SUMMER BEAUTY.... with L'Oreal Paris!

by Sinnmer K. Teacher

This is my first summer with ombré hair (here's a quick reminder of the kit I used- L'Oreal Paris ombré kit- and the tutorial on Youtube). Reason why I feel like I have to take care of my hair a little more because of the lighter ends... and well, because the sun, humidity, pool, ocean water, and sand have no mercy (and more because I live in Miami and the beach is right around the corner). Here are a couple of tips and products to take care of your hair and skin this season. 1. Hats are you best friends when you are long hours at the beach- not only they make you super chic but they also protect your hair and face from UV rays. There are a lot of styles to choose from but my recommendation is to look for beach hats and hats with a wide brim. Not a fan of hats? a fun alternative is wearing a scar (very J.lo) 2. Perform deep conditioning as often as you can. Apply it after shampooing and leave it as long as possible. Recommendation: L'Oreal Paris Moisture Rush Mask ($6.99) 3. I know many of you like to lay on a towel for hours to get a nice tan- but you have to remember how dangerous it is for your skin. In order to prevent skin cancer, I prefer using a self-tanner. For a nice natural-looking tan, I recommend: L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Pro Perfect ($10.99) - it comes as a spray so it's very easy to apply. 4. You have probably heard about morrocan oil and its amazing benefits for your hair. So this treatment is definitely a must- it not only hydrates your hair but it leaves it very shiny and healthy. L'Oreal Paris Precious Oil Treatment ($12.99) 5. You already know that I prefer to be pale that doing irreversible damage to my skin- reason why I ALWAYS use sunscreen (at least on my face and neck). However, if you are going to be extreme long hours under the sun, I recommend using a high SPF sunscreen like L'Oreal Paris Sublime Sunscreen SPF 100 or SPF50 (it comes as a lotion or as a spray) lace dress:shop womens lace dress 6. No matter how many lotions we use, hydration should start from the inside... drinking water is very important during the summer (especially if you are under the sun for a long time).The recommended amount is 8 cups or 2 liters; but remember everything in excess is bad... drinking too much water can damage your liver and kidney. 7. I'm all for using as little makeup as you can on the beach/pool- but I'm the first one trying to hide acne marks and little imperfections. That's why I love"BB Creams" so much- they hydrate, they have SPF, and they even out skin with a little tint that nobody will notice. 8. More on the previous tip: since you want to use as little makeup as possible, I recommend using a face moisturizer that helps even out skin tone (from age sports or acne marks). I've been using this moisturizer and I absolutely love it- it leaves my skin feeling extremely soft and it also has SPF 30. (L'Oreal Paris Youth Code moisturizer ($24.99)) 9. Let's not forget about wearing sunglasses with UV protection. The skin around our eyes is extremely sensitive and we have to protect it as much as we can...and the easiest way is with a big pair of sunglasses. 10. Finally, if you want to feel girly and beautiful...the best way is using a little mascara (but remember it has to be waterproof, we don't want to have black stains all over our face after getting out of the water). Recomendation: L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara ($9.95) 11. oasap shoulder bags:click here What do you do to take care of your hair and skin during the summer?
