Face Mist

After all the heat wave on you ,face become dull and sun has sucked all the moisture from your face,you desperately need instant hydration which makes your skin look fresh and little glow to it.Always carry handy face mist spray when ever you want to refresh your skin. take it to work travel home or anywhere you want.

Water based Sunscreen

This is important during the summer when it is exposed to the harsh sun.But if you feel that your regular sunscreen is making your skin oily or making you sweat more than usual,it is better to go for a water based sunscreen during the hot months.These are light enough on the skin to keep you looking fresh all day. 

Take cold shower

While you may feel hot water helps wash off more dirt, quite the contrary is true. Hot water tends to dry out the skin during the summer months. Bathing with cold water or even splashing some on your face unclogs the pores and reduces acne breakouts also keeps your body cool and retain the moisture of the body .Remember to also splash your face with cold water before applying make up to help it stay longer.

Drink lot of water and liquid 

Drinking water or any other liquid every now and then keeps your body and skin hydrated internally. also gives a natural glow on your skin if you follow it regularly.During summer intake of liquid or water should be more than twice of what you take regularly.

Lip balm

Your priceless pout needs to be protected from the burning sun. 

The hot weather tends to dry out the lips making them looked chapped.your lips are most in need of hydration and lip gloss is robbing them of more moisture. exchange your favorite gloss for a tinted lip balm these are more hydrating and will leave your lips looking luscious, soft and supple.

Cooling face mask

When your skin feels like its drying out due to the sun, pamper it with something loving and care. Prepare a cooling face mask by blending half a cucumber and a spoonful of yogurt. Apply this all over your face and sit back to enjoy the at-home summer spa treatment.
