Tomorrow's humidity percentage for Hartford is predicted to be 69%...are you prepared? It's difficult to look your best when the summer heat and humidity melts off your foundation and frizzes out your hair. Luckily, just a couple tweaks to your daily
regimen can help you beat the heat.
The number one way to combat humidity is witch hazel toner. Most skin toners are alcohol-based, which can irritate skin under harsh summer conditions. Using toner with witch hazel will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. It's also a melt-resistant base for your makeup.
Another product switch that can help combat a face of melted makeup is switching from liquids to powders. BareMinerals offers a complete line of skin essentials, some of which even have SPF 15. For your eyes, avoid liquid eyeliner. Instead, use a small application brush to sweep a dark eye shadow along your lash line. To help the powder stick, run the brush under water before dipping it in the eye shadow.
To tame frizzy hair provoked by humidity, avoid blow-drying at all costs. This may mean showering at night, and letting your hair air-dry while you sleep...but it will help. Once your hair is styled, be sure to use a lightweight hairspray to ensure to frizzies, and keep the oily factor under control.
