Summer beauty and skincare: Expert tips for heat management

As summer temperatures rise, various beauty and skincare experts offer guidance on maintaining health and appearance. Nutritional experts suggest consuming beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E to support melanin production and skin protection, while emphasizing the importance of hydration.

For makeup maintenance, the choice between cream and powder textures is critical. Cream products are recommended for dry skin to prevent dehydration, while powders are ideal for oily skin to absorb excess sebum. Setting powders, such as those from Hourglass or Huda Beauty, are highlighted as essential tools to fix makeup against heat and humidity.

Specific product recommendations include Natura’s citrus and aquatic fragrances for freshness, and various depilatory creams from brands like Veet and Womn for quick summer hair removal. Additionally, dermatologists suggest evening moisturizing rituals with urea or glycerin to prevent cracked heels caused by heat and open footwear. For achieving a sun-kissed look, selecting bronzers based on skin undertones—gold for warm tones and neutral brown for cool tones—is advised to avoid unnatural orange appearances.
