HOT days got your make-up melting? Whether you’re heading off on your hols or sitting in the garden, warm weather woes are here.
Oilier skin, frizzier hair, make-up sliding off your face — the list goes on. But don’t sweat it! There are some simple, savvy, solutions. These tips will help you to stay looking fresh on even the most humid of days…
Keep your face on: Foundation running?
Boots Skin Clear Shine Removing Blotting Papers are some of the cheapest I’ve found, at £4 for 50 sheets — plus they’re similar to Clarins Pore Perfecting mattifying blotting papers, £15, from Debenhams.
When it comes to setting your slap, MUA is a great brand for summer-friendly make-up, and its primer and setting spray are both a cheap and cheerful £4 at Superdrug.
Save: £11 on blotting sheets
Don’t get dis-tress-ed: Dry hair is more likely to attract moisture, which can leave your tresses looking frazzled.
But you can combat this with a deep conditioner.
Wilko has a two for £6 offer on Aussie’s 3 Minute Miracle treatment, usually £4 each.
I’m also a fan of Garnier’s Ultimate Blends Frizzy Treatment mask, down from £6.99 to £3.49 at Boots.
Drying wet hair with a microfibre towel reduces frizz. Mountain Warehouse has one for £3.99, was £7.99.
Save: £4 on a towel
Don’t mist out: Everyone can cool down hot heads with a handy misting fan.
I love the portable options available from amazon.co.uk for £14.99 — cheaper than those sold at freemans.com for £30.
Save: £15.01
Break free from breakouts: Suncream can wreak havoc on your skin.
Nab Neutrogena’s Clear Skin sunscreen for £11.40, down from £14 at Amazon — cheaper than Vichy, £19 at Boots.
