Hot Weather Beauty Hacks Every Woman Must Know ...

When the days are warm, there’s nothing we want more than time in a refreshing pool. It feels absolutely blissful! But there’s just one problem; pools aren’t great for your hair color. The harsh chemicals in pools can cause fading to your color or even leave you with that ghastly green tinge if you’re a blonde like me. Prevent that from happening by coating your hair with a leave-in conditioner before you swim and your color will stay beautifully vibrant!

Have you ever had bubbles in your manicure or pedicure? That comes from heat exposure to the nail polish, ladies. You can avoid this frustration by storing your nail polish in the fridge. It will prevent bubbling and keep your nails looking lovely. After all, no one enjoys a botched manicure.

We love bikini season and we hate it. We love everything that it represents but may not like that our bodies aren’t quite what we’d like for this time of year. This beauty hack can help with that.

You can use a body scrub product or simply use your loofah to gently exfoliate problem areas.

The messy bun is always a good choice but it doesn’t work for everyone. Another alternative is a diagonal French twist which is what I turn to when I don’t want my hair making me feel even hotter.

I’m not a huge fan of waterproof mascara but when the weather’s hot, it’s the best solution to prevent melting eye makeup. A few tears have nothing on 90 or 100 degree days. Waterproof eyeliner and mascara are essential in the heat. While I’m still not in love with waterproof mascara, you couldn’t convince me to part with my waterproof eyeliner. The difference waterproof formulas make in eye makeup on hot days is shocking.

I discovered the O’Keeffe’s hand product this past winter and had amazing results with it. It healed my fingertip splits much better than even the prescription from my dermatologist did. I’ve been just as amazed with O’Keeffe’s foot cream. Calluses, cracks and rough spots will be a thing of the past with this product. It’s my latest beauty obsession!
