I LOVE having my nails done, eyebrows laminated and shaped, lashes looking great, etc. but we all know it gets EXPENSIVE!

The summer heat is approaching fast and furious so there is no time to dawdle on getting your skincare routine worked out and ready to go. It’s no surprise that the products you use during the colder months just do not sit as comfortably on the skin during sweating season. This is due to more natural oils making it to the surface of the skin via perspiration and creating an irritating excess when mixed with the lush and heavy oils that make up your favorite moisturizer. The skincare swing for summer is to go for lightweight creams if you have dry skin and stick to gel-base formulas if your skin is oily. If you have not started switching out your winter products to be more comfortable in the heat without compromising on your skincare, here is a list of tried and tested products that you can consider. These items are highly recommended by beauty voices like People and Good Housekeeping.
