5 Beauty Hacks To Cope With The Heat And Humidity

Avatar

It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s steaming hot outside, and your make-up basically just melts off your face every time you get outdoors. Plus don’t even talk about your hair exploding into a frizzy mess. 

Yeah, us too. So here are five awesome fixes to deal with the weather right now and keep you looking and feeling good. 

1. Hair treat: Keraplex

To prevent your hair from going uber-frizzy, a hydrating treatment like Keraplex is mandatory. 

The latest and greatest in hair treatments, this has the Kera- from keratin treatments, and the -plex from Olaplex to help give your tresses back their strength. 

You can try it at Essentials Beauty Salon for discounted prices, this month only. 

Your hair will be silky smooth and strong in no time! (Okay, maybe a little time because the treatment takes a couple of hours, but it is so worth it). 

2. Cool your bod: cryotherapy 

For a rapid cool-down, Cryotherapy is ideal. 

Submerge your body in -300C degrees for three minutes and help stimulate blood flow, repair muscles and cool right down. 

It’s totally safe, and just tickles a little bit. Athletes use it for recovery, but it’s also handy for stimulating your metabolism and cooling you right down. 

There’s one in Emirates Towers.

3. Styles: hair braids 

Make the most of your frizzy hair with cool braids. They’ll keep the hair of your face, and keep it in check. 

There are a HUGE number of tutorials on Instagram and YouTube on how to try all different styles. Fun! 

If you’re not up to doing it yourself, head to the salon, like Marquee UAEwhere the styles are AED140, flat rate. 

4. Tanning: spray tans

Who’d have thought it’s too dang hot to sit out and tan? Plus, it’s better to not get skin cancer anyway, so get an awesome tan the safe and cool way, with a spray-tan. 

This one’s available by Fake Bake at Essentials Salon (AED175), or try Pastels Salon Dubai for Vita Liberata (AED190). 

5. Skin health: cooling face masks

Your skin might get a bit red and angry from the heat and humidity so it’s important to soothe and cool it. 

Try the Mask of Magnaminty by Lush, with cooling mint in it, or the sea kelp sheet mask by Starskin Beauty (available at Sephora).
