SUMMER BEAUTY,

SORTED!

Never fear, Aveda's got you covered!

While summer weather is amazing, it can come with its fair share of beauty emergencies. Did you have a little too much fun in the sun? Is summer’s heat and humidity making your hair poof like crazy? Never fear, Aveda’s got you covered!

 

SUPER-DRY HAIR

Long days in the sun and surf can make your hair thirsty. We love using the Sun Care After-Sun Hair Masque to moisturise hair with the help of plant oils, and it doesn’t hurt to toss our NEW NutriPlenish Multi-use Hair Oil into your beach bag to moisturise during the day. Nutriplenish is infused with superfoods to hydrate and nourish dry, depleted hair with organic pomegranate oil, mango butter and coconut oil. If your hair really needs help, visit your favourite Aveda salon for a conditioning Botanical Therapy treatment, or try using the Dry Remedy Moisturizing Masque once a week to intensely moisturise your hair.

 

FRIZZ ON FRIZZ ON FRIZZ

For anyone with waves, curls or frizz-prone hair, humidity can be a real pain for your hair. If you like to wear your hair sleek and straight, prep with Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother to help defend against humidity for up to 12 hours, and pair it with the Glossing Straightener or Naturally Straight. If you like to airdry, the Nourishing Styling Creme will smooth hair and add moisture while locking out frizz.

 

If you’ve got curls or waves, you can use Be Curly Curl Enhancer and Nourishing Styling Creme together when air-drying to define waves and curls while reducing frizz, or use Be Curly Style-Prep and Curl Enhancer before diffusing your hair. Control Force will also keep your hair, well, under control during humidity, so use a few spritzes as a finishing touch and say bye to frizz.

 

HAIR COLOUR FADING

Hey, it happens. If you’ve noticed your Aveda colour is fading faster than a summer sunset, protect it every time you shampoo with Color Conserve Shampoo and Conditioner. Sun Care Protective Hair Veil protects hair from sun exposure to minimize damage and dryness, and it’s the perfect size for your beach bag.

 

OILY SKIN

Summer heat can really up your oil production, especially if your skin is oilier by nature. Try Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser to gently remove oil and impurities when you cleanse, and use the Oil Control Lotion to help absorb any surface oils instantly while still hydrating skin. To reduce excess oil during the day, try blotting papers or spritz your face with Botanical Kinetics Toning Sprayto balance and refresh your skin. It feels great on a hot day too — we always recommend keeping it in the fridge to really cool things down when the temp skyrockets.

 

DRY SKIN

If your skin feels dry and hot, cool down with the Botanical Kinetics Intense Hydrating Masque. It feels amazing when you leave it in the fridge overnight and apply it to warm skin the next day. Rosewater helps tone and refresh, while sodium hyaluronate, which is a sugar-derived humectant, helps to deliver essential hydration to thirsty skin. The masque hydrates and cools your summer skin, so make it a weekly habit!

 

MELTING MAKEUP

If you notice your makeup is dripping down your face on hot days, switch from a liquid formula to a powder. Our Global Artistic Director for Makeup Janell Geason recommends keeping pressed powder on hand when you know you’re going to be sweating, as well as blotting papers and Toning Mist.

 

TIRED, SORE FEET

If your feet are in need of some TLC this summer, treat them to Foot Relief! (You can even add a little Cooling Oil for extra refreshment.) Use it overnight with socks, or simply make it a habit once a day to moisturize your skin and get your soles in shape for sandal season.
