You’ve got that great dress on, sexy shoes are ready to go and the make-up is on point! But you’ve forgotten one critical detail - it's June and the heatwave might get you!
Don’t fret just yet. Grab your sunnies and read on to master the summer like a pro.
Hydrate, Exfoliate and Protect - that’s the mantra to beat the heat.
Don’t forget to drink lots of water regularly. As a rule. Take cool showers to prevent skin dryness. Simple yet effective, these basic must-dos will never fail you.
Regularly exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores, which can lead to acne. Our custom loofas that come with our Luxury Hampers are a perfect combination to include with our Body Wash, to keep your skin fresh and clean - use a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores. We suggest products with hyaluronic acid, which helps retain moisture, as per skin type.
Avoid using harsh products containing retinoids or chemical exfoliants; opt for more nature-based options like Lazy Rituals’ ‘Raspberry & Coconut Water Shower Gel’, a tropical paradise escapade that’s nourishing and revitalising for both mind and body.
Always protect your skin. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to all exposed skin (recommended to be reapplied every two hours).
For starters, avoid heavy make-up proactively, as they can clog pores and cause breakouts. If you must, choose lightweight, waterproof products.
For summer, switch to a lightweight, gel-based cleanser to remove sweat, dirt, and excess oil without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
The harsh sun can critically damage your hair if proper care is not given. Use a leave-in conditioner if suitable or hair serum to protect your hair and keep it hydrated. If humidity is not your friend, ditch the frizz and embrace the bliss with ‘Lavender & Rosemary Luxury Shampoo and Conditioner’ - it’s the answer to all your hair care woes. It’s mild, cruelty-free and carefully crafted to elevate your wellness routine.
Consider using skincare products with cooling elements like aloe vera, cucumber, or peppermint.
Don't forget to protect your lips from the sun. Use a light balm (preferably with SPF) to avoid dryness and keep your lips from chapping.
Surviving the June Heatwave can be a task, but it doesn’t have to be a struggle anymore.
The above read is the ultimate survival guide for the hot girl summer that’s been tried and tested by OGs. And remember, it's all fun and games until someone ends up with a heat stroke, so if the temperature is a buzzkill, just pour yourself a cool drink and pretend you're on a tropical vacation!
