Now, that we're at the dead centre of the summer season we're starting to realise just how hot the weather can get. Not only can that be awful for your skin (think tans and pigmentation) but it can also seriously affect your choice of clothes. Who'd want to wear shorts if they knew that they were bound to get awfully tanned in the steaming hot climate? Well, but that still doesn't mean that you should give up on looking your best self during the summer season. All you need are some essentials that will help you stay fresh and you should be good to go. Take a look at what they are:



Sunscreen: No matter how many times we say it, it still won't be enough. You need to wear sunscreen at all times when you're out of the house. During summers try and invest in one that offers maximum protection from the sun's harmful rays. Buy one that contains SPF 15 or above.



Sunglasses: The one thing that will help keep your eyes protected is a pair of sunglasses. Plus they'll also help keep all the dust and pollution away from your eyes. So, invest in a trendy pair of sunnies that you could rock anywhere.



Wet wipes: You're bound to get all sweaty when you travel during the summers so make sure that you keep a packet of wet wipes handy. They'll help you freshen up instantly and will get rid of all the dirt and grime on your skin.



Deodorant: Since you'll get all sweaty, you're bound to start smelling a bit too. Now, that can turn into quite a nuisance not just for you but for others around you too. So, ensure that you keep a good deodorant handy so that you can spritz some on any time you need to.



Dry shampoo: Your hair is bound to get super greasy due to all the sweat that'll accumulate in your scalp when you step out. So, make sure you keep some dry shampoo on you so that whenever you need your hair to look all bouncy and fluffy you can just spray some on your hair and you should be good to go.



Lip balm: You lips also need to stay hydrated through all the heat. Invest in a moisturising lip balm and apply it regularly so that your lips don't get chapped and dry.



Rose water: You could always keep a bottle of rose water handy. It's known for its hydrating, cleansing and moisturising properties. Spritz some on your face and then you'll end up with a glow in no time.



Umbrella: In case you step out without all these essentials (we doubt you will) make sure you carry a pocket umbrella with you to help you stay protected from the sun and the heat.



Water bottle: Stay hydrated ladies! The most important thing for you to do is to keep a water bottle with you at all times. Keep sipping on some water so that your throat doesn't dry out. Staying hydrated will also work wonders for your skin.



Keep these tips in mind and you'll be summer ready in no time!
