It can be difficult for women to keep their beauty up to par during the sweltering summer months. Warm temperatures are wonderful, but they can cause some unfortunate cosmetic no-nos. If this feeling sounds all too familiar, take a look at these tips from BuzzFeed that are sure to give every woman a beauty boost.
1. Say Goodbye To Sweat Stains With Lemon Juice
Sweat stains are a pain, and the worst part is that they are often inevitable. Deodorant can only do but so much, right? Well, if those nerves did their fair share of work, and now that favorite top is stained, spray a little lemon juice on the stains prior to throwing it in the wash, and they’ll disappear!
2. Keep Hair Its Desired Color With SPF Conditioner
The sun is a natural highlighter, but not going out in the sun isn’t an option. So, in order to preserve one’s hair color, spray in SPF leave-in conditioner before exposing it to the rays.
3. Deodorize Other Places, Too
Using deodorant for the underarms is a must, but there are other places that might reap the benefits of this antiperspirant as well. Deodorizing behind the neck will help prevent moisture from reaching styled hair and ruining its look. Say no to frizzed locks.
4. Prevent Razor Burn Before It Ever Happens
There’s nothing worse than obvious razor burn when rocking a bikini. Want to hide these unfortunate bumps and extend the life of an average razor? Cover the razor blades in olive oil to preclude rust. This will make for a smoother, silkier shave!
5. Exfoliate With Sugar
Sugar is key for tasty treats, but it’s also the secret ingredient for a summer exfoliation. Mix sugar, honey and coconut oil for a DIY lip scrub that will keep those lips from getting chapped.
