Five Summer Beauty Hacks

Now that we’ve has a stretch of half decent weather which has lasted for more than a week, we’re finally confident that we can say “summer is on it’s way!”. With the changes in weather and longer days, most of us like to change our beauty routines at this time of year, so we thought we’d give you five hacks that you can use in summer to make your life easier and more comfortable.

Cling Film

If you live alone but need to apply fake tan or sun lotion to your back, there’s a simple solution that you won’t believe until you try it…head to the kitchen and grab some cling film! Cut a piece around one metre long and apply a blob of your sun cream or fake tan to the centre of the film. Then take both ends of the film and use it to rub the lotion over your back as if you were drying off with a towel to evenly spread the lotion.

Get Chilly in the Fridge

A lot of beauty products work better in the summer when you keep them in the fridge – thinks like foundation, nail polish, after sun and lip balms all stay in better condition and work more optimally when they’re refrigerated during the hot weather, and keeping them safe will protect your investment, too.

Multi-Functional Products

If you’re anything like us, you won’t feel like layering a dozen products on your skin on a hot day, so finding products which do more than one things is a good idea. Decleor Green Mandarin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream is a day cream to moisturise, help to prevent fine lines and wrinkles while giving an immediate even sun-kissed glow to all skin types.

Overnight Magic

Night creams are great for rehydrating your skin while you sleep, but if you want your hair looking its best all summer, using some dry oil before bed is a good way to do it. Decleor Satin Softening Dry Oil is scented with a subtle, delicate and beautifully feminine fragrance, and leaves your hair nourished and looking shiny.

Lighten Up

A lot of facial products feel too heavy when the sun is shining, so changing your foundation for a BB cream will help you to achieve a flawless finish without foundation. It contains an SPF and offers 24 hour hydration, as well as a natural looking tint which illuminates and evens out the complexion.

Beauty BlundersBeauty is one of those thing which requires good habits and discipline (most of the time!) but there are a few beauty blunders which many of us commit without even realising it. We thought we’d take a look at some of these blunders to help you to realise where you’re going wrong and maybe help you to change the habit of a lifetime.

Pumping Your Mascara Wand

This one is SO common, but pumping your mascara wand is actually a bad idea and could be destroying your mascara way before the end of its normal shelf-life, as well as making it more difficult to apply. Pumping the brush will force air into the tube which will ultimately dry the mascara out, and the pumping action also forces too much mascara to cling to the brush. This means that when you apply it, instead of getting even coverage, it could clump to your lashes unevenly and will be tricky to remove.

Putting Your Make-Up on in the Wrong Light

The best place to apply your make-up is by natural light and is the only way to ensure that you get an even coverage which looks the correct colour for your skin tone. Standing under light bulbs, especially the fluorescent ones which many of us have in our bathrooms, will drastically alter how the tone of our skin appears as well as the pigment of our make-up. Try to place your mirror next to a window, or if it’s nice weather, sit on the patio to do your make-up! Also – BLEND, BLEND, BLEND (and don’t forget your neck)!

Not Using an SPF

We know that having a tan is what most people want and that many people will opt not to use an SPF because they want to get one, but it’s a bad idea in the long run. We all know the risks of failing to use a decent sun cream and yet it still gets forgotten. Do bear in mind that it IS still possible to get a tan whilst adequately protecting your skin, giving you a safe way to get a glow.

Using the Wrong Foundation

When choosing a foundation, it’s not just the colour which is important to consider but the actual consistency, also. Using an oil-based foundation when you have oily skin will have you looking like you’re melting by lunchtime whilst opting for dry powders on dry or sensitised skin will leave you looking flaky. Using a primer for your skin type will also help to achieve a flawless finish.

Heavy Fake Tan

Okay, so we know we’ve already lectured you about tanning and that we should be HAPPY when you opt for fake tan, but there are LIMITS to how brown you should go! If you’re naturally fair skinned and opt for a fake tan which looks like you’ve coated yourself in Cuprinol, you’re going to look ridiculous. Use a gradual tanner which allows you to build layers of colour, giving you a natural finish.
