Skin
Don’t sweat it
Sweat beads and underarm stains don’t have to be a part of your summer vacation. When the mercury soars, keep your body temperature down and sweat at bay without irriating skin with with a long-lasting deodorant.
| Try this: Clean Deodorant ($18), an aluminum-free product made without parabens, sulphates and other ingrediants that can irritate skin. Plus the time-release formula will keep you fresher, longer. |
Squeaky clean
Clean, soft skin is sexy summer skin. Leave yours feeling beach-ready and baby smooth with a moisturizing body wash. Look for a clean-rinse formula to ensure that it will be light on your skin with no heavy residue.
| Try this: in Papaya Passion Punch ($16), a fun and fruity scent perfect for summer. |
Slough away dead skin
You still need to exfoliate skin in the summer months, especially your face. After a long day at the beach and a night strolling the boardwalk, you’ll need something that can remove all the dirt, oil and make-up that’s collected on your skin. Exfoliation also ensures skin is even-textured and smooth.
| Try this: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant ($50), a gentle but effective way to give skin a brightening boost while sweeping away pore-clogging debris. |
Makeup
Keep it light
A great face of makeup that stays put in the midday sun starts with the right base that will also leave skin feeling light. Instead of heavy foundation, opt for a tinted moisturizer, which will even out skin tone and give skin a healthy glow without feeling like a mask.
| Try this: Becca Luminous Skin Colour ($42), a combination tinted moisturizer and sheer foundation packed with antioxidants and other good-for-skin ingredients. |
Stay dry
You want makeup that will stay on through sweat and wetness. When it comes to mascara, you need something smudge and smear-resistant for long-wearing summer beauty.
| Try this: Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara ($5), a reliable choice that stays put. |
