5 beauty gestures to adopt in case of extreme heat

Summer is good, but by definition it's hot. Very hot. Too hot. So, we would enjoy spending our days in the shower, just to feel fresh and not having the impression of dripping as soon as we put a foot outside. Ah, beautiful utopia! However. In real life, we have to face the heat every day, whether to go to work or to go for a walk, vacation or not. So it's not easy to keep your makeup intact, to be pampered and to look beautiful and fresh all day long. Fortunately, there are some simple, quick and easy beauty gestures that you should use during hot weather to minimize the damage.

Remember to pack mattifying wipes
They are often forgotten and yet they work real little miracles. Mattifying wipes slip easily into any bag and help remove excess oil from the skin during the day due to heat. They thus prevent the skin from shining. In addition, they provide an instant sensation of freshness. We pass one on the face by dabbing especially on the T-zone (front-nose-chin). We advise : Matifying Papers, Nocibé, 4.90 euros 75 sheets.

Water, always water
In summer, water is your best ally in every way. Drinking a lot is essential to ensure complete hydration of the body and therefore of the face. In hot weather it is also well seen to carry in his bag a mini thermal water mist. It is sprayed all over the face from time to time throughout the day to ensure that the skin does not dry out too quickly. Not to mention that it refreshes well! We advise : Avene Thermal Water Spray, 2,60 euros the 50 ml.

We forget the foundation
With hot weather, we tend to sweat easily and the skin of the face tends to shine especially if the pores are clogged by too much makeup. It is therefore light in leaving aside the traditional foundation. As cosmetics are a field in perpetual innovation, there are perfect substitutes that guarantee a good-looking effect and a smooth complexion. So we opt for the combo CC Cream + BB Cream + Sun powder. For those who already have a perfect complexion, we can eventually stick to the CC cream and the sun powder. The complexion is plain, slightly tinted and protected from UV (we say thank you to the formulas "summer" BB creams) and the sun powder can sculpt the oval of the face by offering a good-looking effect. We advise : Nude Magic CC Anti-Redness Cream, L'Oreal, 14.50 euros. BB Cream Elizabeth Arden, 26 euros. Honey Bronze tanning powder, The Body Shop, 19 euros.

A little bit of dry shampoo
In summer, the scalp is hot too. So, to be sure to have hair on top all day, we do not forget to always carry a mini dry shampoo that we spray if necessary. This will reduce the excess of sebum of the scalp and will give a little more volume and freshness to your hairstyle. We advise : Blush Seduction Mini dry shampoo Fleurie, Batiste, 3 euros.

A light makeup
To feel beautiful and fresh all day long, the easiest way is to give in the ultra light. In beauty, this includes the box make-up. In other words, the summer, when it is not far from 40 ° in the shade, avoids the ultra-sophisticated and heavy make-up. The must: a shot of mascara black and a handsome lipstick neon and possibly matte. History to stay in the trend of summer. We advise : Mascara Respectissime, Ultra-soft, La Roche-Posay, 16 euros. Lipstick Color Sensational Vivids by Gemey Maybelline, Fuschia Flash, 11.25 euros.
