Goodbye to the dry cold winds, summer comes back bringing bright sunshine and hot weather. Therefore, with the nature of office work, cosmetics and skincare products will definitely need some changes to adapt to the season. But how to change is a question that not everyone can answer. So let’s refer to some tips below to become your own “expert” in cosmetics!
Moisturizers
Winter always makes women uncomfortable with low temperatures and low humidity, making the skin dry and cracked. Therefore, moisturizers used for winter are also prioritized for increasing moisture to ensure smooth skin. However, the higher temperatures in summer cause sweat or oily sweat. This requires moisturizers with lower moisture content and superior sun protection ingredients to suit the hot environment. Women should also note that in this season, do not apply moisturizer before going out because it not only does not moisturize the skin but also increases the ability to attract dust and cause higher skin irritation compared to the cold season!
Foundation
If in winter, you use foundation with a large amount of moisturizing to prevent dry skin, that formula will make your skin stuffy and uncomfortable in this summer. Instead, you should use lighter foundation to let your skin “breathe”. Also, you should not use foundations that contain too much oil or alcohol. Because the amount of oil originally provides moisture to the skin in winter, now it will be the “culprit” that makes your skin oily and ugly in summer.
Lipstick
Lips are sensitive areas, so if the effect of lip balm in winter is to reduce cracking, in summer, the lips need more moisture and protection against the harmful effects of UV rays. You should pay attention to choosing lipsticks with higher sun protection ingredients. In addition, the color of the lipstick between the two seasons also needs to be changed. Instead of the familiar warm colors of winter, bright colors will be a great suggestion to make your summer more exciting!
Eye makeup
Winter often inspires deep eyes and warm color tones. On the contrary, summer is the time for you to choose more natural eye shadows such as nude or bronze. Especially, for hot seasons, before using eye shadow, you should use an eye primer before applying eye shadow to prevent skin irritation from the sun. Hot weather tends to make the eyelids wrinkle quickly. Therefore, to overcome this drawback, you should use natural tones such as brown or light gray for daytime.
Powder
Similar to foundation, powder should also be selected with less oil that causes oiliness and has high coverage ability. In addition, to have a radiant and gentle face in summer, you should also apply a thin layer of powder, not as thick as in winter.
