In summer people tend to sweat a lot and this leads to disaster effects if you have got a heavy make up. In summer one should prefer a light make up and one should think of protecting sun from the sun rays and sweating. One should stop using oily creams and oily styling products as they clog skin pores and form acne and thus pimples. Some tips to keep your skin healthy and have a long lasting make up are
Using a sun screen lotion
Use a sun protection cream on a summer day. You have to apply this cream to your face, hands and legs. Before 20 minutes of going out under sun, you have to apply this lotion. You can get sun screen lotions from any store or beauty salons. If you have dry skin, you can use moisturizers with an SPF of 15 or above.
Avoiding creams
Avoid using creams considerably. Especially, stop using oil based creams. They block your skin pores to form acne. Besides this when you sweat, the oil of the cream starts to spread making your face look oily.
Avoid heavy make up
Avoid as much make up as you can. Try to use very little make up. Just a layer of sun screen lotion would be fine on a summer day. If you use heavy make up, when you sweat, the make up the liquid flows down your cheek making it look awkward with colored liquid flowing. Besides this, you have to let your skin breath and sweat naturally. This helps the skin to secrete waste products freely. This helps in maintaining a healthy skin. This avoids the formation of oils and acne on the face.
Use light eye shadows and less eye liners
Don't use too much eye products. Use little amounts of eye shadow and try to avoid using eye liner as much as possible. If you sweat when you have applied eye liner, there are chances that the sweat mixed with eye liner may run down. If this liquid gets in to your eyes, there are chances for eye damage.
Water proofing
If you have to go for a party or function, you obviously can not go without mascara. If you apply one, there are chances that you may sweat resulting in the flow of sweat mixed with the mascara. In such cases, use waterproof mascaras available in the market. They don't run down along with sweat.
Some more important tips for summer care for your skin are:
- Use translucent tinted powder instead of using foundation.
- Prefer nude natural look for the lips instead of lip sticks with glitters and sparkles.
- If you really have to apply a foundation, mix it with powder to get a fresh feel throughout the day.
