Summer can be a glorious thing for women; the sunshine gives us that glowing highlight we strive for year-round. Yet, summer, like winter, requires its own beauty routine tweaks, especially as we make our way into the hottest of months. Beauty expert, Mercedes Sanchez, will share her favorite fixes to all your summer beauty woes and keep you glowing from head to toe.

  • HYDRATE: While it’s important to hydrate our skin on the surface, hydrating from the inside out is essential too! Try increasing your daily water intake and you’ll see a difference in your skin in no time.
  • TAKE YOUR VITAMINS: Like H2O, your nails can also benefit from the inside out. By taking vitamins for your nails, you can build stronger, clearer nails, and enjoy those mani/pedis even more!
  • SMILE THAT SHINES: A white smile is always in season! Upgrade your toothpaste to a product that gives your teeth that extra shine.
  • CLEANSE: It’s important to wash your beauty tools at least monthly to avoid the spread of bad bacteria. Clean brushes will also help create a smoother makeup look, while preventing breakouts.
