As we hit mid-summer, we thought it the perfect time to share our top summer hair and beauty tips. Summer is a time to be more active and to enjoy the longer days. At Mineral Lifestyle Hair Spa we are avid followers of Ayurveda principles of wellness. General summer wellness tips that align with Avurveda principals like jumping in the ocean for a salt cleanse regularly, eating more cooling foods such as cucumber, mint, and coriander to cool you from the insides, and start something new for your health and fitness, or a hobby! Below is our top wellness and beauty tips for your hair, face, body, and make up that will hydrate, enrich and maximise your summer glow.

Top tips for: Hair

For all you beach bums and pool junkies, Aveda Sun Care Hair and Body Cleanser is just what you need to remove chlorine, salt and product build-up, and not over-dry your scalp or body.
The intense summer sun dries the hair out, replenish its moisture with a moisturizing conditioner every time you wash your hair and better still use a hair masque every week to restore health back into your hair.
Braids and plaits are in this season and they are great way to keep your hair tame in the humidity (go to out instagram for braid inspiration).

Top tips for: Face

It can't be said enough - protect your skin from the sun! Make sure you apply AVEDA Inner Light Mineral SPF 15 every day and reapply every 2 hours.
In the warmer months you are more likely to get breakouts, so make sure you cleanse your skin well both morning and evening.
Follow your cleansing with a hydrating toner, and finishing your skincare routine with a lighter weight moisturising lotion, which is better suited to Australia's current humidity.
Exfoliate your face and neck 1 -2 times a week or use a liquid exfoliant every night to keep the skin smooth and clear.

Top tips for: Body

Hot showers after sun exposure further dry skin-turn, so down the temperature of your shower during this time of year.
Ditch those exfoliation mitts that have been sitting damp in your shower for weeks and exfoliate your body weekly with AVEDA Body Polish to get rid of dead skin and follow with your favorite moisturizer.
Keep your hands smooth and with AVEDA Hand Relief to sooth dry hands and gently exfoliate.
Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body! For a little extra flavor and to make it more refreshing put some basil or mint in your water.
Get a safe summer glow come in for a Vani-T spray tan.

Top tips for: Make Up

Go bright with a new lipstick shade this summer. Using a brighter lipstick will give you a more made up look without having to wear lots of make up.
Avoid super heavy make up and go for something lighter; the foundation and powders are a light weight complexion option from AVEVDA. They perfect to even-out your complexion, absorb oil, and give you sun protection too.
For a natural and sun kissed look apply bronzer - try to go for a more subtle shade to gently illuminate the skin rather than to make it look darker.
