So this weekend's forecast has shown that this weekend is going to be rather hot, sweaty, and the hottest weekend of the year so far. For most of us, this would mean going outside, having a BBQ, sun bathing, whatever tickles your pickle. However while you're doing all these activities, the sun is penetrating you with it's very toxic UV rays, getting into your skin and making you more at risk of diseases and even skin cancer.
The obvious option to take would of course be wearing much less makeup so you can apply lots of sun cream throughout the day (around 3, depending on how hot it was and how quickly you burn) unless you really need to wear makeup, i recommend wearing a foundation or concealer with built-in SPF, but because it's going to be THAT hot, I would have thought it would just slide off your face and possibly onto the floor, so always have some sun cream near, no matter what.
Another importance is water; to keep yourself hydrated and healthy. The recommended amount of water to drink would be 8 glasses a day, but i personally think a little bit more is needed in hot weather, just to take extra care and caution.
I know this hasn't been a long post AT ALL, but it was just a mini reminder to help protect you and your skin from getting ill, so i really hope you enjoy this mini heatwave we've been expecting, and have fun! I'll try my best to tan, but at the minute I'm a bit like a milk bottle!
