20 Tips For Sizzling Summer Hair

The switch from winter through to summer often leaves little time for proper hair care, catch up with our summer guide!
1 Drench your hair - before swimming in the pool or sea to prevent damaging chlorine or salt.


2 Re-apply your hair sunscreen after stepping out of the pool or sea.(Try Schwarzkopf BC sun protection spray £16.99)

3 Take extra care to protect coloured hair. What ever measures you take coloured hair exposed to bright sunlight will lighten; avoid this with a cool summer hat.


4 Bleaching your hair can leave it vulnerable, to breakage and brittle lengths and ends when exposed to excessive sun. Consider waiting till after your holiday.


5 Wear a rich conditioning mask overnight and rinse off in the morning for a great hair boost!(Try Tony Maleedy deep penartrating hair mask £)

6After an après-swim looks? Smooth your hair to one side, and then pull it back to the nape of the neck. Use UV styling product and secure with grips.(Try Charles Worthington Takeaways Suntime £1.65)


7 Don’t brush your hair when wet! Comb it; use a wide toothed comb to prevent breakage.


8 Keep your hair in tip top condition by having it trimmed every six weeks.


9 Boost the shine in your hair by giving it a cold rinse under the shower after washing and conditioning - brrrr!


10 Never vigorously dry your hair using a towel. This action roughens up the cuticle giving hair a dull and tangled appearance once dry.


11 Accessorise - Whether your going to a summer wedding or beach party, try bands, bobbles, clips, combs, slides, tiaras and a whole lot more to make your hair look sassy and sexy in the sun.


12 Curls are going to be huge in the trend style stakes this summer, so dig out your tongs or purchase a new pair of Babyliss tongs at www.ukhairdressers.com for a mere £


13 Tousled waves are huge this summer so leave hair slightly damp after diffusing. This should encourage natural waves.


14 Leave your hair to dry naturally using a leave in conditioner, avoiding excess heat styling will leave your hair all the more moisturized.


15 Apply a volume mousse to wet hair then comb through into a pony tail. Secure with a band, rap hair around the band and tuck in the ends.


16 Rough dry short hair until bone dry, then work a gel wax through the hair to give a funky beach look.(Try Nicky Clarke Hairomatherapy Maxi Wax ultimate gel £4.99)

17 Shine like a star all through summer with a handy glossing spray that fits neatly into your handbag.(Try L’Anza Straitline shine spray available at www.ukhairdressers.com £11.10)

19 Shampoo your hair thoroughly after swimming to avoid leaving chlorine on it.

10 Tips For Beautiful Skin In The Summer

Summer requires a special skin care regimen and extra protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Follow these 10 steps to beautiful, healthy, moisturized summer skin.

When you're in the midst of battling parched winter skin, it's easy to forget that summer presents its own skin challenges. Summer offers a reprieve from forced dry heat and lack of indoor humidity, but skin faces a different challenge during the summer. Exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun can wreck life-threatening havoc in addition to causing skin to age prematurely.

Spring offers the very best environment for skin. Its moderate temperature range and the high humidity from April showers can lull you into complacent neglect toward skin care. Spring's optimal conditions provide your skin with a welcome rest between struggling to retain moisture during the arid winter months and the assault of the summer sun. When the temperature heats up and you start spending more time outdoors, it's time to rev up your skin care regimen again.

As the dog days of summer approach, the key to beauty from the inside out is to lighten up. As your mood lightens from extended daylight hours, it's time to lighten up on work, clothing, food and beverage, and lotions and potions. Follow our tips below, and pay special attention to the sun prevention tips and tricks.

1. Beauty begins on the inside. During the summer months, trade your heavy stews and soups for lighter fare, including grilled fish and fruit salads. Retire the hot chocolate in favor of iced green tea, and say goodbye to the hot spiced rum for a few months, replacing it with a cool, refreshing wine spritzer or frozen fruit daiquiri.

2. Summer signals the beginning of increased activity, which causes you to lose moisture through perspiration. Drink water before you feel thirsty. Once you feel thirst, you're already slightly dehydrated. Carry water with you everywhere, to eliminate the possibility of drinking tap water.

3. Chlorine doesn't play nice with skin, hair and nails; it leaves them dry, brittle and flakey. It adds an additional load to your body""another chemical for your body to assimilate and eliminate. Wash off chlorine as soon as you step out of the pool or hot tub. Add a water filter to your shower to trap chlorine and other chemicals. You'll notice a difference in your skin within a few days.

