Hot Mess to Hot Mama

It’s not the heat. It’s the humidity. Whatever. When the weather wraps a wet heated blanket around us, it’s hard to look and feel fresh. There’s a fine line between a dewy complexion and swamp skin.

Here’s a trifecta of self-tested sprays to the rescue.

Think of “All Nighter” by Urban Decay as hair spray for your face. Whether you’re headed to a wedding or to work, it sweat proofs makeup without feeling sticky. Follow the application directions and look as cool as a cucumber. $32, Ulta in Mt. Pleasant’s Town Centre. 

Waves should only crash on the beach – not on your head. Mist hair with “HumidityRx” by Colorproof. The lightweight spray distributes water-repelling polymers that holds hairstyles while keeping strands smooth. Walmart, $31.90.

When the temps are sweltering, signature scents fade fast. Seal your spritz of perfume with FrangranceLock. This sweet solution is only $14.99 at most CVS stores.

What’s your favorite summer beauty solution?
