The 10 Best Summer Beauty Hacks

The 10 Best Summer Beauty Hacks  

Summer Beauty Hacks

I’m a total summer girl. I love the sunshine, the bright summer mornings, and the heat. All year long, I wait for summer to finally come around to really get outside, and enjoy all that beautiful Vancouver has to offer. The rest of the year, I stick to staying indoors, wearing my cozy pajamas, and trying not to catch one of the many cases of flu going around. But, over the last few years I’ve realized that, while I adore summer, it’s definitely not everyone’s favourite season. It’s hot, sticky, and often leaves people feeling like a sweaty mess! Today though, I am sharing my top beauty hacks to help you look and feel great all summer long! With these 10 Best Summer Beauty Hacks you can say goodbye to sunburns and makeup melting off your face!!

The 10 Best Summer Beauty Hacks

1. Say No to Oily SPF Products

If you usually find that cream and spray sunscreens make your skin oily then swap them out for a powder SPF. Here are a few great options: 
 
   

2. Fix the Itch!

Mosquito bites are the worst – itchy, scratchy, and uncomfortable! But don’t fret if you get a bite or two, you can remedy the itchy bite by applying a thin layer of clear nail polish over top of it. I’ve tried it, and it works!  

3. Mix it Up

If you don’t want to buy a brand new foundation for summer then try just mixing it with sunscreen. This will thin out the foundation & provide your protection from the sun!

4. Naturally Bronze

Skip the contour. Contour lines can be quite obvious in bright lighting, especially sunshine. Instead, invest in a large fluffy brush, or a matte bronzer, and simply add a touch of colour to your forehead, temples, nose, and jawline. The larger brush will make it so there are no obvious lines while still adding a bit of a glow to your complexion.  

5. Use a Self Tanner

Rather than baking out in the sun, try using a self-tanner. Sun damage is a seriously scary thing, so be sure to lather up with sunscreen when you’re outdoors – and use a self-tanner to get that gorgeous summery bronze.

Looking for makeup products that will give you a beautiful bronzy glow? Here are a few of my go-tos!

DIY Coffee Body Scrub

Before applying a self tanner, you first have to exfoliate! Stop by to find my favourite inexpensive DIY coffee scrub (you likely already have ALL these ingredients!)

 

6. Add a Bit of Sparkle

To make your skin look even more glowy, bronzed, and gorgeous, add a dry shimmer oil into your body care routine. These oils will give you those super shiny legs that are totally #goals.   

7. Beachy Waves In an Instant

Get beach hair instantly with a sea salt hair spray.  Simply spray it on when you’re hair is damp to get loose beachy waves. This spray will make your hair wavy but can feel a bit heavy/crunchy if too much product is applied.
 
   

8. Soft Waves Overnight

If you have time, wash and braid your hair before bed. This will also achieve those perfect beachy waves but won’t require any product! For more while-you-sleep hairstyling tips, check out my guide to overnight hair care tricks for gorgeous hair!

9.  Pucker Up

To ensure your lips feel their best and don’t burn in the hot sun, invest in a lip balm with SPF.  

10. The Summer Beauty Swap

Swap out heavy makeup products and looks (such as a smokey eye, full coverage foundation, etc) for lighter products. Think SPF powder foundations, gold-tone highlighters, and tinted lip balms. I mainly do this just because I find heavier products feel quite uncomfortable on hot days. But also – the summer sun can make your makeup appear harsh, so lightening up is a great way to maintain a gorgeous natural summer makeup look. (You know – unless you want to go for vampy. ‘Cause at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you feel beautiful and love your look!)

    Bree, I am with you about the summer… even if it is hot it is awesome… I love being able to wear less clothing… it’s so good to ear lighter clothing and just go out without thinking of coats… the make up is great… I wear a little less in the summer xox

What a wonderful month. Full of love and snuggles and growth.

Seeing you become a father to our Liam has been the greatest gift and blessing. We love you 🤍

My heart is absolutely bursting right now. I can’t believe our little Liam is here. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He loves his sleep, is unbelievably strong, and is a total cuddle bug. Our hearts are so full 🤍🤍🤍

We had our scheduled c-section for the morning of May 3 and we knew going into it that there were two surgical routes that would be considered because of my prior spinal surgery. The first, the more routine c-section with either an epidural or spinal anaesthesia. The second, being fully put under with general anesthesia. I’ll be honest, I really thought we would be going with the first option(s) and that GA wouldn’t really be on the table. I didn’t want it on the table, but after speaking to the anesthesiologist, it became clear that it was the safest option. It was an emotional decision, I was really scared to be honest. It was not made lightly. I was walked into the OR at about 10:00am and by 10:13am, Liam was earthside and screaming. Jeremy was there to cut the cord and give him his first cuddles. It took me a bit longer to get to see our Liam because of this surgical route, and I feel so lucky knowing Jeremy was there to be with him in his first moments. He already is such a great dad 🤍

The last 48 hours have been a wonderful whirlwind. We are all doing well. We feel incredibly blessed to have our sweet Liam here💙

Thank you everyone for your kind messages. We feel the love all around 💙✨
