncomfortable to use heat on our hair during the summer months. Instead, why not consider these simple heatless curls that will dry naturally in the summer sun? Wash your hair and allow it to dry 70% of the way. Apply some serum, and then take a dressing gown belt and place this on top of your head. Split your hair in two and wrap it around the dressing down, securing at the end with a hair tie. Repeat one the other side and allow to dry in the sun!
Coffee scrub
One of the things many of us get self conscious about in the summer is cellulite – and it can stop some of us from wanting to get our legs out. However with this simple scrub, you’ll be able to reduce the appearance of cellulite and gain the confidence you need to flaunt it in the sun. Coffee is full of caffeine and this stimulates blood flow as well as the movement of cellulite. To make a simple coffee scrub; mix some instant coffee with sugar and coconut oil to make a thick paste. Rub in circular motions while in the shower for a few minutes each day.
Lip scrub for soft lips
Speaking of scrubs – one part of the body that takes a beating in the summer is our lips. With hot temperatures, our lips become dry very quickly and they become chapped. To avoid this happening, scrubbing your lips every couple of days is essential. To make a simple lip scrub at home you will need some coconut oil and sugar. Mix into a thick paste and then scrub gently in circular motions on your lips for 1 minute. Once washed off, apply some lip oil to hydrate your lips.
Coconut oil for hydration
One of the most important things to do in the summer is keep your skin and body hydrated. Before you contact the Top Facelift Surgeon in your area to help combat wrinkles – consider unsung coconut oil on both your body and your face to provide natural hydration. Coconut oil is a great all rounder for beauty and it will leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated and smelling great!
Honey and lemon face mask
If you have oily skin or you are prone to acne, one of the things you can do is try a refreshing lemon and honey mask. Honey is full of nutrients and also has natural antibacterial properties, and lemon is full of vitamin c which is used to produce collagen in the skin. To apply this mask, cut a lemon in half. Add a little honey onto the open half of your lemon and then start to rub this over the skin in circular motions. Do this for 1 minute and then leave the mask to set for 10 minutes. Wash this off and your face will feel refreshed and clear.
Argan oil for hair
When it comes to hair, it can become very dry during summer and this makes it hard for us to maintain those soft and silky strands. Argan oil is amazing for your hair, and by applying some to your hair now and again you’ll replace those essential oils and leave your hair stronger and softer. Massage argan oil into your hair once a week and leave it to sit for 1 hour or overnight. Wash out in the shower and your hair will thank you for it!
Cucumber for brightening
If you want to rock the no makeup look during the summer, one thing you want to avoid is dark circles under your eyes! Cucumber has been used for a long time to brighten up below the eyes and you can add this into your beauty routine to refresh your eyes and keep them bright and healthy. Slice some cucumber and place over your eyes, leaving for 30 minutes. Doing this once a day or a few times a week will make all the difference to you.
Rose water for clear skin
If you want to enjoy a natural glow during the summer, rose water is the way to go. Rose water spray is the ideal way to keep your skin clear and refreshed during hot summer days. You can apply spray over your makeup and it will simply leave you feeling hydrated and glowing all day long.
Beer for silky strands
Beer is a surprisingly good hair product. Beer has some nutrients in it that help to clear your scalp as well as soften your strands, and by pouring some beer onto your head as a rinse in the shower you’ll soon notice your hair is so much softer. Consider doing this once or twice a week and you will soon notice a difference in your hair for the better!
Banana peel for pearly whites
One of the things we want to be able to do during summer is smile for the camera and record our special memories. Of course, if you have less than white teeth you might feel a little self conscious about showing your teeth. This is why banana peel is exactly what you need this year. Rub a banana peel over your teeth and leave to sit for 5-10 minutes. If you repeat this once a day for a few weeks, you’ll notice whiter and stronger teeth!
We hope these beauty tips will make you feel confident and beautiful this summer.
