The Foundation Fix
If you're like most women, you require less coverage as the weather heats up. In fact, if you retain your usual winter beauty regimen throughout the summer months, you might find yourself in a bind. Your foundation is likely to run or smear in the scorching heat and high humidity, taking on a cake-like appearance. By the time the extreme temperatures hit home, you'll want to simply smooth on an oil-free, tinted moisturizer, and a little translucent powder, and call it a day. Look for moisturizers with UVA/UVB protection from everyday sun exposure.
Powder Puff Girl
If you're following the "less-is-more" theory, the last thing you want is a heavy powder that adds too much colour to your skin. Translucent shades are the best bet for a cover-up that doesn't weigh your skin down. You even can carry your sheer shade in a convenient compact for sudden summer touch-ups.
Preserve Your Precious Pout
Did you know your lips are more likely to burn than any other area on your face? So why is it that you cover yourself from head to toe with sunscreen, yet skip over your vulnerable kisser? When the days grow longer, it's especially important to cover your lips in SPF protection to prevent chapping, cracking and sun burning. For a healthy, natural look, trade in your rich, heavy lipstick for a simple tube of lip balm with SPF 15 or higher, complemented by a sheer gloss.
