How To Stay Cool On A Hot Day...
I have been getting a lot of email asking me what I do for a summertime routine. I do love warm weather, I am a summertime kinda gal...love the pool the beach...whatever. However...I don't like it when it gets too hot (85-95 degrees is my melting point!!) I don't ever like to feel like I am melting in the sun EVER.
My beauty routine changes as the weather gets warmer and I go into what I like to call "summertime survival" mode. Some of my go-to ways to stay cool that I have used for years are, drinking loads of water or anything cool to drink (I am a fool for iced tea of any kind!), light meals...nothing heavy to eat so I don't feel weighed down. Also keep your makeup in a bag with a gel ice pack OR my favorite hot weather item Icy Bag so you don't have a makeup meltdown on your hands! I also roll up dampened washcloths and stash them in the freezer, you can use them on your face and body for an instant blast of cool.
And last but not least...as little clothing as possible.....













Oh, and this is one I learned when I moved to Texas. Keep a mini-fan next to your makeup dresser (or your counter top if you get ready in your bathroom) to cool you off as you do your makeup...and esp after you blowdry! Point it down when your hair is dry so you don't mess anything up!
