Summer is in less than a week. Here are a few skin hacks that will help you throughout your Summer holidays.
1/Freshen up
The heat can have nasty effects on your skin: it can make your face oily or sweat. Here is how to counter this issue.
-homemade refreshing cleanser
Mix -the same quantity of- cucumber juice (that you obtain after putting your cucumber in a blender) and milk. Store the mixture in a container and put it in your fridge. Then, take a coton pad and soak it in the mixture. Apply on your face. Rince with water.
=> I tried it when I was doing a cucumber recipe and the results were amazing. I just don’t remember if I put milk in the mixture or not (I believe I didn’t) -I think adding milk is optional.
-buy spray water
Evian spray water is really convinient, especially if you are out and you are too hot and/or sweating.
-tissues, towels…
When your skin is too oily, gently press a tissue/towel (it even works with toilet paper) against it. This will absorb the oil from your skin.
2/Tan
-carrot juice
Carrot juice is known for its ability to help your skin get some tan. So drink carrot juice daily or as much as you can to get a nice tan.
-homemade cream to make your tan last longer
Melt 10g of Vaseline in 20cl of wheat seedling oil in a pan. Then remove the mixture from the stove and add the juice of two carrots. Put the creme in a container and store it in your fridge. Apply before going to bed.
3/Sun
You should always apply sunscreen, especially between 12h and 17h, when it’s particularly hot so as to avoid sunburns and to protect your skin.
What if I forgot and I have a sunburn which really hurts?
Don’t panic. Apply yogurt (like Greek yogurt) on the burn. This should ease the pain. You can also try with aloe vera.
-After sun homemade cream
Mix some cucumber juice with 2cl almond oil. Shake well. Apply on the evening/at night to keep your skin mosturised and soothed.
