Hot enough for you?
Just months ago, we were cooped up at home in sweats and dreaming of a sunny season outdoors.
Well, be careful what you wish for.
Here are 10 ways to feel fresher when the temperature soars.
Wear white, black or prints to hide sweat stains
Glaring sweat marks are every woman’s heat-wave nightmare.
Unfortunately, they’re more obvious on solid brights and pastels.
Wear black, white or prints on extra steamy days.
While you may feel clammy, no one will see discolorations thanks to this optical illusion.
The airy fit helps air flow around the armpit to minimize staining and keep you comfy.
Odor is the really big deal, since smells (good and bad) get amplified by heat.
Stick to two-step skin care
During the summer, minimize face products.
Scorching days are no time for piling on extra serums and treatments.
However, our mature skin even on the steamiest days still needs hydration and a dailysunscreen.
Keep it in the fridge.

Be sure to remove any tags or labels that can rub or irritate your skin.
Work with humidity hair don’t fight it
You really can’t win.
Your scalp feels wet.
There are three good options.
This means skipping tailored dresses like sheaths and fit-and-flare styles for now.
And being able to skipshape wearis a bonus!
Wear a sweat-wicking T-shirt as a liner
It’s blazing hot and you’ve got to wear a blazer?
Maybe this is the week you’re going back to work or have a serious job interview.
Choose wide-leg pants
Give yourjeansa break.
Relaxed, looser-leg pants (especially cropped styles) max out airflow.
Deodorize your shoes
We sweat from head to toe.
Leave these in shoes during closet breaks.
