A general tip is to fill a water bottle half way and freeze it, then fill it all the way with water and bring it when you go outside. It stays cold a lot longer than plain cold water, and you dont get little ice cubes to choke on. Also dont forget a big hat to protect your head from sun, i burned my scalp where the hair is parted recently :(

[@gelseminun]

tinythingy4 OMG! Same thing happened to me last mont! I burned my scalp really bad, didn't think it was possible, felt so weird! Very painfull everytime I brushed my hair 😥, it lasted a couple of weeks, learned my lesson 👌

[@GrumpetteJV]

drinking cold water is going to cause your body to warm you up. so is eating icecream. It's better to stay hydrated drinking lukewarm water/tea for example.

[@leesbegley6231]

Great tip, from South Florida here!

[@heatherframpton9693]

Great idea...currently drinking herbal sun tea. 😊

[@arii414]

I do that and position the water bottle at the bottom of my bag so it's close to my back. That way I don't have a sweat stain on my back.

[@ryokagirl9424]

Tip 7: Lay on your bed and wait for September 😂😂😂 Jokes aside, I follow all these tips except for the light colors because I don't look good in them... I still suffer because I can't stand hot weather........ Kisses from Italy 👋🏻👋🏻

[@ryokagirl9424]

Elisa Castro Honestly, same here, but at least in Septemer it starts to get a lil better with more rainy days

[@bethparker1500]

Lol

[@katherinemorelle7115]

I’ve found there’s nothing worse than laying on my bed on hot days- it’s like my mattress soaks up all of my heat and reflects it back at me times 5! And because of my disability, I have to spend a lot of time lying in bed. Which is why I find aircon such a necessity! It’s April right now, and I’m currently waiting for autumn to finally kick in here in Queensland, Australia. Even though it’s mid-late April, the days are still over 30C, and I cannot wait for it to finally cool down! It’s unfortunate that winter is my favourite season, given that I live in a place that barely even has a winter.

[@cecilelebleu5984]

I'm from Costa Rica. Right now I'm living in one of the hottest places of Costa Rica. Just let that sink in :) I can't even step outside between 10am and 3pm on a sunny day. It's crazy. And it's not just 3 months. During half of the year, it just rains a little more in the afternoons... But it's always hotter than it should be possible. My favorite food tips are: Drink as much as you can, bonus points if it's fresh coconut water, eat all the fruits, get minerals (vegetables are the best). If you don't get enough vitamins and minerals, you will not absorb water, no matter how much you drink. Eat less fatty foods and more fiber as well. About clothes, well, skirts. Come on. Nothing breathes as well as a skirt :) And if you are going outside, consider wearing white long sleeve shirts. Those are my favorite type of garment because they cover you from the sun, and if it's the right fabric, it's going to be as fresh as carrying a sunshade around. Long sleeve bright shirts also look great with skirts, you can mix and match forever! Less makeup is always better. Lip balm to avoid chapped lips, with a slight hint of a fruit or flower. However, if your lips are breaking, you need to hydrate. Eating an orange would probably beat the lip balm.

[@sueharrison6718]

I would add don't wear padded bras. Some of us still need a bra in the summer. Go for unpadded as the foam soaks up the sweat. I have lace which helps skin breath. Sports bras come in cotton and withstand a daily wash.

[@vivalachoba]

I have no boobs, I have to wear a padded bra lol

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

I’m one of those weirdly petite with a ridiculously large chest people, and of course I don’t need traditional padding, but, I can’t wear an unlined bra like a lace one because, well, when I do occasionally get a chill, umm. Everything is in proportion for huge boobs, so your nipples are much more apparent when you get cold. I’m self-conscious as it is and used to always wear black to make things less apparent (school was... difficult with my peers). But I have an underboob thing that has a fastener like a normal bra that goes under the breasts to help absorb sweat so you don’t get too hot and humid in there. I’ve had legit heat rash between and beneath my boobs before, and it was horrific. There’s not really any *good* solution, but the sweat absorbed helps some. One of these days, I’m getting a reduction, and I’ll delight at my ability to wear unlined bras and not have a ton of back pain and actually get cute bras that aren’t like plain black or tan. A girl can dream. 😅

[@buzzi2k]

@@SunflowerSpotlight I don't have your body type, but would it work for you to wear adhesive nippies and then a lightweight bra? Go for a good quality nippie brand though, they're not all equal!

