It's hot here in Arizona and it's not even summer. So I figure we better talk summer makeup now to prepare you for what is coming, inevitably to your town!

1. Sunscreen is a must, not an option, but a life saving must. Choose the highest you can for your daily wear and on days that you know you will be in the sun, practice the art of layering sun protection. Such as spray on your sunscreen ( the sprays are my favorite) now plan to add a zinc based mineral makeup over that and a set of glasses with a hat!

2. The zinc based mineral makeup can be Larenim, Arbonne of L'Oreal, just as long as it has the zinc oxide ingredient near the beginning because this is going to form a barrier between your skin and the sun.
*Note* your Sunscreens should always be dual spectrum UVA and UVB!

3. Plan to wear a large brimmed hat, something floppy so you can have a tousled hair style underneath so that when you go inside and pull off your hat there is a styled shaggy shape of curls that can be either side swept into a pony or half pulled up into the "half honey hive" as taught by me using the new Sebastian Volupt spray.

Always have uva/uvb protection sunglesses because retinas burn too!

Enjoy the tips and see you at the races!
