Exfoliation

The first step to a beautiful summer glow is to exfoliate your skin. Get rid of dead skin cells by using a clean washcloth that is wet and then use it to gently scrub your skin, especially around your face. The combination of perspiration, makeup residue, and dust can clog your pores and result to irritations or impurities on your skin. By exfoliating your skin, you can get rid of these impurities and also give a natural supple effect on your skin.

Toning

A gentle toner is ideal during the warmer months of summer. When you use a toner, it can make your pores look smaller while also restoring the ideal pH level on your skin. If you need to add moisture on your skin, an alcohol-free toner can also get the job done. You can carry a small bottle around when out and about during summer and spritz a small amount on your face to refresh your skin.

The Right Coverage

The best type of foundation for formula for the summer are those that are sheer and waterproof. You should specifically be on the lookout for companies that specialize in waterproof makeup that can withstand the heat of summer. This type of foundation provides enough cover to hide unwanted spots and also create an even skin tone.

Bronze it Up

For that natural-looking summer glow, use a lightweight bronzer. The best type of powder is made with light powder formula because it is more buildable than its liquid counterparts. Get your ideal summer glow with a matte finish foundation and a shade darker than your natural complexion. Apply the bronzer on the parts of your face that will get most exposure from the sun.

Protection

Do not just rely on skin care and makeup products that contain SPF – use a separate sunscreen for your skin as well. A lightweight sunscreen is recommended by professional makeup artists so it is easily blendable with your other makeup products. This is a trick to maintain summer glow and protect your skin from sun damage as well.

Bonus Tip

To get your desired summer glow, here are more beauty tips to consider:

  • The summer months will be harsh on your skin and makeup. Make your life easy and invest in waterproof makeup products.
  • Finish off your makeup look with a soft but high shine lip product. This will add more beautiful glow to your skin.
  • Use a professional and long lasting setting spray for your makeup. Also, don’t forget to bring a touch-up powder to remove excess shine off your skin.