4. Apply creams and lotions with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Lightweight summer clothes don't completely block the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. In fact, lightweight clothing offers very little SPF""usually around 8. When you spend concentrated time in the sun, apply a water-resistant or waterproof sun block, and use a sun block with zinc on your face. Reapply often. Even with sun block, you'll get some color in the summer. Until you do, fake it with one of the many self-tanning lotions on the market. Whatever you do, don't attempt to get a suntan the old-fashioned way. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your hair from the sun and to provide additional protection to your face.

5. If you work in the garden, apply protection against insects, and reapply as necessary. Not only will you avoid unsightly bite marks and annoying itching, but you might also avoid debilitating disease. Don't take unnecessary chances. If the thought of applying DEET to your body makes you shudder, apply one of the natural insect repellants containing citronella and other natural essential oils. When you get bitten, avoid the urge to scratch. Scratching only intensifies the itching sensation, and it can lead to infection and scarring.

6. Grow an aloe plant. They're impossible to kill, even if you have a brown thumb. Having immediate access to an Aloe plant is like having a drugstore in your backyard. Break off a leaf and apply the gel on the inside to provide instant relief from sunburn, insect bites, burns from outdoor grilling, and minor skin irritations. Keep another plant in the kitchen for burns. Nothing works as quickly as Aloe to stop the pain.

7. Lighten up on your facial moisturizing routine. Instead of dry flakes, your skin faces eruptions from clogged pores during the summer. Clean your face meticulously, several times each day if necessary. Switch to a lighter moisturizer with fewer emollients. Consider a tinted moisturizer to eliminate the extra layer of make-up foundation. If you have good skin, show it off during the summer instead of hiding it under layers of concealer, foundation and powder. Allow your natural radiant skin to shine through without obstruction.

8. Hands and feet require special care in the summer. Keep nails short to enjoy summer sports activities. You don't want to interrupt a set of tennis to repair a broken nail. You may get calluses from gardening and racquet sports. Exfoliate hands and feet regularly, and don't lighten up on rich, emollient hand and foot creams, because parts of the hands and feet contain no oil glands. If you visit the beach, take a long walk on the beach. No manmade treatment equals the exfoliation power of feet pounding against sand. Walk long enough, and your feet will sport a baby soft finish.

9. With your legs exposed during the summer, you may tire of daily shaving. Consider one of the sugar-based wax formulations. It may take several applications to master the technique, but after a few false starts, the efforts are worth the learning curve. The advertisements will entice you with a month or more of hair-free soft, baby skin. If you get two weeks of silky smooth skin, consider yourself lucky. Follow-up each waxing session with a moisturizer containing aloe to avoid skin bumps.

10. If your winter lip balm didn't contain sun protection, make sure that your summer lip balm does. Chapped lips are annoying, but sunburned lips are painful! Reapply often, particularly when you're on the water in an open boat or riding in a convertible. Wind is just as damaging as sun, and the two together ensure a bad burn for unprotected skin.

7 Skin Care Tips for Glowing Skin in Summer

Summer is about baring skin and showing off the beautiful (fake) summer tan you have. But in order to look good baring that skin, you need to take some time to ready your skin and reverse the signs of neglect you showed your skin during fall, winter and spring.

Knock of each step on my skin care tips for glowing skin and you'll be ready to pull out your favorite summer dress in no time flat.

1. Exfoliate Your Body

It's so very important to exfoliate your skin. Your body sheds skin cells at an amazing rate every minute of every day. If you don't get rid of them, they'll just sitting on your skin making you look dull and dry. No matter how much lotion you use, you're never going to have glowing skin if you don't exfoliate. Grab a body scrub and hit the shower. Gently rub your exfoliator in circular movements on your entire body from the shoulders down (you'll want a facial exfoliator for your face and neck) and rinse clean. Continue to do this 2-3 times a week for year-round beautiful skin.

Product Pick: Aquolina Pink Sugar Body Scrub (buy direct) is a fun summer scrub with hints of raspberry, orange and lily of the valley.

2. Shave the Right Way

I won't ask for a show of hands; you know who you are. In the winter, what is the point of keeping your legs religiously shaved daily when you know your legs will never see the light of day? Those lazy days of winter are over. Find a good razor that won't cause razor burn. I'm a fan of Gilette's Mach 3. (compare prices) When picking out a shaving cream, don't choose the $1.00 men's cream; a shaving lotion is much better for your skin as it will hydrate and help ward off nicks and cuts. In a pinch? Use your conditioner for a moisturizing shaving cream.

3. Hydrate your Body with a Summer-Scented Lotion

Find a summery lotion that you won't forget to put on. It's time to pack away your thick winter body butters for more light summery lotions. You don't have time to wait for your lotion to sink in, so look for something light fast absorbing. Gels and Purees are perfect fast absorbers. I personally love to break out the coconut or mango scented lotion for summer. Nothing spells summer more than a light refreshing fruity lotion. Make sure you apply right after you dry off from your shower. You need to seal in the moisture your body just soaked in.