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Amara Jordan and if you do happen to have forgotten your bra sweat soaker, a tip I’ve learned over the years is to stick pads to the bottom of my bras. Over and around where the underwire is. Works a treat! In fact, that’s what I do in summer here (Queensland Australia), because I don’t have a proper one. I also keep the pads handy for if an underwire breaks or breaks out- just cover it up with a section of a pad until I can get home and darn it (if it’s just broken out) or pull out the underwires entirely to wear as a home bra (if the underwire itself has snapped).

[@sarahhavillamelooliveira5825]

Hi Justine! Your videos completely changed the way I dress and "see" clothes.

[@kerriewilliams8321]

And sunscreen people, don’t go out without it! 🌞

[@bugsandbrushes]

Yes! Also, apply a lot, more than you think you need an reapply regularly.

[@maderaverdes]

Yes! And at least 30 SPF, but ideally 50 SPF! Don't forget that UVB rays are the ones that burn you and UVA rays are the ones that age your skin the most! So, even if you're not getting a burn and think you're okay, if you're in the sun you're still getting exposed to UVA rays! Reapply at least three times a day and more often if you're swimming or sweating!

[@heatherframpton9693]

Yes! 30 to 50 SPF, folks! 😊🌞❤

[@winddragonlundholm1792]

I used to think that if I have sunscreen on I will not get a tan and I get teased alot because I'm pale so I would not have on sunscreen, I'm right now right?

[@heatherframpton9693]

Use a bronzer or sunless tan if you want more color...safely! Dr. Dray, please correct me if I'm wrong here: I had read years ago tanning is actually damaged skin! Not worth it...

[@Dr.JudeAEMasonMD]

I discovered linen clothes for myself only in May, when making clothes for my own atelier. First we made some linen skirts for ourselves and after a short period of wearing it I realized I am no longer able to put anything made from artificial materials on myself. I literally feel very uncomfortable. Trough my mom and grandma always where in linen clothes in summer, I realized the benefits only in 31 years old. And now in summer we are making linen clothes for others, so people knew heat can be handled if you have proper clothes!

[@judithl.1349]

You are so right regarding avoiding the sun. I was on vacation in Nantucket with one of my friends (who's French) and she insisted on going to the beach. Once we were there, I nagged her to leave telling her over and over again laying on the beach was not good for the skin. What I didn't tell her is that her skin looked 10 years older than her age. Long story short, she emailed me months latter after she had returned to France to tell me she had skin cancer!

[@milenakury1031]

As a brazilian, I agree with everything in this video. Regarding makeup, I usually use a light powder just to keep the shine away from my face and always one that has sun protection. As I worked in a lab, I HAD to use jeans (or any thick trousers) to protect my legs, so It was a torture and I sweated a lot! But I still prefer hot than very cold weather :)

[@nathangold5759]

LOL why u prefer hot over cold weather ?

[@SpecJack15]

Maybe you can try chinos or work pants which are lighter and smarter than jeans that are rugged and heavy? I think those pants offer the protection you need while still being breathable for your skin. Denim fabric is not very breathable or quick to dry in the first place, hence I wouldn't wear it in hot and humid climates.

[@krnvvv]

@@SpecJack15 as another fellow brazilian who works at a lab, it's harder to find those here, specially women's. if they're what I'm thinking, we call that fabric "sarja" and they're lighter than khakis but not as thin as dress pants. I have one and they're a lot more expensive than my jeans so I use them to work instead :/ atm I'm looking at those quick to dry pants from Nike or Adidas so I can work during the summer

[@Growstuff70]

My summer favorite is a loose, thin, sleeveless cotton dress and sandals. Very easy!

[@katg9507]

klf quick and easy tip!

[@estefaniamonastero625]

Justine you are so sweet..but I just hate the summer season. I am crossing out the days in the calendar until dear darling Autumn arrives. Thank you for the tips, but my tip is if there are more people like me...to go summernate..is that a word ? As opposed to ibernate. Stay in, lower your shades, stay cool and let it all pass till the temperature starts to go down.;)

[@pachamama8586]

Estefania Monastero Hahaha, love that new word "summernate"!! When I was typing I got "summer hate" as a suggestion, seems to fit, too.... I love hot and sunny summers and therefore I'd rather hibernate but I sincerely feel for you as I can relate to not feeling comfortable with a season! Stay cool, Estefania, and all the best to you!!

[@mathildal3291]

Hi Estefania, "summernate"! What a great term! :-) I too hate the summer season. I get migraines a lot more often in summertime, I sweat like crazy, can't sleep and just overall feel very uncomfortable. So summernate it is! I go grocery shopping as soon as the first store opens and the rest of the day I live in my apartment. Thankfully I can work partly from home, but not every day. We have a heatwave right now and for the past 6-8 weeks and everything is so hot. Even my toothpaste is hot. :-( Do you have AC? It's not very commen in my area but a couple of years ago we got it and it is a lifesaver. Sleeping is so much easier. Not good, but better. Wishing you an early autumn!

