Aloe vera from the freezer and olive oil in the shower? No, these are not household tips, but two examples of clever beauty hacks for summer. With our five practical household tips, you can keep a cool head even when it’s hot outside!
It’s finally summer! As the temperatures rise, not only does our mood improve, but so does our desire to spend warm days outdoors. Minor sun mishaps are inevitable – but with our household beauty hacks, you can easily get over them!
1. Beauty hacks: Aloe Vera for sunburn
Ouch! A short nap in the sun turned into an involuntary deep sleep without sufficient sun protection? The result is sun-reddened, irritated skin that feels unpleasantly tight. The SOS solution: Aloe vera ice cubes from the freezer soothe, cool, and care for the skin in just one step. Making them is actually as easy as it sounds: pour aloe vera gel into ice cube trays, put them in the freezer, and have the little helpers ready when you need them. A life hack that is a real blessing for sunburn!
2. Beauty hacks: Store cosmetics in the fridge
After a summer night that is far too warm, a light day cream provides the ultimate kick of freshness in the morning. Applied directly from the fridge to overheated skin, it also has a decongestant and pleasantly cooling effect.
3. Beauty hacks: How to make blow-drying bearable in summer
On hot days, reaching for the hairdryer often becomes a nuisance. If air-drying isn’t an option for you, a simple trick can help: spray deodorant on the back of your neck. It sounds strange at first, but it blocks the sweat glands and makes the hot hairdryer routine much more pleasant.
4. Beauty Hacks: Baby powder against the sand on the skin
Everyone knows it: after a day at the beach or at the local lake, a lot of sand often sticks stubbornly to the skin. The baby powder trick helps here: simply spread it on the affected areas, the talcum powder it contains binds the moisture and the sand is easier to get rid of.
5. Beauty hacks: Soothe skin while shaving
Admittedly, in summer, most people are a little more careful with hair removal than in winter. To prevent skin irritation with razor burns, itching, or small spots, you need the right skincare companion. If you are not a fan of shaving foam or gel, you should try shaving oil. Olive or baby oil also improves gliding properties, binds moisture, and ensures smooth, well-groomed skin. Be careful; risk of slipping!
