Hot Weather Horror 7: Brassy Highlights

Those gorgeous golden highlights are turning brassy fast.

Prevent It: Highlighted hair that’s naturally medium brown or warm blonde is more likely to go coppery. Prevent brassy hues by covering hair with a hat or using styling aides to block the UV rays that cause that brassy color.

Damage Control: The best bet for resuscitating brassy strands is to head to the salon for a color gloss, which will tone down the copper color and cost less than getting highlights redone.

Hot Weather Horror 6: Razor Rash

You shaved your bikini line, but now you’ve got a nasty razor rash.

Prevent It: Opt for a gel when shaving, and let it sit on skin for a few minutes to soften the hair. Always shave in the direction of hair growth to minimize irritation.

Damage Control: Apply a 1% hydrocortisone cream to the area to reduce the rash. If the skin isn’t broken, conceal redness with a tinted face moisturizer, or opt for a sexy sarong when you’re out of the water.

Hot Weather Horror 5: Frizzy Curls

The humidity has given you a frizzy ‘fro of epic proportions.

Prevent It: The key to avoiding the ‘fro is using a rich leave-in conditioner and keeping hair covered so it won’t expand as it dries.

Damage Control: If the frizz has already hit, wet your hands and run them over the top of hair to re-hydrate, add a wax for control, then twist curls around your fingers to re-form them.

She looks hot as a futuristic superhero, but I personally think Ms. Paradis is better suited to boho-chic labels like Sonia Rykiel or the classic Chanel.

Not familiar with Vanessa Paradis? She’s the French singer/actress/model keeping Johnny Depp’s feet warm at night. The couple have been together for nearly a decade and have two children.

Hot Weather Horror 4: Liquid Lipstick

You open your lipstick and get a melted mess.

Prevent It: If you’re heading to the beach with a cooler for drinks, toss your tube of lipstick in. Or, bring a pot of gloss or a tube with a wand so if it does melt, you can still use it.

Damage Control: If your lip color is just soft, throw it into the fridge or prop it near an air conditioner. If it’s liquid, scoop it into a small plastic pot and you’ve got a new carrier for your favorite color!

Hot Weather Horror 3: Blisters 

Those strappy sandals look hot, but a night out in them has left you limping from blisters.

 Prevent It: An ingenious product called Blister Block by Band-Aid keeps even the cutest shoes from rubbing. Foot powder also works in a pinch.

Damage Control: Sanitize a needle with alcohol and pop the blister to let out the fluid. Don’t peel the skin though; apply an antibiotic like Polysporin and cover with a bandage.

Hot Weather Horror 2: Sun-Damaged Polish

After two days in the sun, you pretty pastel nail polish has turned an ugly yellow.

Prevent It: Light pink and beige hues turn yellowish in the sun, to prevent discoloration use a clear top coat formulated to prevent UV rays from altering the color. Also, rub sunscreen over your nails while at the beach.

Damage Control: For a quick fix, remove the top discolored layer of polish with a fine-grain file, then seal with a top coat.

 Hot Weather Horror 1: Sunglass Tan

You wore sunglasses for protection against the rays and now you’re sporting raccoon eyes.

Prevent It: Slather on the sunscreen! SPF 30 your entire face to reduce the amount of sun you’ll get throughout the day.

Damage Control: Use a foundation that matches your tanned skin, dab under the eyes and blend, blend, blend! Avoid concealer; it won’t blend well enough.
