Beauty OUTDOORS Summer Glow - Top to Toes
Anoint yourself lightly and completely with dewy lubricants and tanning aids—and bask to your heart's content BY BARBARA ELLIS Beauty Editor YOUR HAIR, skin, and face need extra care now to prevent punishment from sun and water. Here, from top to toes, are a few simple tips for protecting the outdoor girl. Starting from the top: Overdoses of bright sun will deplete natural oils and make the hair streaked, strawlike, and brittle. Protect it with a light, airy kerchief (heavy, tightly tied ones block ventilation), a pretty beach hat, or a good hairdressing or conditioning cream which acts like a moisture screen to help keep the hair from drying. Brush daily and always have brittle ends trimmed before a new permanent. Be sure to rinse hair after swimming to rid it of any residue of chemicals, salt stickiness, or sand. Use the lighter sprays, and even these sparingly. A lanolin-based or other nondrying type will help condition your hair as well as keep it neatly in place during romps on the beach. Always keep tinted hair covered on the beach. The sun can lift color several shades—and please, never swim in a pool without a cap. Pool chemicals can pale tinted hair greenish. Your face, though free from winter's heavy make-up and glowing with the beginnings of a heavenly tan, still needs a lot of looking after. For a bloom, not a burn, don't go into the sun without first applying a sun-tanning preparation. Any of the good oils, solutions, lotions, or creams will do the trick. Their effectiveness in protecting your skin and giving you a pretty tan depends on just how much sun-screening agent they contain, and the amount you apply. For you who love the out-of-doors but can't take sun, there are sun-block preparations which stop all the ultraviolet rays. The eye area, the dryest and most delicate of your whole face, must be protected at all times from bright sun. To avoid squint lines and sun puffing, pick good quality sunglasses with lenses that give ample coverage. You might look into some of the enormous new wraparounds that will protect you, come what may. Also, lubricate your eye area well—and regularly—with a rich eye cream. Another important summer beauty accessory is lip pomade, which should be worn under an ample application of creamy lipstick (or all by itself) while you are sunbathing. Whenever you're out in the sun for more than a few minutes, go over all exposed areas with a good sun-tanning preparation—you need complete and thorough coverage for an even tan. Reapply it every few hours to make up for dissipation by sand and water. Remember that those sensitive and most exposed areas of your body need more frequent application of tanning aids: forehead, tip of nose and shoulders, top of cheekbones, top of feet, and back of neck. Watch out you don't get an overdose of sun when it's at its strongest (between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.); even a big beach hat or umbrella won't protect you from the reflected glare of sun on water—and don't be fooled by a hazy day. The sun can burn through haze. WHEN YOU'VE COME in from a day in the sun, use a body lubricant to further counteract drying effects. Slather it on; it will help, and it'll make you feel good, too. And, to look like an outdoor girl instead of a paleface while you're starting your tan, try one of the tinted sun-tanning aids. Your feet, mostly bare right now, or in the merest suggestion of a sandal, take their greatest punishment in the summer. To counteract dryness and improve your summer foot complexion, lubricate your feet with an application of baby oil or a rich hand or body cream. Massage it deeply into the insteps, soles, heels, even the surface around toenails. Leave it on to work overtime at calluses and "pump bumps." Sun and air and wind and water can do wonders for you—but not without the fragrant, soothing aids that lie, literally, at your fingertips. For a bloom, not a burn—combine full exposure to the delicious dangerous sun with an invisible mask of lubricants.
