Summer is vacation time. No matter what you choose - outdoor activities, sunbathing on the beach or a cultural program around the city - it's important to pack in advance and pay attention to cosmetics. Put in a cosmetic bag not only decorative cosmetics, but also face and body creams, but first things first.
Decorative cosmetics
When collecting cosmetics on vacation, take only what you will use for sure. You should not take on vacation three palettes of eyeshadows, a couple of foundation creams of different densities and tones - a light water-based foundation is enough. Also suitable are bb or cc creams that combine care and even out skin tone without weighing it down. An important thing in choosing a foundation for summer is the presence of an SPF factor for sun protection.
If you are relaxing on the sea, do not use tonal foundations on the beach, because you run the risk of remaining with a white face with a tanned body.
Powder it up just before going out. Replace compact powder with matting wipes. This will keep the makeup "in place" and will not drip from the heat, but at the same time you will not overload the skin with an additional layer of makeup.
Eyebrow dyeing and eyelash extension procedures will save space in your bag (after all, you don't have to take mascara and pencils with you), plus everything, they will allow you to swim without fear of leaving your makeup in the water.
Do not forget to put lip glosses and balms in your cosmetic bag, because in the summer sun they burn out in the same way as the skin of the face, but it will be much more difficult to get rid of peeling on them (for this you need a scrub).
If the cosmetic set does not strongly depend on the place of rest, then the care products may differ slightly.
Care products
1. Sunscreen
When going to the sea, be sure to bring sunscreen with you. Choose the SPF factor according to your skin type. If it is light and does not tan well, then choose a high level of protection - from 40 to 50. If you tan easily, then start with 30-35, and when the skin adapts, you can reduce the level of protection to 15-20.
Sunscreens are also very important for outdoor recreation. Many people underestimate the sun in the mountains or in the forest, but that is why it is a fear, which means, in addition to the obvious harm to health, the risk of getting a peeling nose and a reddish "summer resident's tan" on a T-shirt by the evening increases.
2. Tanning oil
If you want to become the owner of bronze skin, you can use tanning oil: you will have an even skin tone. In addition to all of the above, tanning oil will help restore skin after intense sunbathing, because it contains caring substances that restore water balance. But be careful, because this product has a small degree of protection and is suitable for skin that has already got used to active sunlight.
3. Products after sunburn
After sun products can be in the form of a cream or a spray. Almost all of them contain panthenol to heal sunburn. If our goal is simply to soothe the skin, then the composition requires vitamins C and E, as well as aloe vera, avocado and grape seed oils.
4. Protection against insects
Here you need to protect yourself, first of all, from insects that can harm your health, and we are talking about ticks. Be sure to take out travel insurance and bring tick protection. To prevent outdoor activities from turning into an active fight against mosquitoes, do not forget a spray or cream that will repel insects.
5. Thermal water
If you have worked out a route for your trip around the city, then thermal water will be a plus to all of the above: it will help refresh your skin even in a stuffy city. It will not ruin your makeup, unlike a simple wash. In addition, thermal water soothes and soothes skin irritations and is an antioxidant.
By the way, it will come in handy during a long flight. As well as eye patches. They will help relieve swelling.
6. Cleansing and antibacterial agents
Don't forget to put antiseptic and wet wipes in your bag. Bring more serious antiseptics, such as chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide, for scratches and serious wounds that may occur during rest.
And enjoy your stay!
