A Experts'
no-sweat fixes for your summer hair, skin and makeup
problems
Sun, sand, and water? Those sound like the elements of a
perfect day. But the things you love about vacation season
are no day at the beach for your skin and hair. We've got
the cures for those summertime blues.
Is there any way I can keep my hair from frizzing like a
poodle's?
— Kindra W., Altamonte Springs, FL
Seal damp strands with frizz-fighting products that contain
a type of silicone, like Matrix Sleek Look Sealing Serum.
And use a flatiron after blow-drying. The extra step will
keep your hair on its leash.
I want to look good in sandals. What can I do to keep my
heels from cracking?
— Elizabeth R., Raleigh, NC
Coat your feet nightly in a rich lotion with hydrators like
urea and exfoliators such as salicylic acid or lactic acid.
Try Pedi-Relax Exfoliating Cream for Feet, which contains
all of the above. If nothing fills in the cracks after a
week, you may have a fungus. See a doctor.
Can you suggest an eyeliner and a mascara that won't slip
off in the heat?
— Patty S., Janesville, WI
Maybelline New York Great Lash waterproof mascara can take
the heat, and so can long-wearing eyeliners from Christian
Dior, Smashbox, and Styli-Style. To make sure your makeup
goes the distance, first sweep a cotton ball dabbed with
gentle astringent over your (tightly shut) lids. We like
Fresh Seawater & Iris Root Treatment Toner.
