As you might have noticed, heat & humidity can turn our summer beauty routine upside down. Whether it’s your hair or your skin, we have solutions for looking and staying fresh!
Talking skin: How to keep skin & makeup fresh when humidity strikes?
Never fear, experts at Clarity Medspa in Toronto can guide you towards no downtime treatments, products and even DIY fixes you can do at home.
Right off the bat, they will talk to you about daily cleansing that can simultaneously exfoliate while removing makeup, sunscreen, sweat and dirt. Exfoliation is the key to achieving and maintaining a brightened appearance, and while it is important to slough off dead skin cells, it is important to do so gently. Perfect any time of the year is Neocleanse™ Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser as it does just that, without stressing or dehydrating the skin.
Many of you will ask about make-up, as it’s next to impossible to prevent it from melting off on humid days. “Our motto” says Linda Murphy of Clarity is “‘less is more. We recommend addressing brown spots, scars and large pores with professional treatments throughout the year, which in turn, will lessen the need for makeup. Also known as The Hollywood Facial, Spectra™ Carbon Laser Peels not only improve texture, they reduce oil and shrink pores.
Summer might also mean it’s time to use a lighter moisturizer. A favourite amongst all skin types is Endocare Tensage™. Especially through summer, it functions well as both a day and night cream. Although Tensage™ feels luxurious, is not greasy and is scientifically proven to repair the effects of environmental toxins, UV and injury from breakouts.
On the topic of hair: How to keep frizz in-check.
As tempted as you might be to load up with anti-frizz products, look at ingredients first. Often, these shampoos and conditioners will leave residue that makes hair heavy. While your stylist can talk to you about professional treatments to straighten hair, consider a leave-in conditioner such as Ghost Oil™ (Paraben, sulphate and phthalate free) or Lakme™ leave-in products that strengthen and smooth hair from inside out.
Aaron O’bryan celebrity stylist of the Marilyn Dennis Show shares simple tips: “Stay on top of your cuts to prevent split ends…these accentuate frizz. Next, find a leave-in product suited specifically for your hair type. If you are daring, talk to your stylist about changing up your cut to better suit your hair’s natural curl.”
