Summer, everyone’s favorite time of year. When responsibilities are thrown out the window and life gets the better of us. Some of my favorite memories of my teen years have been created in the summer. There are a few things every girl needs in the summer. Here are some of my summer time essentials that I hope will help you beat the heat and have a good time.
Sunscreen. It is often forgotten that throughout the year, we should be applying sunscreen daily to protect our skin from the sun. It is most important in the summer to use sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, sunspots and wrinkles. Although they may not appear now, too much sun exposure will increase your risk. Try incorporating sunscreen into your morning routine before applying makeup or use a moisturizer with SPF in it.
Cheap Sunglasses. We need to protect our eyes from the sun because it can cause permanent damage. Sunglasses can be expensive though, so I look to Amazon for pairs because you can find plenty of cheap pairs to match any outfit.
Denim Jeans. This may seem obvious, but it is often very hard to find a pair of jeans that fits your legs and waist in a flattering way and doesn’t ride up. One of my favorite things to do is go to a thrift store or Goodwill and try on some jeans. Typically they cost under $10 for a pair and are made out of authentic denim. At home you can crop them and distress them to your desired appeal. It is a fun craft idea and makes your outfits more unique.
Waterproof Mascara. I think this is important to incorporate to your makeup routine if you like to wear mascara every day no matter what season. In the summer, we sometimes have spontaneous trips to the beach or pool that we don’t realize. In these situations it always comes in handy to already be wearing waterproof mascara so you don’t end up with racoon eyes. If you are worried about not being able to get it off, I recommend Neutrogena makeup wipes, they can get any makeup off.
