With record-breaking heat several days in a row, I’m sure you all know the heat in Tennessee has been miserable lately. I have been looking into things so that I can stay both comfortable and cool in this weather, so here are some tips to help you beat the heat, too!
- Switch from a heavy perfume to a lighter scent. Wearing a heavy perfume in the heat can be miserable. Instead, look into a lighter mist. I have been using Ralph Lauren’s mist this summer, and I love it! When I feel like I could use a little pick me up, I spray around my neck and knees to get an instant boost of freshness.
- Wear make up primer to avoid having an oily face. It helps your makeup stay on infinitely longer and also helps your face not get greasy. Smashbox has a really great primer, along with Lancóme La Base Pro. You could also look into wearing an oil free moisturizer, like Benefit’s You Rebel.
- Make sure to protect your hair. The sun can be killer on your scalp. Along with that, it can ruin colored hair. One way to avoid that is to wear hair sunscreen. I like to wear Bumble and Bumble’s hair sunscreen. I also spray SPF 70 sunscreen on my hairline and where my hair parts in order to avoid being burned.
- Wear light colors! With the weather being so hot, this is the perfect time to break out fun shorts and dresses. I am obsessed with J.Crew’s neon shorts! I’m also loving the shirt dresses that Forever 21 has on its website.
- Layer in fluid fabrics instead of ones that stick to you. There’s nothing worse than putting a cute outfit together and then realizing you’re miserable in it. I’ve been wearing polos quite a bit this summer in order to be comfortable but still look cute. I also throw on a blue jean jacket over a blouse when it gets cool at night.
