As much as we love summer and the sun, sunlight and high temperatures are not always good for skin, hair and our make-up. With these ten secret beauty hacks everything will only be half as bad, bet ?!
Fat sunburn, sweaty face and dry hair – the classic summer scenario after spending three days in the sun. Of course you shouldn't stop, that would be a shame about the good weather and above all the good mood. Instead, we have ten summer beauty hacks for you to take you through the summer.
1. Avocado mask ?
Chlorine, sand and sun often make your hair look brittle, dry and somehow dull. And that usually doesn't look nice. What can you do about it? Make avocado in your hair. Okay, more specifically an avocado mask. You simply mix half an avocado, a teaspoon of olive oil and a dash of lemon juice, apply it to your entire hair and leave the mask on for 20 minutes. You will see, your hair feels like new born – and of course you too!
2. Rinse hair in front of the pool
Would you like to jump into the pool immediately on vacation? Understandable! But before you do that, you should rinse your hair with tap water. This will make your hair absorb the water and it is less likely that they will absorb a lot of pool water. It dries them out – and we want to prevent that from happening.
3. Nail polish in the fridge
As soon as it gets hot, we all have problems with nail polish: it becomes sticky and viscous due to the heat. Not nice! If you don't want to be annoyed about such things when doing a manicure, just keep your favorite varnish in the fridge. This prevents the consistency from changing and at the same time extends the shelf life of the product.
4. Tomato juice for blonde hair ?
Those who have blonde hair will have thought in the summer: "God, my hair looks bad" "The blonde quickly becomes dull or even slightly greenish. If you feel addressed now, just try a little tomato juice Soak your hair in it for five to ten minutes and then wash it as usual – your blonde tone will be just as beautiful as it was at the beginning.
5. Aloe vera ice cubes
Been in the sun too long? We knew something there. And no, it's not an after-sun lotion. If you have contracted a sunburn, you can cool it with aloe vera ice cubes. Simply freeze an aloe vera gel in ice cube shapes. After sunbathing you can take them out and drive them over the affected areas. So you can cool the skin and care for it at the same time. Classic win-win situation!
6. Clean the razor with olive oil
In summer we shave our legs almost every day. It is logical that the skin reacts sensitively. But not only the skin, but also the razor notice the daily use. If you want your blades not to rust, you can put them in olive oil after shaving. This also ensures that the blade glides nicely over legs and the like. If you want, you can even use diluted olive oil as a replacement for shaving cream. Works perfectly.
7. Deodorant on the feet
This trick should not provide a great fragrance, but help against moisture. If you often get blisters in sandals or slippers, it is because moisture builds up and friction occurs in the shoe. Exactly these places you can simply rub in with a deodorant stick and you will no longer have any problems with bubbles. It's definitely worth a try!
8. Makes your make-up fit for travel
Get away from the beach and get there: If you have broken a powder product in your pocket or suitcase while traveling, you will surely know exactly how much it hurts. This trick will never happen to you again: just place a cotton pad between the product and the lid and close the packaging as normal. So the powder is quasi cushioned and cannot break. Jackpot!
9. Baby powder on the beach
You are on the beach and after a while you realize: The sand is just everywhere on your face and body. And it doesn't really go off. But that can be changed very quickly – with a little baby powder. Take a little of it on a brush and use it to cover your face and body. So you brush away dried sand in a jiffy and matt glossy areas at the same time.
10. Glow lotion
Glowing skin is simply beautiful in summer. Sometimes you just have to help a little. You can even make a shimmering lotion very easily at home: Simply mix a little shimmer eyeshadow into your favorite cream and you're ready to glow.
