Wear sunscreen every time you go outside. Even when it's cloudy, you're gonna get burned. Skin cancer is really easy to get. Chose a sunscreen with 30 SPF (Sun Protection Factor) or higher and reapply every hour. You can even buy lip balm with sunscreen because your lips can get burned, too!
Go for the natural look. Get some waterproof mascara or just go without makeup (watch out, though -- to much waterproof mascara will dry out your lashes). You probably won't need much blush if you're running around and getting hot, but dust some over your eyes for a pretty look. Chapstick or lip balm make your lips look effortlessly lush.
Smell good. Get some fruity deodorant and some fruity body spray with a light summery scent.
Get a summer haircut. Adding layers gives your hair more volume while making your hair feel weightless.
When you plan on getting a tan, put a heart sticker on your ankle. When you're done with the sun, remove it and viola! You'll have a pretty heart design without getting a tattoo.
Hi melissa
ReplyDeleteI'm 12 and I'm wondering if you could do a post on periods because I don't know much about them and it would be helpful to know before they start.
PLZ can u include period pains cos I have pain in my lower tummy but don't know what it is.
Well...how about I just answer in a comment for now? (: It'd be kind of awkward to put this in a post as my dad reads them all the time. Ok, so the basics:
Delete- They usually last about a week, sometimes less
- After your body adjusts to them, you'll get them once a month
- If your period is heavy, wear super tampons, and wear tampons and pads at the same time for extra coverage
- If you have cramps, take Tylenol, Midol, or something similar and follow the dosage directions
- Drink lots of water
You can talk to your mom if you have any other questions. Hope this helps! (:
