9 Summer Beauty Hacks To Outsmart Your Routine
We love a great beauty hack just as much as we love finding a good deal! And with summer filled with hot sun, bugs, sweat, salt water–and pretty much every element working against our beauty regimen, we have some awesome beauty hacks that will get you through the season flawlessly! So friends, here’s some summer beauty advice to save you all some time and energy with your beauty routine.
My ultimate summer beauty advice
These summer beauty hacks are the ultimate summer beauty advice from me and contains the best summer beauty products that have honestly been hiding right under your nose.
1. Feeling Oily? Head to Starbucks!
Surprisingly, Starbucks napkins, which are made of 100% of recycled materials, are amazing oil blotters! There really is no point in investing in the expensive alternative from Sephora or major department stores. Just stuff a few in your purse whenever you stop in for an iced latte–you know you will be there anyways!
2. Dealing with sunburn? Soothe with oatmeal!
No matter how much you lather up with your favorite SPF, sunburn is almost inevitable. Grab some oats from your pantry and sprinkle them in your warm bath to help reduce redness and swelling.
3. Frizzy hair? De-frizz with lotion!
So you are out and about and are noticing some major frizz happening on your head…no need to freak out! Reach into your bag and grab that little bottle of body lotion that you carry around–just because. Massage a small amount into the palm of your hand, and then through your hair–viola! Curious about the difference between BB and CC cream? I’ve got those answers here!
4. Overheating? Chill your products!
Summer rays can be hot, and we can’t spend all day basking in central air. Throw your favorite creams and body sprays into the refrigerator for an instant, for a refreshing pick-me-up!
5. Run out of shaving cream? Grab your conditioner!
It happens easily during the summer because we are shaving more frequently. If your bottle runs dry, just grab the nearest bottle of conditioner and use it the same way.
6. Getting attacked by bugs? Skip extra fragrances!
Because you are loading up on sunscreen, lotions, etc. in the summer months, all of which already have some type of fragrance involved, don’t add any extra perfume. This will attract bugs and leave you bitten up!
7. Want nails that last through sand and chlorine? Make your own shellac!
Mix together your favorite nail polish color with a no chip topcoat and acrylic gel…you can get ALL these items cheaply at your local drugstore!
8. Chaffing on your thighs? Use deodorant!
We all experience it from time to time–no biggie! Whenever you will be wearing shorts or a short skirt, simply run some deodorant in between your thighs and problem solved!
9. Experienced a sunless tanner mishap? Fix with baking soda + lemon juice!
We have all been there…going a little overboard with the sunless tanner! If you have some spots that need to go..NOW…mix together some lemon juice and baking soda and run away! Here’s my favorite sunless tanner + tips!
