We chatted about this two months back – before the sweltering temperatures of late – but a girl can never have too many tips up her sleeves for combating SUL (yes, we’re talking sweaty upper lip again), sticky underarms and frazzled hair.
Short of rushing to the shops and buying the biggest, most powerful fan you can lay your sweaty palms on, spending most of the day in a cool shower (not recommended with our water restrictions) or popping your head in the freezer every ten minutes, we’ve rounded up some of the more realistic ways to resist a total meltdown…
Even the boldest of beachgoers have the right to a little complexion perfection; Clinique Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15 ensures you stay natural and sweat-free, thanks to its humidity-resistance. One sweep across your mug and you’ll be dry – no sweat.
Nivea Pearl & Beauty Spray Deodorant is the perfect anecdote for damp, sticky pits. With added pearl extracts to ensure a dry, smooth underarm and 24-hour anti-perspirant protection, you can finally sport that light grey dress you’ve been eyeing without fearing pesky wet patches under the arms.
Worried about a slimy sun-screened beach bod? Fear not, sticky sand won’t stand a chance against the ultra-fine, super-light Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Mist SPF 30+ – that sprays evenly, requiring little effort to absorb into skin. This beach-season beauty will also keep you bone dry and suitably protected from UV rays.
Say goodbye to menacing fly-aways and haywire strands with this classic smoothing hair saviour. John Frieda FRIZZ-EASE® Original Formula Hair Serum will leave you looking sleek and chic without the just-jumped-into-the-pool wet look.
