Summer beauty fails: 8 common mistakes and how to fix them!

Summer is a season associated with leisure, travel, and a more relaxed daily pace. However, this welcome sense of ease should not lead to neglecting personal care, particularly when it comes to skin, hair, and overall appearance. If you want to fully enjoy the summer months without dealing with the consequences later (ex. dryness, signs of photoaging, dull complexion, or damaged hair) pay attention to the following most common summer beauty mistakes and learn how to fix them before it is too late!

Neglecting sunscreen on less obvious areas: While daily facial suncare application is essential, it is not enough. Areas like the ears, lips, eyelids, neck, and scalp are equally vulnerable to the harmful effects of sun exposure and should not be overlooked. MACROVITA Sun Protection Spray SPF50 with aloe vera, panthenol & olive oil, provides comprehensive protection for both face and body.

Taking hot showers after the beach: After sun and saltwater exposure, your skin is already dehydrated. A hot shower only worsens irritation, dryness, and peeling. Opt for cool or lukewarm water instead and, immediately after showering, apply MACROVITA After Sun Face & Body Milk with aloe vera, panthenol & olive oil. Specially formulated for post-sun care, prevents peeling while helping maintain your tan. At the same time, delivers intense hydration and soothes the skin, leaving it soft and rejuvenated.

Using tanning oil without SPF at the beginning of summer: We all cherish that sun-kissed glow, yet the use of tanning oils without sufficient sun protection, especially early in the season, can be harmful. For a safe, natural tan, choose MACROVITA Deep Tanning Oil SPF6 with carrot oil, avocado oil & olive oil.

Neglecting hair protection from the sun: Hair, much like skin, needs targeted protection during the summer as UV radiation, chlorine, and seawater lead to dryness, color fading, split ends, frizz, and loss of shine. Choose MACROVITA Hair Conditioner-Water with red grape & avocado. Eliminates static electricity and conditions hair, for easy combing. Additionally, treats and protects hair, offering vitality, softness, and shine.

Using rich-textured, winter skincare products: Skin care needs evolve with the seasons. During warmer months, heavy, rich formulations may overwhelm the skin, thus you should switch to lighter textures. MACROVITA Ultra-fine Moisturizing Cream 24 hours with olive oil & aloe vera is exactly what you need.

Wearing heavy makeup in the heat: Makeup tends to break down under heat and excessive perspiration. While at the beach, replace your foundation with MACROVITA Suncare Face Cream DD SPF50 Tinted with aloe vera, panthenol & olive oil. Strongly combats photoaging and intrinsic aging, while ensuring maximum protection, enhancing the synthesis of skin’s structural proteins and defense capacity. Protects cells against all damages caused by exposure to radiation of the entire spectrum (UV, IR, BLUE LIGHT), while it is ideal as a light makeup, offering a uniform skin color tone, natural coverage, velvety sense, and a matte finish.

Not cleansing your face properly: Suncare cream, combined with sweat, dust, and environmental pollutants, can create a residue that is hard to remove with a single cleansing step. Proper cleansing is essential for maintaining clear and healthy skin during summer, as we have already explained in our blog. It is time to embrace double cleansing!

Not drinking enough water: Hydration starts from within. Even the best skincare products will not work on a dehydrated body. Aim for at least 2 liters of water daily. If you consider plain water boring, you could try infused water. Lemon, mint, or berries provide natural flavor and antioxidant benefits.

Small changes make a big impact. By refining your daily habits and choosing season-tailored products, you can preserve and enhance your natural beauty throughout the summer months effortlessly and effectively. Do not wait for your holiday – act now. It is summer already!
