How To: Beat The Heat With Vaseline Aloe Fresh….

Hopefully you are near a pool or a beach right now because the oppressive summer heat is upon us!  With temperatures topping 100°F in some places of the country (it’s STILL 102 here and it’s nearly 6pm!!), how is it possible to look great and avoid a dreaded “make-up melt down?”  Simple adjustments to your beauty routine can help you beat the heat, while still looking fabulous…..

• Switch-up Your Lotion: Summer heat waves are no time for your thick, heavy winter lotion.  Swap it out for something light and fresh like Vaseline Aloe Fresh lotions.  Try the Vaseline Aloe Fresh Moisturizing Body Gel right after showering.  100% pure aloe, the lotion glides on skin to hydrate and invigorate skin.

• Tame Your Tresses: Humidity during the summer can cause major frizz, especially with dry hair.  The best thing you can do is to combat frizz before it starts with a rich, leave-in conditioner that will help keep your locks moisturized.  You can pop a moisture spray in your bag for midday quick-fixes.

• Preventing Makeup Meltdown: Heavy liquid and cream based foundations can melt-away when you sweat and are too heavy for casual summer looks.  Try using a light powder or tinted moisturizer, preferably with SPF.  Adding a little bronzer on the cheeks, bridge of your nose and anywhere else the sun naturally hits helps to mimic the look of a sun-kissed glow. Water-proof mascara and eyeliner are also a must.

• Chill-Out Your Morning Routine: Need a quick, refreshing start to your day before venturing out in the sweltering heat?  Try popping your cleansers and lotions in the refrigerator over night for a nice cooling effect in the morning.

• Drink Water!: We all know how important it is to drink enough water, but this is especially important during summer.  Drinking water not only keeps your body hydrated, it also helps to keep your skin healthy.
