Summer... It's not over yet!
Thankfully that is, so as we cram in the most sun and warmth we can let's review a few tricks and tips.
1. Your hair acts as a sponge, so before going into chlorinated or salt water, rinse your hair in fresh tap water. Also use a leave-in treatment/conditioner for your hair to protect it.
2. Do not over exfoliate in the summertime. Exfoliating removes the top layer of skin making it more susceptible to sun burns.
3. Do not shampoo daily. It dries out your hair. Use a dry shampoo to help soak up any extra oils and odors.
4. Instead of tanning your face use a self tanner or bronzer. you will thank yourself in ten years.
5. Always keep your summer make-up minimal. Minimal and sheer is the way to go when it is hot and muggy. Try to use tinted moisturizer rather than your normal foundation. Tinted moisturizer will still cover your flaws, but will be less cakey. If you do use a tinted moisturizer, use one with an SPF in it.
6. Humidity can wreak havoc on your hair. Instead of fighting the elements, go with it. For curly hair, use a leave-in conditioner. Your curls will be protected, but not frizzy.
If you have straight hair, let it dry naturally. Most hair has some wave it. Beachy waves never go out of style!
7. Sand at the beach acts as a natural exfoliator for your feet. Use it!
8. Always drink plenty of water. Beauty starts from the inside.
9. Sun gives us natural vitamin D that we can not get from food sources. 30 minutes 2x's a week will boost our immunity, mood, and energy levels. Keep in mind moderation is key, extended exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer.
This season always seems to pass by too quickly.
I hope you all make the most of your last weeks of sun before we all go hibernate. Keep this little thought close by....boot season is just around the corner.

Monthly Beauty Tip...........
5 Great Eyebrow Do's & Don'ts'!
1. The right color makes ALL the difference.You want your brows to help accentuate your features. Make sure when coloring them or filing them in you don't go too dark or light. They should be with 2 shades of your hair color.
2. Don't over tweeze. Thin brows get lost on your face. You should think of your brows as a frame for your eyes. Make sure they are left thick enough to make your eyes pop.
3. Take care of strays. Keep your brows looking fresh by getting rid of the sparse strays that tend to hang out below the arch of your brow. A great brow shape kept up can be like a mini eye lift.
4. Fill in sparse areas. Using a pencil or a powder to fill in and define your brows will give you a more awake appearance. 5. Don’t spread them apart. If you take the middle of your brows too wide it will make your eyes look as they are wide set. The same can happen if they are too close together. A great rule to follow is keeping the start of your brow in line with the inner corner of your eye, right where your tear ducks are.
