Summer means plentiful sunshine and more time spent outdoors, so it’s important to adjust your beauty routine to make sure you’re comfortable and protected. Here are my top tips and favorite summer beauty buys, all under $40!
- Maintain a shine-free face by using a mattifying primer and keeping blotting papers on hand.
- Keep your makeup in place, even on the sweatiest days, by finishing off your look with translucent setting powder or setting spray.
- Protect your lips with SPF. Layer under lipstick or opt for a tinted lip balm that provides protection and color.
- Switch to a leave-in conditioner with sun protection, and pop some hair towelettes in your bag for a mid-day refresh. Summer is also a great time to learn some creative updos!
- Spare yourself from dreaded thigh chafing with some of this magic (from curvy queen Katie Sturino of The 12ish Style) on days when you wear skirts and dresses. (It was a lifesaver on Saturday!)
