SWEAT-PROOF MAKE-UP FOR THIS SWELTERING SUMMER

Sweating isn't exactly fun for anyone—but it's especially problematic for mature women. Sweat, oil, and heat can be a recipe for disaster.

As we age, our skin tends to become drier and more porous. That makes it even more susceptible to irritation by the elements like heat, sweat, or windburn.

When skin is irritated or damaged, there's an increased risk of breakouts caused by bacteria entering the pores through cracks in the epidermis.

No one wants that!

Protect From The Sun

The sun can be dangerous and harmful to your skin, so it's imperative to protect yourself from it. There are several ways you can do this:

Use sunscreen at least 15 minutes prior to going outside.
Wear a hat or other head covering when possible.
Wear sunglasses whenever possible too! Sunglasses will help shield sensitive eyes from harmful UV rays while also helping keep moisture out by protecting them from sweat.
Wear long-sleeved shirts/sweaters/blouses made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen instead of synthetic ones.
Make sure your skin is hydrated. Mature epidermis is thin and sensitive. It tends to lose moisture. We recommend wiping your face with ultra-hydrating PrimeSkin Beauty Water before you venture out.
PrimeSkin is designed to protect your skin’s precious barrier and keep its pH intact.

Wear Less Makeup

To make sure you’re not the victim of makeup fallout, experts advise doing this step first in your makeup routine.

Of course, mascara makes for the biggest culprit for caking the under eye with fibers and the phenomenon of panda eyes.

Doing the eyes first will make it easy to wipe away any fallout before you’ve used concealer.

Wear Mascara That is Longstay But Not Waterproof

Wearing waterproof mascara is not the best option during the summertime because it is oil-based. This makes lashes brittle and can cause them to fall out faster.

Instead, opt for a water-based mascara that hydrates lashes while not flaking or staining the under eyes.

They will keep your lashes looking fresh and defined throughout the day (even when you're sweating).

Many silver beauties recommend using PrimeLash Mascara.

It is great at nourishing your lashes, without clumping or smudging through an active day. Bye-bye panda eyes.

On top of keeping your lashes looking their best in the summer heat, PrimeLash Mascara has added benefits such as vitamins A & E and herb extract to reduce brittleness, to encourage plumping up of thin lashes, and to coax more natural lash growth by influencing how your lash cells behave.

Replace Shine With Dewiness

When you’re trying to look cool, the last thing you want is your forehead glistening and your nose shining like a beacon.

It’s time to replace sebum shine with dewiness.

Tinted moisturizers and setting powders with a matte finish will help to eliminate shine. Try using a matte powder, eye shadow, bronzer, or blush instead of shimmery ones.

Matte lipsticks and lip glosses are also great choices for controlling excess oil in the summer months.

Conclusion

Makeup can be a great way to feel confident and beautiful, but when you sweat or get oily, it can make you look older and duller.

So, if you have an upcoming event and want to look your best without having to reapply your makeup every few hours, try some of these tips!
