Happy Summer Dear Red and Pink Hatters:
I pray that you and your loved ones are all healthy and happy and that you are enjoying each day! Summer is finally here and is such a special time – longer days, vacations, beautiful flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables, and a perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy nature and breathe deep! It is also the perfect time to update and change your winter look to a summer look. Some ideas that you might like to try . . .
- Change your foundation to a lighter formula – a splendid time for a tinted moisturizer or BB Cream. Remember to check the color so that it matches your neck. Often, we get a bit more color in summer, even though we don’t try to, so confirm that your foundation is the right color.
- Remember to GLOW! Throw away all those dry powders and add shimmer and shine to the face to achieve that youthful, effervescent, radiant skin. Some self-tanning cream over the whole body and GLOW on top is a beautiful summer look for dancing the night away or just watching the stars.
- Make sure you have a new sunscreen with the words Broad Spectrum on it to protect against Ultraviolet A rays (AVA) and Ultraviolet B rays (AVB) and a SPF of at least 15.
- With summer’s higher temperatures and drying weather, add a moisture mask to your weekly skin regime as well as a deep cleansing mask to keep your pores clean. Also remember to exfoliate your skin at least once a week and make sure you are moisturizing your lips (I always have my Billy’s Blues Vitamin E Balm with me and use it often during the day).