[@claireesummers5802]

I'm a woman 'of a certain age' so the tip about wearing prints is very welcome. Thank you

[@GoricaNikolin]

Oh, talk about the heat. I work in an office, I'm a journalist and I always have to be ready for meetings, press conferences and other occasions. It can be very hard on me, as I'm not someone who handles heat very well. In summer the temperatures here where I live (Serbia, Europe) can reach up to 34-37°C and that's basically death for me. :D Always carry around water and drink it often, avoid exposure to sun, eat regularly (don't skip meals!), wear sunscreen and a good deodorant.

[@woollyfingers]

I now live in England, but even in the north we are getting hot summers nowadays. However, I used to live in Japan, very hot and humid, and have spent many hot summers in the south of France. Beautiful weather, but I do wilt easily. Lots of great, sensible tips from you, as ever. I would add: always have a sunhat, and/or a light scarf to cover head/arms/back of neck when you can’t stay in the shade. I used to treat myself to an inexpensive straw bag for the summer, doesn’t last long of course, but more comfortable to carry in hot weather than leather. Keep a real handkerchief in your bag, and you can dampen it (or your scarf, or a cloth sunhat) with water when it’s unbearably hot.

[@cherkkiable]

awesome tips! As central european living in Italy, always found it difficult to "keep my cool" during summer... good advice

[@evabeck3348]

Oh if only it would be 30 degrees Celsius(C)/86 degrees Fahrenheit (F)where I live. I’m Southern California and in the area where I’m at, it has been over 105 F degrees and above for over 4 weeks and the forecast for this upcoming week that it is to be HOTTER with continued humidity and I do not live in the desert. It has been the HOTTEST summer ever. I’ve lived in this part of California since my family moved here approximately 40 years ago. Before anybody gives a kind suggestion to move, at this time in my life I do not want to as I really love and enjoy being here with and for my Wonderful & Loving DAD!!!! In years past there used to be break from above 100F for a few days and the weather would spike up again, but not this Summer. I hope everybody stays safe from the heat wherever you are living or visiting.

[@virginiamarian6740]

walking under the shade...its true! I live in Madrid (now rising to 40ºC) and you can see tourists walking under the sun...so bad and dangerous. I wear a hat for the moments that i cant avoid the sun but always look for a shade A.S.A.P. hahaha

[@sharischmidt4712]

Enjoyed 😊 I live in Ontario Canada and we're having a very hot, humid and sunny summer and all you're tips are very true 😊 The only thing that I would add is applying sunscreen to yourself several times a day,if you are in the sun. Skin cancer is on the rise around the world and in Canada, we're in the top five countries affected.

[@WickedNPC]

If you are worried about skin cancer it's much better to cover yourself with clothes.

[@cindymantovani763]

And what about the face? Sorry but dermathologists always say to apply sunscreen

[@sharischmidt4712]

So so true about sunscreen on your face, let's face it , you don't want to cover up entirely in the summer, it's the summer!! we want to wear shorts , tank tops bathing suits etc. I think covering up is a good idea especially sunglasses hats and sunscreen, it's just sensible.

[@WickedNPC]

Sunscreen is good, as an addition to other types of sun protection, but not instead of it. Sun screen offers a false sense of security and is not as effective as people think. It also costs a fortune.

[@jgalena7689]

Avoid any skin or lip product whose label includes retinyl palmitate, retinol or vitamin A. Avoid oxybenzone, a synthetic estrogen that penetrates the skin and can disrupt the hormone system. Look for products with zinc oxide, 3 percent avobenzone or Mexoryl SX. They protect skin from harmful UVA radiation.

Thank you for this very useful video! I'm from Sweden, and for us, normal summer weather is 20-25 degrees and goes from the beginning of June to end of August. If we're lucky. Now we've had 25-35 degrees since early May, and no rain! Hello global warming... So the whole population is in chock, both over all the forest fires and in literal, physical heat shock. I don't understand how you from warmer countries stand it! My salvation this period has been to get a colourful, foldable mini umbrella to use as a parasol. I always have it in my bag, and it's fantastic! So much better than a hat. It keeps more of me in the shade than a hat, I don't get a warm, sweaty head, I can wear my hair however I like, and I don't have the problem of where to put the hat when I'm in a café/restaurant or when it gets dark. I really recommend it! Another tip I have is about wearing skirts/dresses when you have thighs that rub together, and it's too warm for leggings. Because the pain that can cause is unbelievable. So put a lot of talc on the insides of your thighs, and bring a small jar of it so you can apply more during the day. I actually always put some talc in my armpits after my deodorant has dried, it makes me feel a lot less sweaty. Old-school, but effective. :)

[@kimjunjae]

You guys are sooo lucky, above 25°C is hell ...

