Summer is a great time for rest, exercise and renewal. If you're like most of us, you almost certainly take advantage of the longer days and warm weather to enjoy extra time with family and friends. While enjoying the hot, lazy days of summer, keep in mind that different beauty rules apply. Here are a few tips to keep you looking as good as you feeling:
Summer Hair Care
•If you spend lots of time outdoors and want to excitement up your look naturally, try brushing a little lemon juice through your hair. The sun will reduce those strands faster than your locks without lemon, giving you an attractive sun-streaked look. It's also easier on your budget than beauty salon.
•Be sure to deep condition your hair at least once a week, especially if you swim a lot. Hair tends to become dry, dull and weak if it is covered with water and dried too often.
•If you like to swim lengths, try sprit zing on some leave-in conditioner under your swim cap to help ward off damage from chlorine and salt water.

Summer Skincare Tips
•It may be stylish to be brown, and it does tend to mask a massive amount of imperfections, but don't deep-fry your skin for the sake of fashion. Your best bet is a high quality bronzer in a bottle. The Body Shop has a great all-natural formula. Just remember to use a facial scrub prior to submission to marsh off any dead skin cells. You may also want to use a pair of gloves, lest your palms turn orange!
•If you spend lots of time outside, be sure to use sunscreen with minimum SPF 15. The cancer-preventing benefits are obvious, but protection is also a must for those of us who don't want to look old before our time.
•Make sure that you are sufficiently hydrated - at least 8 glasses of water a day and even more when you are outside.
•If you do burn, apply Aloe Vera or lotions containing it. This will cool and soothe your skin and help you to make well faster. A personal trick is to apply cream containing zinc to my face at night. This is an effective way of healing my burn by the morning.
•Nothing is more repellent than skin full of little red leech or bug bites, not to mention the new threat of West Nile Virus, so don't forget the insect spray. You may want to try one of the new two-in-one sunscreen and insect repellants.
•For a quick skin boost in the sun, fill a misting bottle with a little bit of toner and water, and spritz your face and body for a quick cool off. Just remember to close your eyes so you don't risk burning them.
•Take on summer with a fresh face forward - less is best! emphasize your glowing skin by brushing on a light shining powder instead of a heavy foundation. You don't want to appear like you are melting under the hot sun.
•This is a great way to give yourself a pretty glow. To use a not shiny finish on face and then a shimmer powder on eyelids, above cheekbones, and on shoulders and collarbone.
•A hot look on a suntanned face is shiny lip gloss. The BEST is "Lip Glass" by MAC. It gives you ultra shine over lipstick (applied with a brush) or on its own. Plus, it stays put - a big bonus for die-hard lip gloss wearers!
•Try a light shimmering eye shadow in light brown just under your brow bone to draw attention to your eyes.
•If you are wear foundation, try a waterproof. This way you will avoid "Raccoon Eyes" when you are sweaty or near water. Don't forget the must-have partner, eye make-up remover, or else you really will end up with the dreaded dark circles!
