10 Lazy Girl Summer Beauty Tips

1.Wear A Hat
Be stylish and smart by popping on a floppy topper before heading out to your cabana. The style feels old-school glam, but has the added nicety of covering up your ears and hairline should you forget to reapply sunscreen as often as you should.

2.Baby powder

Make sure your bathroom vanity is stocked with a bottle of baby power. The multi-use hero is good for any uncomfortable chafing that might happen on your long beach stroll. It's also good at taming oily locks, too—it was the original dry shampoo!

3.Counter Culture

Have a formal shindig that requires more than just a coat of mascara and some lip balm? Avoid stressing over it by heading to a makeup counter at your local department store. The pros there will happily show you the wares—a.k.a. do your makeup.

4.Cut Your Own Bangs

Maintaining fringe is hard! For the best trim at home, twist small sections of your bangs and cut into them by holding your scissors horizontal to strands, rather than perpendicular. Too scared? Check and see if your salon offers free touch-up snips.

5.Pick Paper

Towel-dry your strands faster by picking something other than terry cloth: Paper towels are way more absorbent! Grab a few from the kitchen and squeeze out water before using your dryer.

6.Stick It On

The bevy of nail stickers out there are way easier to apply than you think. If you haven't tried, pick some up! Sally Hansen uses real polish, meaning they're easy to remove, and a new pedicure version lets you get gussied up on the cheap (and on your own couch!).

7.Use Spray Tan Protection

Ladies that use self-tanner, whether at home or in a spray tanning salon, know the dread of getting solution on their sheets. Extend laundry day by slipping an old t-shirt over your pillow before you hit the sack. It'll protect your linens from any color rubbing off.

8.Shave Smartly

If you're anything like us, shaving…sucks. Simplify the process by picking up a razor with built-in shave bars (we love this Schick one). It lets you skip cream or gel, and moisturizes simultaneously. Short-shorts, here you come!

9.Use a Primer

The silky formula feels lightweight on and only adds seconds to your routine. It gives your foundation, bronzer, and blush something to hold on to, making it stay longer. You get to reapply less frequently.

10.Shower Before Swimming
Even if your backyard water is calling your name (loudly), wait a sec before diving in. Step into the outdoor shower that's a fixture at most pools and get your mane wet. Thirsty, dry hair strands will soak up fresh water before being touched by chemical-filled, chlorinated liquid. Makes sense, right?