[@JennRobinEvans]

I live in a place that we are going as hot as 43 degrees, and let me tell you that your tips work!

Please don't use talc, it causes ovarian cancer. Stay safe everyone

Instead of talcum, use dried clay.

I appreciate that you're giving so much good info and many recommendations, practical, worthwhile and sensible. You deserve credit for caring about others. How your comment sounds about the person falling in front of you lacks compassion. To get scared is natural. To say, please don't pass out because it scares me really sounds self centered. I think you did not intend to say it that way. I've been over heated and I had no warning. It hits people by surprise. You will recover from the shock, glad

[@mirabellegoldapfel6256]

Most stylish accessories in the heat: A pretty parasol or a simple umbrella and a hand fan. A parasol does not mess up your hair like a hat. You are prettier with dry hair and if you sweat and smell less. I also like to wear long linen pants and blouses with half long or long sleeves, because most sun creams develop heat to work (except for the ones that paint you white), and you can use less this way. Also, wet a thin cotton scarf thoroughly and wear it around the neck, wrists, head. Replace the sweat before it even comes with water by wetting your shirt completely, heavily patterend shirts hide the dark water shades nicely. Carry around an "ice baby", a frozen thermal pack wrapped in a towel or fabric bag it also works as a reverse hot water bottle at night in bed. Use physics and let the drying clothes cool you down with the magic of evaporation chill. I ran around in full textile armour last week, completely wetted inside and was pretty fine show fighting.

[@gorejs8396]

Merci, Justine! We share your love of summer in Los Angeles, & because it's hot for so much of the year, we need lots of hot-weather clothing options. As you recommend, things that wash easily & dry quickly are key, & flowy cuts work best. My favorite fabric for hot weather is linen, which is incredibly versatile & always looks good. I actually love the way wrinkles in linen look, & don't even iron most of my linen clothes after I wash them. The key with linen is, again as you suggest, to avoid anything fitted, opting instead for looser styles that let air circulate between the garment & your skin. Skirts are way cooler than pants because of that air circulation. And I always carry a handkerchief (usually linen) so that I can blot my face & neck throughout the day.

I absolutely love the tips, Justine! Even though I come from Brazil, I was not really aware of most of the aspects you mentioned in this video until I moved to Europe. Although I remember trying to find more clothes made of cotton and viscose fabrics back home but almost 95% of all ready to wear was made of polyester or a blend of it with cotton (still polyester was about 96% of the compositions). Worst part of it was: those were not cheap clothes! It's been a bit easier to stay away from those now that I live in Dublin. The other day I found a gorge salmon pinkish linen top still with the shop tags at a 2nd hand shop for only 4€! Such a difference as linen is quite expensive back home! Anyways, great content and tips - as always! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Justine! 😘

[@ShivangiPrasad]

Great practical tips Justine! Being from India, I can totally attest to these😁 But I feel, people who are concerned for sunburn, can wear super-light and flowy clothes that cover your body- it protects your skin from harmful uv rays as well

Happy Sunday Justine and thanks again for the smiles and good advice. And I for one don’t mind a little mothering now and then😊

[@judico5525]

Thanks Justine for sharing your tips and kind spirit with us 😘

[@BebelovesMacika]

My summer must have is a large, thin cotton scarf. I can cover myself from the burning sun and keeps me warm in freezing air conditioned places.

[@ieugeniya]

Thank you soo much Justine! 😘❤️ Great tips! 🙏🏻💐

[@heatherwhittaker6169]

Great video. Very helpful as always.Thank you justine.

[@tinadarlene4623]

Thank you for all the great advice!!! I live in Florida and it’s hot for many months. It starts in May and ends I want to say in late August. But it can be warm all the way to December. We get intense heat. You have to have A/C in your home and in your car. All you want to do is stay in the water if your outside.

J’ai découvert ta chaine il y a quelques semaine et je l’adore ! Tes conseils sont judicieux et tu as le don de bien vulgariser la mode, la rendant ainsi beaucoup plus accessible. Merci 💜

[@ruthsdyspraxiacontent4018]

Absolutely brilliant video! I get heat rash in summer and nearly every point was new! Great to look at why I might get that from sweat/overheating on chest and back and how to prevent it

[@kyrieteleison3009]

I can’t stop watching your videos! These are sooooo helpful! Please keep putting out more as I can’t get enough!

