SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) The hottest days of the year can create a number of seasonal beauty challenges. Here’s a head-to-toe guide to looking and feeling your best in summer:

Hair

Both dry heat and humidity can cause hair problems, like drying and frizzing. Whether you’re hitting the beach or pool or just enjoying the warm weather, it’s essential to give your hair the care it deserves to stay both hydrated and frizz-free.

When enjoying the sun, try protective hairstyles such as buns, braids and ponytails. This will reduce frizz while preventing damage from wind and humidity. One bonus benefit to these ‘dos is that getting your tresses off your neck will also help keep you nice and cool.

Remember that just like drinking water hydrates your body, using the right shampoo and conditioner can both replenish and protect dehydrated strands. Your shampoo and conditioner should clean well, replenish, and smooth and condition to fight frizz and lock in the right balance of moisture.

The Honey and Hemp Oil collections from Herbal Essences are good choices for these hair goals. The Honey Daily Moisture collection is made with Manuka Honey to help restore essential nutrients and moisture, and nourish hair in need, while the Hemp Oil Frizz Control collection is designed to clean, hydrate and protect strands to fight frizz and maintain a smooth lightweight texture. Both collections contain a Pure Plants blend of aloe and lightweight camellia oil to help deeply nourish hair without weighing it down.

Skin

Unfortunately, summer activities and fashion choices can be associated with a number of skin care woes.

After swim sessions, take a quick shower to rinse off chlorine and prevent sensitivity and dryness. Whether you go for a run or play pickleball, don’t sit around in your workout clothes afterwards. Showering after sweat sessions of all kinds can help keep your skin clear of blemishes.

You may also be shaving more frequently in summer. Prevent razor burn with exfoliation and by using after care products that soothe skin.

Finally, when it comes to your long-term beauty and wellness, it’s essential to protect your skin with a broad spectrum SPF. Doing so is not only good for you, it can help prevent the appearance of aging.

Nails

If you’ll be wearing sandals regularly this summer, you’ll want to treat your feet to regular pedicures so they look their best. Start any at-home pedicure session by soaking your feet in a bath prepared with Epsom salt or essential oils. Dry your feet then use a pumice stone to gently remove dried skin and calluses. After clipping and shaping your nails, consider painting them with clear nail polish for a finished look, or go bold with a bright summer color.

With a few tweaks to your beauty regimen, you can wholly embrace the season while looking and feeling your best.
