Summer-Ready BEAUTY TREATMENTS By Alana Lauren
Laminating your brows is a relatively new option. Basically, it’s a perm for your brows. It takes your unruly or thinning brow hair and smooths it out while also lifting the hair in a more vertical direction. The end result is super smooth brows that look like you have brow gel on them. Lash tinting and lifts are a good alternative to expensive lash extensions, or messy mascara. A lash lift can last up three to four weeks. No more raccoon eyes at the beach or pool!
it also protects from wrinkles and sunspots that make us look older.
PEDICURE
Sandals are your summer footwear so be sure to treat yourself to regular pedicures. Choose a durable polish that can withstand a busy summer lifestyle.
One thing is for sure when it comes to SPF: It’s extremely important to wear it regularly, both for your skin’s health and look. Your sunscreen should be a minimum of 30 SPF, but 50 SPF is recommended. Be sure to reapply throughout the day.
MANICURE
A good manicure makes you look stylish and put-together even when you’re wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Have fun with it and pick a bright summery hue. If you’re an avid gardener be sure to wear gloves and help your manicure last longer.
FACIALS
Regular facials throughout the summer will keep your skin looking it’s best. Choose a hydrating facial if you’re prone to dry skin or a deep cleansing facial if your skin tends to breakout. Talk to your esthetician about a good regime for your skin. Weekly at-home facials or masks will help maintain your skin’s healthy glow all summer long. This simple face scrub can help exfoliate your skin. Mix two tablespoons of brown sugar with two tablespoons of coconut oil or honey. Apply to face in gentle circular motions, let sink in for five minutes, then wash off with warm water.
SUMMER HAIR
HAIR REMOVAL
Get a good haircut! The summer sun and heat will make damaged hair look significantly worse. A good trim for longer hair or choosing a shorter, more manageable style will ensure your hair looks fabulous all summer. At-home hair masks once a week will keep your hair looking its best. Covering your hair with a hat or scarf during the hottest part of the day will prevent fading if you have processed hair.
Don’t suffer from stubble, bumps and other irritations caused by shaving. Waxing is a quick and simple way to eliminate shaving from your beauty routine. If you have experience, you can do this treatment at home. Laser hair removal can last much longer than waxing or shaving, but should be left to the professionals.
