Summer is about the beach, warm gatherings in the evenings, and all the sun you can soak up! When enjoying your summertime festivities, it is essential to boost your lash care routine. Here are five things we love to participate in during summer and what we do to keep our lashes looking flawless all summer long!
1. Star Stunner Glasses! We love LOVE love wearing our favorite pair of sunglasses out and about! During Summer, we wear them for more extended periods. If you live in a little slice of tropical paradise-like St Petersburg, Florida- we know how intense the heat and humidity are. We like to rinse our lashes with fresh water and give them a good brush, especially if we have been walking the boardwalk or at a park! Rinsing and gently brushing your lashes after wearing sunglasses allows the accumulation of sweat and loose skin to be cleared from the lash line and promotes healthy lash growth!
2. Swimming like Mermaids! Who doesn’t want to be a mermaid? Swimming is part of the Summer fun! However, both chlorine and saltwater can be harsh on your lashes over time. After a good swim, go ahead and give your lashes a freshwater rinse and gently brush. These steps will keep your lashes looking fresh and full.
3. We are soaking up that sun! Sunbathing at the beach or the pool is top of the list for summertime activities. Who doesn’t enjoy a beautiful day spent outdoors sunbathing? We are all aware of the importance of wearing sunblock to protect our skin, but what about our lashes? Does direct sun harm our lashes? The answer is yes. The direct sun puts a lot of heat on your body. This heat can make the glue that keeps your lashes on more malleable, leading to premature lash shedding and potential clumping. To protect them, we wear stylish floppy hats and our favorite shades! Once you are all done sunbathing, give your lashes a fresh rinse and gently brush.
4. Volleyball anyone? Summer sports are the best! Get in an excellent workout while enjoying the company and friendly competition! While you’re getting a good sweat on, keep in mind your eyelashes are catching any forehead sweat that comes their way. With sweat comes sticky sand and dead skin. So after your triumph on the court, be sure to rinse your lashes and gently brush them. Doing so will remove any sweat or buildup sitting on your lash line!
5. Roadtrip! So many places to visit, and only one summer! We know summertime is the best time to visit friends and family. What a great excuse to break out of the daily routine? We love Vacas too. Roadtrips, in particular, can be exhausting. When we leave for any trip, we make sure all our essentials are with us. For our lashes, these essentials include Lashampoo, Lash Brush, Delux waterproof eyeliner, and Lip & Eye Makeup remover. These oil-free products allow us to look our best when enjoying the open road!
Please take to practice these tips and enjoy your summertime bliss! We look forward to hearing all the exciting experiences you have to share during your next visit!
