With summer around the corner, beauty routines should get switched up! Summer brings lots of changes, like changes in the air and skin. The sun is very strong and damaging, so we need to make sure that we use extra protection. Here are some beauty tips and tricks that are super helpful for summertime!

1. Use a foundation or BB cream with high SPF

Although this is not ideal for photos, it's better to protect your skin.

2. Don't forget to use lip balm, also with SPF, whenever you are outside

Your lips get burnt too, and believe me, it isn't fun.

3. Exfoliate your skin every few days

It helps to get all the extra dead, gross skin off. However, don't overdo it because it may make your skin more susceptible to burn.

4. Stay moisturized

Being in the sun for long periods of time will dry you out, so keep your skin extra hydrated!

5. Deep condition your hair

Along with keeping your skin hydrated, it is also important to protect your hair.

6. Use cream products on your face

Powders may dry out your skin, but creams will give you the summer glow that everyone wants.

7. Waterproof everything

If you do decide to put makeup on before going to the pool or beach, waterproof is key. We don't want things smudging everywhere.

8. Setting spray will keep your makeup on

9. Try to avoid excessive heat on your hair

The sun and beach dry it out enough.

10. Don't be afraid to have a dewy finish instead of matte, you don't look oily

11. Keep your face out of the sun and use bronzer to tan it instead

12. Stay hydrated

As much as your body needs the water, your skin also does too!
