Now that our exams are over we have so much time to relax! While enjoying the hot, lazy days of summer, keep in mind that different beauty rules apply. Here are a few tips to keep looking beautiful!

Skincare Tips! If you do burn, apply Aloe Vera or lotions containing it. This will cool and soothe your skin and help you to heal faster. A personal trick is to apply cream containing zinc to your face at night. This is an effective way of healing my burn by the morning.

Summer Make up tips! Summer make-up should be light and your skin should have a natural glow. Keep Foundation to a minimum, if possible just use some cover stick on the areas that really need coverage and apply a light oil-free moisturizer and work it in over your cover stick to give you a light natural glow.A hot look on a bronzed face is shiny lip gloss! Try a light shimmering eye shadow in beige just under your brow bone to draw attention to your eyes. Use a waterproof Mascara, this way you will avoid "Raccoon Eyes" when you are perspiring or near water!

Protect Yourself ! Limit exposure to 15 minutes on your first day of sunning, then add five minutes everyday thereafter. Seek the shade, especially between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day: apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours. Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. And remember… you'll get your best colour in the early morning or late afternoon (around 5pm) - don't bake all day!
