Summer Beauty Survival Kit

CEBU, Philippines - Beach season is upon us. But just before you decide to hit the surf, you’ll need to be armed with some special beauty tricks of the trade to make sure that you enjoy a beautiful summer while being protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Here are some of the essentials you’ll need:

1.Waterproof Makeup – Nothing ruins a great day out in the sun faster than melting make-up. You may not be swimming but sweat and humidity can really take a toll on your look so make sure everything stays picture-perfect by investing in waterproof make-up items and long-lasting eye makeup formulas.

2.Tinted Moisturizer – Fresh-faced and dewy skin is the look of the season, so you will need something that doesn’t come off as cakey and looks after your skin at the same time. This is one of those all-in-one products that are a summer staple by bringing you not only a lightweight alternative to foundation during the sticky season but also moisturizes and protects your skin too. 

3.Conditioner – To keep your hair shiny and healthy after a day at the beach, make sure to slather on some conditioner or hair serum before your swim. This protects your hair cuticles from any strong chemicals that might seep in and leave your locks fried especially after exposure to the sun.

4.Exfoliation – While this is a beauty habit that can be used all-year round, smooth and glowing skin is never as highly valued as during the summer and has never been so easy before. There are a lot of different ways to choose from nowadays, so if you want to treat yourselves then hit your favorite stores for a natural loofah or some sweet-smelling body scrubs. If you are feeling experimental then you can make your own homemade exfoliation scrub by combining some brown sugar, olive oil and some honey.

5.Sunscreen – The holy grail of summer must-haves, one of the key words to remember for the summer season is SPF. Sunscreens used to be thick and hard to spread without leaving your skin with streaks but they’ve evolved into practically skincare products that serve any skintype. (FREEMAN)
