Colorful nails, self tan and more. We'll reveal the hottest beauty trends for the summer months! We also have helpful tips on how to use self-tanners correctly.
1. Colorful, more colorful, nails
Especially in summer it is really fun to wear colorful outfits. This season, it's not just our clothes that are colorful: ours too Fingernails get a good dose of color away. Flashy nails are THE THING at the moment. The brighter the better. Entrepreneur and reality star Kylie Jenner, fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni and many other celebs have of course already jumped on the trend - we love to be inspired by them.
A little hint:
Shellac nails! Unlike gel or acrylic nails, Shellac does not stick on fake nails. It consists of several layers of a special nail polish that is fixed using UV light. This means that the nail polish lasts for up to five weeks! It's best to ask a nail salon near you. There are now kits that you can make yourself. Have fun being creative!
2. Summer tan from the tube
Who doesn't dream of a deep summer tan a lá Alexis Ren and Co.? But many of us don't want to expose ourselves to the sun all the time (harmful!) Or instead of the desired sunkissed look just get sunburn anyway (even more harmful!)
Of the healthy keys to tanning happinessmeans: self-tanner. Admittedly, it is not always that easy to apply the good self tan without leaving any stains. But it will definitely work with our tips.
Use self-tanner correctly:
- Take your time and make sure to really hit every part of the body
- Apply piece by piece: first one arm, then the other, then the cleavage, etc.
- Do not exfoliate the skin immediately before use! The flakes of skin may still be roughened. It is better to use a chemical peel (AHA or BHA) two to three days before application.
- Let the self-tanner soak in long enough - at least 30 minutes, better still more. If you get dressed too early, you wipe the self-tanner off your clothes. What remains: stains.
One hears again and again that fake tan is supposed to be unhealthy. Here we explain what's going on.
3. Beach hair
Undone Hair - but on purpose! Beach hair is making a comeback every summer and we get it. There's just something incredibly cool, surfer girl-like about it when your hair looks a bit wavy and disheveled in summer. You can find out here how you can make the trend hairstyle your own even in the long term. A curling specialist initiated us into the art of modern perm technology!
How to Get Beach Hair:
Wash your hair and add conditioner. Then don't brush your hair, just dry it off. We put a styling cream into towel-dried hair, which we knead well upside down. Let air dry - knead again and again while doing this. As a finish, we spray salt spray into your hair and the ultimate holiday hairstyle is ready!
4. Look without makeup
We just love summer. Sweet clothes, beach hair and a beautiful, tanned complexion. Do we have to say more? Anyway, watch tanned skin and skilfully disheveled hairan unpainted face just looks wonderful. No matter where you really are, you seem like you've come straight from the beach. Either you really go without make-up or you can help with a natural look with a few simple steps. However, we must never forget one thing: impurities, pores, redness - all of these are normal.
Our tips for the perfect no-make-up look:
If someone still doesn't want to be completely bare of make-up, we recommend mixing a drop of light foundation with a drop of day cream and then working in with a make-up brush or Beauyblender. This gives you a more even, but natural glowy complexion. Then brush the eyebrows into shape, bend the eyelashes up with an eyelash curler and either lightly or not at all. Put on the lip balm and you're done!
