Summer Beauty Tips for the Lazy Girl

July 15, 2016

Summer is a care-free time to spend pool side or on a lawn chair reclined in the sun. Let your natural beauty shine this summer and look fabulous in no time at all with your sun-kissed bod. Follow these easy summer beauty tips and spend your precious time soaking up the rays.

summer beauty tips

Always have a hair tie

Warm weather means bring on the frizz and natural body for your hair. Be ready to manage that mane and push it away from your eyes and face with a headband or hair tie. Summer is the time for adventure, you never know when you’ll need to throw your hair up at a moment’s notice.

Use two coats of nail polish

Ever notice how your toenail polish stays on longer than your fingernails’ polish? Keep your feet looking sweet even longer with two coats of toenail polish in a bright, cheerful color.

Use SPF makeup foundation

Switch to a makeup foundation brand that has a SPF rating to protect your face from the sun’s harmful rays. You may need to reapply this if you are outside for several hours. Accent the beautiful, clear, sun-kissed look of your face with a coat of mascara and clear lip balm or gloss that has a SPF rating of 30 or higher.

Wear sunscreen

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, everyone should be wearing sunscreen daily for the protection of their skin. Choose a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. SPF should be 30 or higher and also offer water resistance. Coat all skin that will not be covered by clothing. Read the directions on the bottle about reapplication. If you are not sure, reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

Eliminate unwanted hair

Summer is shorts weather, which means finding time every few days to shave. Avoid spending extra time getting ready by trying out laser hair removal. This will save sensitive parts of your body like your bikini area or armpits from getting irritated with too much shaving. Laser hair removal experts explain the procedure as an effective way of targeting cells deep in the hair follicle and damaging the follicle so that hair growth stops. No more reaching for a towel to cover up embarrassing stubble or unruly hairs in private places.

Keeping skin, nails, and hair looking supple, vibrant and neat this summer is a breeze with these four summer beauty tips for the lazy girl. Look great naturally and spend time out in the sunshine instead of primping in the bathroom.

    I know so many people in their 20’s and 30’s that don’t use SPF daily. They are so eager for color that they forget that they’ll live with the problems of the sun for the rest of their lives. Some are even in the medical field. It drives me crazy.

    Double yes on the hair tie tip! It’s the worst finding yourself in a car with all the windows down for a mini-adventure and having your hair smacking you in the face.

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰
