This Girl is on Fire

It’s hot. It’s hot everywhere, even places where the temps don’t usually creep past the century mark. So what is a person to do with their beauty routine when walking outside is like walking into an oven? Well there are a few products that help me get through those blazing hot, humid dog days of summer, so I thought I’d share them with you, so you can deal.
Maybe it’s the light touch of peppermint oil that really gets me going, but also the citrusiness of the blood orange is so fresh that I just can’t wait to reach for this scrub in the shower. I’m telling you, the combo is just stellar. It’s gently foaming, which I love, so I skip the step of washing my face in the shower, opting to just use the scrub (I use it about 2-3 times a week, which is me showing major restraint.) It never feels harsh on my skin, and the essential oils just make me ready to face the day, no matter what the weather report for the day is. I cannot say enough about how much I love this product.
Japan knows the unpleasant combo of heat and humidity, which is one of the reasons I look to Japanese brands when it comes to makeup. The Surratt Relevée Mascara is a tubing mascara, which means it doesn't have a wax base like most do, and that translates into a mascara that stays put on hot and humid days. No runny raccoon eyes and no smudgy shadows under your lashes by mid-day.
The last thing I want when the thermostat creeps above 90 is a blanket of hair on my shoulders. Whipping it up in a claw clip keeps your neck cool and breezy while adding a casual cuteness to your look.
If a claw clip isn't your vibe, reach for the bestselling Reed Clarke hair pin. Quickly twist your hair into an effortless chignon, an elegant low bun or a playful half-up-half-down look.
