Summer is here, and with it, the heat and humidity. The sweat and oil that the season brings can leave us wondering if it is even worth it to put on makeup or get dressed at all. Throw in a hot flash and we are just over it. I can barely get dressed and dry my hair without my face being covered in those dewy little drops of sweat. Don't throw the towel in yet, help is here!
Tip 1: Reassess your skin-care needs

Re-assess your skin-care needs. You may find that you need to lighten up on moisturizer and foundation. Adding an oil-controlling primer can also help keep makeup in place and sweat proof.
Tip 2: Style your hair

Wear the hair up! Hot flashes and Summer can be miserable. Getting your hair off of your neck and forehead can allow the Summer breeze to cool you off. It also helps keep oil from transferring from your hair to your skin. Headbands are trending and are a great way to pull some hair away from the face.
Tip 3: Hair care at night
Dry your hair at night when temps are cooler or just let it air dry. To keep volume in my hair, I sometimes sleep in velcro rollers on the top of my head.
Tip 4: Cool water

Rinse in cool water. This really helps to lower body temperature and studies show it is good for us!
Tip 5: Use a setting spray
Add a setting spray to your skin-care and makeup routine. Mist your face lightly BEFORE foundation and again after your makeup routine is complete.
Tip 6: Choose loose fitting clothes
