7 Feel Good Solutions for Summer

7 ‘Feel Good' solutions for Summer
Posted in Focus on you on October 1, 2008 by oradess

Here a just a few ways that you can have yourself feeling terrific in no time this Summer. The sunshine gives you a head start.

1. This has to be top of my list! 30+ SUNSCREEN.
You have to feel pretty good when you are not suffering from sunburn right? Not only do you not feel that dreadful pain (yes...we have all been there at some stage) think of yourself avoiding the long term damage. Wrinkles, sun spots, melanoma. Pretty good reason to feel good about using it.
2. Visit a beauty therapist
Shed your winter skin by visiting a well qualified beauty therapist. You can't have a radiant summer look without allowing your skin to rid itself of the drying effects of winter. (ask if you need a recommendation) There is also every chance your skin has done a 180 since winter and your needs have changed. Make-up looks 10 times better on a canvas that is in good condition. Have a chat about your current skin care routine.
3. Try tinted moisturisers or foundations that have some luminescence in them as an alternative to a full make-up look. If that skin is looking good it should be a piece of cake. Just becareful for us maturing ladies that we don't go overboard on the shimmer. Just a hint can lift the skin but you don't want to attract attention to make the little lines look any deeper than they are.
4. An old favourite - ‘paint your toenails'.
Red or hot pink are great feel good summer colours. Just as an aside they can make you feel better in winter too. Just remember to use a base coat so you protect the nail from discoloration. (Yes a base coat really does do something)
5. Visit someone who can help sort out your summer wardrobe.
Wear something new or reserect a favourite piece from last summer. There are websites such as bespokeimage.com.au (Melbourne) OR georgieandhector.com.au (Brisbane) that can offer lots of advice if you are too far away.
6. Get a new hairstyle.
This makes you feel a million dollars. I just had mine cut and colour a little lighter for summer and I can share that I am thinking to myself ‘What took you so long!"
7. Last but not least - Brighten up your make-up with a summer sheen of gold or copper colours on your eyes (Oradess ‘New Season' colour quad - antique white, gold satin, radiant copper, petal pink)

Take care,