Product Pick: Pacifica: Bali Lime Papaya Body Lotion is a sweet scented lotion perfect for summer. (buy direct)

4. Get a Safe Summer Glow

You have so many choices when it comes to adding a little summer tint to your skin, and the tanning bed shouldn't be one of them. Using a sunless tanner will give your skin a beautiful start to summer. Even if you're not a fan of sunless tanners all over your body, you can happily use them on your face. If you alternate your facial moisturizer with one that builds a bit of color, you'll have a healthy glow that will make it look as though you just spent the weekend on the beach. Most facial tanners build color gradually, by alternating with your regular moisturizer, you'll never get too dark.

5. Don't Forget your Feet

Winter boots have long since been packed away; it's sandal season ladies. Either go and get a pedicure (try a beauty school if cost is a factor), or give yourself an at-home pedicure. You scrub off the dead dry skin to reveal your sandal ready feet. Nothing is worse than seeing dull dry feet inside cute sandals. It doesn't have to be a big ordeal. Keep a foot scrub and file in your shower and scrub your feet a few times a week. You'll notice a big difference in the softness of your feet.

Product Pick - Bliss: Foot Patrol uses salicylic acid to exfoliate, which will leave your skin super smooth. (buy direct)

6. Find a New Bold Summer Polish

Buy a bold new polish for your toes. Toe nails can be painted a much bolder color than you would usually put on your fingernails. Pick out something that screams summer. Polish tends to stay on your toes much longer than your hands because you don't abuse your toe nails like you do your finger nails. Apply a clear base coat, two applications of color and a clear top coat to protect. Go barefoot or put on your flip-flops for at least a couple hours to make sure your polish won't dent.

Product Pick - Nars: Orgasm is a great color to go with bronze, summer skin. (compare prices)

7. Out With the Old - Buy a New Sunscreen

Throw away last year's unused sunscreen for a new bottle. Sunscreens aren't meant to last forever, and seeing most people don't use as much as they should, I bet you have a bottle or two stored away. Be safe and pick up a new one. And don't forget the most important sunscreen advice: USE IT. You should be using a shot glass full for your body, and a full teaspoon just on your face. Reapply every 1-2 hours that you are in the sun to ensure a summer full of safe sun fun.

Product Pick - Coppertone: Nutra Shield Sunscreen Lotion(compare prices) is a great drugstore sunscreen that has UVA and UVB products. It comes in SPF 30 and SPF 70.

AJ Perez Died in a Highway Accident

AJ Perez was pronounced dead at exactly 12:20 a.m. today due to a vehicular accident.



According to reports from various celebrities on Twitter, AJ Perez died due to multiple head injuries caused by the highway accident. AJ, his dad Gerardo Perez, driver Christopher Bautista and 3 other companions namely Christina Ferrer, Edwin Patelos and Danny Linunga were on their way back to Manila from Dagupan City’s Bangus Festival event when their van collided with a Partas bus along McArthur Highway in Barangay San Julian, Tarlac.
The 18 year-old Kapamilya actor was declared dead on arrival at Paniqui Tarlac hospital.
Luckily, AJ’s 5 other companions were all alive and were taken to the hospital for treatment.
AJ was part of the Kapamilya Karavan at the Bangus Festival which was held yesterday, April 16, at the Dagupan City Plaza.
Showbiz reporter and talk show host Ogie Diaz posted the following on Twitter: “Galing ng Dagupan, pauwi na. Tulog lahat sa van. Sa Tarlac, biglang bumangga sa trak. Bago pa nadala si AJ Perez sa ospital, wala nang buhay.”
Diaz added that the truck hit the side of the van where the actor was resting.
Here is AJ’s last tweet which he posted around 11:00 p.m. Saturday night right after the show:







The 18 year-old Kapamilya actor was declared dead on arrival at Paniqui Tarlac hospital.

Columnist-host Ogie Diaz was able to talk with AJ's dad after the accident. On his Twitter, Ogie wrote Mr. Gerardo's reaction : "Sana, panaginip lang to, Ogie. Si Aj ang buhay namin ng mami nya, bakit sya pa? Sana, ako na lang."

AJ's mom was also in shock when Ogie spoke to her. She supposedly told the talent manager, "Tinanong ko si dadi, bat ang tagal nilang umuwi? Pauwi na raw sila from Dagupan, pero nag-aalala pa rn ako, d ko alam kumbakit balisa ako."

AJ's remains will lie in state at La Salle Greenhills starting this afternoon until Tuesday lunchtime.
