Summer is coming and it’s coming in hot. Whilst our sundresses have hungrily awaited this season, our bodies need the proper care to still shine bright in the fall. While the number one tip is still to avoid the sun from 12 pm to 4 pm, sometimes some things need to be done outside even during those hours (including spending some quality time promenading at the beach).
With that said, here are 5 tips on how to survive the summer heat in the most glamorous way possible…
1. Keep The Drinks Coming
Preferably not sangria but water, smoothies or juices. Vitamin water is the perfect refreshment that can not only be colour-matched to your outfit of the day but also contains a good amount of electrolytes and other important nutrients your body might be losing in the heat. If you get yourself a designer water bottle, you are guaranteed to make hydration the newest and hottest accessory.
2. Beauty Comes From The In- And Outside
Wearing a constant smile on your lips has an even better effect when it doesn’t hurt your skin due to severe sunburn. A proper sun care routine is therefore essential because we all know there is a fine line between a fabulous tan and a crimson inferno.
Whilst drinking plenty of fluids is the easiest beauty trick in the book, your skin needs more than water which is why your skincare routine should be conscious of the extra sun and heat exposure.
Asteri Beauty, a leader in Saudi luxury beauty comes to the rescue with its newly released NOORISH Tinted Serum SPF 30. The lightweight formula is loaded with active skincare ingredients that nurture and hydrate whilst at the same time offering light and naturally radiant coverage. The SPF 30 extra protection makes this the most important staple in your handbag.
The ingredients include pomegranate extract which, due to its antioxidants, will keep your skin smooth and youthful, goji berries that are known for their protective and softening properties as well as hyaluronic acid which restores your skin’s moisture levels and works to alleviate those fine lines.
3. It’s A Hat Matter
Channel your inner Hollywood diva and source the biggest hat you can’t find. Not only will this complete every outfit and help you hide from your coworkers at the beach but also makes sure your hair and scalp won’t get affected by the sun. Add a good heat-protective spray and your hair stylist will be proud of you.
4. Follow The Dress Code
One of the best parts about summer is diving into our wardrobes and digging out all the gorgeous summer dresses, that make not only make the sun but also our eyes shine brighter. The temperatures suggest shorter hemlines and airy skirts. A-line silhouettes leave room for breathing and flocking around. Take a shawl with you, not only for when the temperatures drop in the evening but also to loosely wrap around your shoulders when braving the sun.
5. Plan Some Cool Escapes
If all else fails, there is always the option of spending the day at one of Dubai’s many luxurious indoor pools. Whether it be the Shangri-La or Four Seasons, the city offers plenty of possibilities to dip your toes in the water without being right under the scorching sun.
