Seasonally Make up Tips


All the beautiful girls following my blog, here are some make up tips for summer season. In summers, it is more difficult to keep your skin and your makeup fresh because of stickiness, greasy and oily skin texture. You must spend extra time on your skin to make it look glowing and fresh. In summers, I would advise you to use natural skin care products to preserve your skin from any damage caused because of the scorching heat.


The best foundation for summers is pan stick foundation. It reduces the chances of itchiness and blotchiness in summers. Therefore it is advisable to keep compact powder with you everywhere and apply it after regular intervals to give a fresh and neat look to your skin. Compact powder reduces moisture in the skin and absorbs sweat and other ingredients. If sweating persists, it leads to friction and loss of minerals on the skin.

Besides compact and foundation, blush on with pastel color can be used for highlighting the cheek bone and eyes. Prefer to use light shades, they give soothing and cool effect in summers. Try out water proof mascara, cream eye shadows can be best to use in this summer. They stay longer. Glossy lipsticks and pastel shades are also popular.

Benefits of Best Sunscreen Lotion


Any sunscreen lotion when applied to the skin helps your skin against damage sun UV rays and hence minimizes skin damage and repair. Apply sun screen lotion at least 30 minutes before going out in sun. For ongoing protection, apply it before and after swimming, sun exposure and near the sea side.


To avoid scorching heat, you can use SPF Sun protection factor. It indicates the protection your skin will have after applying it when your skin is exposed. SPF 15 will protect your skin for 150 minutes while you are out in sun. Sunscreens should be applied again after 3-4 hour as no sunscreen give you long lasting protection. Normally SPF 15 to 20 is fine for women around the world with normal weather conditions. Skin that is sensitive and more prone to pigmentation need SPF 30 and above. For oily skin, you should use low SPF sunscreen as sunscreen lotion itself is oily and can create pimples and acne. For complete protection in sun, use umbrellas, hats and covered clothing.

Children skin is sensitive and more prone to skin burn as compared to adults. Children play outside that’s why they are more prone to sun damages. Children should not be exposed in sunlight. Special sunscreen lotions are available for children, designed according to their skin type.
