Look Hot in the Heat

During the dog days of summer, humidity, sweat and a high pollen count can wreak havoc on your beauty routine. Here, HollywoodLife.com Fashion Director Katrina Mitzeliotis shares her best summer beauty tips to stay gorgeous all season long.

Beat Acne

During the summer, sweat and dirt can easily clog up your pores. Using a daily face scrub, like Bior(R) Acne Clearing Scrub, keeps pores clear of debris and prevents breakouts. "I love this gentle micro-scrub because it's formulated with a proprietary Skin Purifying Technology which seeks out dirt and targets it deep in the skin, which helps prevent acne. It also doesn't irritate or dry out your skin," says Katrina. "The key is that it has Superfine Alumina Crystals inspired by pricey professional microdermabrasion treatments. They gently polish the skin and promote healthier, clear skin in as little as 2 days," she adds.

Prevent Frizzy Hair

"Frizz-Ease(R) Hair Serum from John Frieda(R) leaves your strands smooth and sleek. There are four different formula types, which means there's something for everyone," says Katrina. Whether you have color treated hair, a lot of flyaways or are just looking for a little extra strength, these humidity-resistant hair serums are perfect to throw into your beach bag this summer.

Soothe and Hide Allergy Symptoms

Did you know that 40 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies? "There is nothing hot about itchy watery eyes or a red nose!" says Katrina. The problem is finding a tissue that is strong enough to get the job done, but soft enough for sensitive, already irritated skin. "I like Puffs Ultra Soft and Strong tissues because, unlike regular tissues that lay flat, they have air fluff pillows for 40% more cushiony thickness," says Katrina. Genius! Another hot tip: Go for a bold lip color, like orange, pink or red, to distract from allergy symptoms. "Not only is this lip look so on trend, but a pop of color will make you look perfectly polished for a cool summer look."
