How to Beat the Summer Heat!

Hey you guys! Where we live it gets very hot in the summer (80-90 degrees) so I decided to share with you my tips for beating the summer heat!

#1. Drink lots of water, water is healthy and not loaded with sugars and calories like a soda. You should be drinking somewhere around 8 cups (2 liters) of water a day. If you are not thirsty than you are doing well. We need to keep hydrated since our bodies are about 60% water and to keep from being dehydrated which can eventually lead to death!

#2. If you have long hair wear it up off your neck, this seems quite obvious, but I always see people with long thick hair complaining about the heat with their hair down on their neck. There's tons of cute up-do's that you can rock in the summer time!

 

#3. Wear light material clothing as well as light colors. You want to wear light breathable fabric to not suffocate your skin the the hot months, but you also want to dress in light colors. Light colors will reflect some of the suns rays ultimately keeping you cooler. Plus the summer tends to be lighter and brighter anyways so why shouldn't your clothes be!

#4. If you want to workout do it in the morning or at night. As the day progresses the heat increases. The sun is highest in the sky at noon causing the most direct sunlight, which in turn makes it hotter however there is a delay causing the excess heat to not be felt until around 3 p.m. You will be more comfortable working out if it isn't as hot, so get your day started early or hold off until the sun goes down.

 

#5. Have a lighter/waterproof makeup routine. In the summer let's face it we sweat. When you sweat it can tend to have a negative affect on your makeup. To help from makeup meltdown wear a lighter makeup routine and waterproof it. That way you will be sweat proof and in case you decide to go for a swim you will already be prepared!



So I hope these tips helped and I will talk to you guys next Thursday!
