Summers are here. Many of us have a love-hate relationship with summer - Okay OKAY! Mostly Hate :D
Though its the best time to flaunt those sexy shorts and tank tops that bid adieu for the long long winter months, it can still quite take a away more than give.
Here are the top tricks to enjoy Summer in a cool way - Ironical, right? Give them a go and have an enjoyable Summer 2017.
Stay Hydrated
Human body is made of about 70 per cent water and has the tendency to release by way of urine and sweating in a big way, it is quite possible that one can sweat more in the summer months and the best way to beat the summer blues is to chug down lots of water. This will not only keep you well hydrated but will help you to stay cool.
Juice Up
If chugging down water is quite boring for you, there are several options of staying hydrated. Fruit and vegetable juices like watermelon juice, cucumber juice, coconut water all help to release heat from the body and prevent water retention.
Ditch the heavy foundation
It is best to wear minimal make up in the summers for obvious reasons. There are several options for base makeup like CC cream, tinted moisturizers, cushion foundation which give you from light to medium coverage. This will help your skin breathe and keep it comfortable. However, if you need to go with full coverage and if foundation is your bae - then ensure you use a good serum or a moisturizer and primer before you go for the heavy foundation and see to it there is a good gap between before you apply foundation to avoid the cakey-effect. In my opinion girl, ditch the heavy foundation and use the good ol' concealer as your magic wand for that extra coverage.
Wear Sunscreen
It reminds me of the famous song by Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's free to wear sunscreen. Though the song was more for life in general - the benefits of wearing sunscreen are undoubtedly innumerable. To name one it protects you from sunburn which is an immediate reaction when exposed to sun.
Light Fabrics
Your skin needs to breathe so by wearing light and soft fabrics you are less prone to sweat and feel suffocated. It is recommended to wear light colored fabrics in the summer time so that less heat is attracted to you; however color does not make a huge impact on attracting heat as much as tight/well fitted clothes could, so it is important to wear light comfortably loose fitting clothing.
Plan the day right
Sometimes we just have to make the right choices of activities so that hotter parts of the day can be avoided. Try to plan the outdoor activities when the sun is not out there to get you.
Food
Eat nutritious food which is not too spicy or oily. This will help easy digestion and keep you cool. Also ensure to consume lot of fruits during the day. Spicy and fried food items can be avoided or minimized as they tend to make you uncomfortable by radiating too much heat in the body.
Happy Summer To All 💥
