Be sure to deep condition your hair at least once a week, especially if you swim a lot. Hair tends to become dry, dull and brittle if it is soaked and dried too often.
If you like to swim lengths, apply some leave-in conditioner under your swim cap to help ward off damage from chlorine and salt water.
Invest in a hair conditioner that contains a sunscreen.
You can rub lemon on your scalp. This will wonderfully reduce the dandruff and automatically cool your head.
The application of hair oils mixed with amla will naturally reduce the dandruff as well as cool the head.
You can apply henna mixed with lemon juice and egg once in week. Let this cooling pack stay on your head for one hour and wash it away with cold water.
Summer Skincare Tips
If you spend lots of time outside, be sure to use sunscreen with minimum SPF 15. The cancer-preventing benefits are obvious, but protection is also a must for those of us who don't want to look old before time.
Make sure that you are adequately hydrated - at least 8 glasses of water a day and even more when you are outside.
For a quick skin boost in the sun, fill a misting bottle with a little bit of toner and water, and spritz your face, neck and arms for a quick cool off. Just remember to close your eyes.
To feel super fresh and get glowing skin put some cool slices of watermelon on your face.
Apply honey and yoghurt on the face and body. Honey acts as an exfoliator and gives the skin a sweet, youthful glow. Yoghurt besides having cooling effect, nourishes the skin and makes it supple and smooth.
Use aloe vera cleansing gels as aloe vera softens dead cells, aiding their removal from the surface, leaving the skin smoother.
Use the papaya, pineapple and aloe vera body wrap as this mixture has a cooling effect, is anti-aging and a good exfoliator.
Cucumber is the coolest- use grated as a face pack, slices as eyepads.
Summer make-up tips
Summer make-up should be light. 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.
Dewy face with the lightest veil of translucent powder is the right summer look.
Light shade of bronzer on cheekbones and chin gives you a beautiful suntan.
