While summer is one of my favorite times of year, it can also be a time when my skin suffers. One of the most common side effects of being exposed to the sun all day long is that your skin starts to dry out, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. That’s why I was so excited to learn about these summer fun hacks that will make you look great and feel better. From setting your makeup with baking soda to keeping your hair healthy with ginger root, there are so many ways to keep yourself looking and feeling better this season!
Let’s take a look at some of our favorites: — Refresh Your Facial Hygiene With Baking Soda If you follow me on Instagram then you might remember that last summer I shared how using baking soda on a regular basis helped me get rid of the blackheads on my nose faster than any other method. It didn’t actually work on blackheads but it did help them disappear much faster than usual since baking soda has very high concentrations of sodium. The best part about using baking soda as an exfoliant? It’s actually really simple and super effective. All you need is: 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda, water (about 1 cup), and a clean surface to work on. Here’s how: Scrubbing effectively helps get rid of the built up debris in your pores while exfoliating at the same time. By exfoliating each day it
Refresh Your Facial Hygiene With Baking Soda
One of the most effective ways to keep your skin looking healthy, young, and flawless is to refresh your facial hygiene. This includes washing your face with a cleanser, exfoliating your skin with a suitable cleanser, and hydrating your skin with a moisturizer. The cleanser you use will depend on what your skin type is, but most cleansers contain salicylic acid which works to clear your pores and kill off the bacteria that causes acne. The exfoliating action of a cleanser is what helps to unclog your pores so that your skin can get rid of any build-up it may have. What you don’t want to do is over-exfoliate your skin, as this can lead to sensitive skin and red, bumpy skin. Excessive scrubbing can also lead to tissue breakdown, which will dry and crack your skin out.
Set Your Makeup With Baking Soda
One of the most common side effects of being exposed to the sun all day long is that your skin starts to dry out, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. That’s why I was so excited to learn about these summer fun hacks that will make you look great and feel better. From setting your makeup with baking soda to keeping your hair healthy with ginger root, there are so many ways to keep yourself looking and feeling better this season! Let’s take a look at some of our favorites:
Set Your Makeup Without A Powder Brush
One of the quickest and easiest ways to set your makeup without a powder brush is to use a beauty sponge. Most beauty sponges come with a brush attached, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your beauty sponge by hand. Set your makeup with a beauty sponge, not with a powder brush. If you have sensitive skin, using a beauty sponge instead of a powder brush can be a safer option as it won’t cause as much irritation. You can also try using a beauty blender instead of a powder brush if you have a sensitive skin type.
Never Tint Or Paint Your Skin
Another tip to keep your skin healthy and young is to avoid painting yourself in shades of orange or wearing bright red lipstick during summer. Not only is it unhealthy for your skin, it’s also super unbecoming of summer. Try to keep your natural skin color while staying inside during the day and wearing loose clothing that allows you to comfortably move around in the sun. If you must wear makeup, be careful not to exfoliate too hard as this will pull at your skin’s natural oils and dry it out.
Keep A Hairbrush By The Bathroom Sink
One of the best ways to keep your bathroom clean and your hair healthy is to keep a hairbrush by the sinks. When you’re done brushing your teeth or rinsing your face, simply set the hairbrush down on the counter and let it air dry. This will help your hair stay healthy and strong, and it will also help you keep your bathroom clean.
Don’t Use Towels Too Much In The Summer Time
Not only is it super unhygenic to use a towel after washing your face in the morning (unless you’re drying your face off after swimming or out in the ocean), but it’s also very difficult to dry your hair with a towel in the summer. If you must towel dry your hair, try to make sure it’s not in the sun for too long. Tugging at your hair with both hands while it’s still damp will only dry your hair out. And don’t just toss your hair in the air and dry it off with the back of your hand either. That’s just silly and unhygienic.
Conclusion
The summer is the perfect time to relax, spend time with friends, and enjoy the great outdoors. To keep yourself healthy and happy, you need to take care of yourself. The good news is that there are lots of ways to do this. From setting your makeup with baking soda to keeping your hair and skin healthy with ginger root, there are so many ways to keep yourself looking and feeling great this summer!
