Summer Essentials
Summer is in full bloom in this part of the world! In fact, these past few days have been extremely humid that outdoor activities seem to be impossible. Funny how I always wait for Summer but always ending up dreading it because too much humidity makes me feel so uncomfortable. More like a love and hate relationship! And so in order to survive this season, I rely on a few things to make my summer life a little bit easier. Here are my Summer Essentials!
SunniesSunnies are not only a fashion statement but it’s perfect for protecting our eyes from the sun. I am currently loving this pair from H&M which is really simple but fab!
Sandals
I hate having sweaty feet and so sandals are just perfect this season! It allows my feet to breath and is very comfy to walk with.
SPF
I personally use Sunscreen all-year round but I take it more seriously every Summer. It is very important to protect our skin from the UVA and UVB rays so I would recommend for everyone to do the same. If you wear makeup, you can try the Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Water Light Sunscreen.
Mattifying Moisturizer
My skin can become really oily during Summer so I prefer a matte moisturizer for a daily use. I am currently using Origins’ Original Skin Matte Moisturizer. It is very light and helps to minimize any oiliness.
Light Perfume or Cologne
The Summer heat can get me really sweaty so I always carry a light smelling perfume or cologne to avoid any bad smell. However, having a good hygiene is still the key to avoiding any body odor!
Makeup
I will be sharing a different post about my Summer Makeup Essentials but for the purpose of this post, I want to share that nude lipsticks, setting powder and pressed powders are a must for me!
Unique Bags
Summer is a time to sport all your unique and statement bags because you can easily pair it with different outfits. I am currently loving this rattan crossbody bag from Zara. It’s one of a kind and adds glam to any look.
Clothing
For clothes, I prefer the ones with soft and light materials to let my skin breath. For my work outfits, I would usually sport palazzo pants or midi skirts. Shorts and dresses are also a good choice especially when I am out strolling or for a night out!There goes my Summer Essentials! Share yours in the comment box below! xoxo,