[@tselampe]

Wow, you reminded me of so much possible positivity and enjoying life, just perfect for my weird and gloomy mood right now!

[@bettinaschmid1158]

Beautifully done, thank you Justine!

[@patroberts185]

Great information Justine !!! You covered fabrics, styles, and colors as well as practical tips. I loved it (even if I prefer A/C). 💝💐😎🙏👍🙋🏻

[@isabelab6851]

Just found this video...I live in SWFL and it is still warm subtropical at this time of the year and the sun is hot. Great advice

[@TheJENNIFEVER]

Hi Justine! great to hear from you - I live in Australia and generally am in dry or humid heat for 4-5 months per year - I also perform jazz under lights (also very hot!) so I have have had many occasions to wear the most practical and good looking fabrics in the heat. The one go-to fabric I always try to find is Silk double georgette in a print. I have had a couple of great loose (slightly Kaftan style) dresses in this fabric and it has been hands down the best, lightest fabric in the heat. Also I wear silk underwear under these style dresses - it literally feels like you are wearing as little as possible. Lastly a very light loose silk nightie is brilliant for sleeping in the heat - you literally 'slip around' on the sheets and trying to sleep in heat ( turning) can be a problem when cotton fabrics are catching on cotton sheets and you wake up! - anyway I though I would share these few bits if that's ok. kindest regards a please keep up your vlogs I love them! x Jenn

[@anmahek]

I loved loved this video. I live in a cold/mild weather city, and I got a job once by the sea. I was ecstatic, but I also wasn't sure what to wear. These are great tips to wear in hot climates and still look formal. love them.

[@heatherframpton9693]

Perfect timing for your video, Justine, as it's very humid here in NE Ohio! Thank you! Have a wonderful Summer 2019! 😊🌞❤

[@royalnavarre1673]

Great advice! Thank you!

[@Emmuzka]

Justine: Choose clothes that don't have fabric between legs or under armpits. All women without a serious thigh gap: * decidedly choose always fabric between legs and under arm to avoid skin rubbing together. *

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Or, you can use deodorant or similar to prevent chub rub- that’s what I used to do. Or, there are little fabric tubes that just go on the upper thighs that work well too. Now I don’t walk at all, so I don’t have to worry about it. The trade off is that suiting in a wheelchair means no breeze around you, it’s just awful!

[@katrinepetersen2566]

Yes! I need This. I hate summer. And This year we’ve had 25-30 degrees most of the time. And I work in a busy workplace in a uniform, That’s NOT made for a heat wave.

[@justineleconte]

Hmmm... formal dress codes are really not nice, when it's hot...

[@JCstrikesagain]

I understand that feeling. I can't wait for this summer to end.

[@katka7634]

Try 35+ degrees, you would be thankful fór 25-30 ;)

[@AM-fh7ek]

Kate Lin right!! 😅

[@Call-me-Al]

Kate Lin I feel like I am dying and it is "only" 32+ degrees. 0-20 is so far more bearable, and 20 is ideal. D: This video is a life saver.

[@angelapatterson3406]

Just love your tips! Thank you!

[@mudbeauty2004]

Very helpful info, Justine! Thank you! x

[@AkihitoMr]

I live in Thailand, so this help me a lot! Thank you Justine!!

[@donnav6219]

Excellent video. I find that instead of a heavy moisturizer in the summer I switch to a moisturizing facial cleanser and rosewater facial mist with added glycerin. It is the perfect amount of moisture. Then blush, translucent powder, lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. Done and out the door.

[@lulu_g8445]

Thank you for being a sunny spot in my day! 😎🙏🏼💖💖💖

[@williamkazak]

I am glad you mentioned silk. In my experience silk does not breathe as I had been led to believe and I quit buying silk shirts years ago. I prefer linen shirts in summer for many years. My body seems to run hot and in summer linen works for me although it can wrinkle just by looking at it someone once said. I have some linen pants that I wear in summer also. Love you and your videos. All the best to you. Cannot beat a white linen shirt! So very classic.

[@holisticmaya]

Il fait 41 degrés celsius aujourd'hui au Québec et ta vidéo n'aurait pas pu arriver à un meilleur moment!! Merci Justine :)

[@ohhghost]

So helpful! I have moved from Montana (where there is snow 6+ months of the year) to Texas, where it has been basically above 40C since May, and I have been slowly building a new wardrobe since the move. It's been sad because I miss the cold, but I am armed with some knowledge now :)

[@ap0calypse5]

I recently bought some "bamboo" fabric items and they are so wonderful in hot weather!

[@danielledarlene2501]

Love the information you share! Here in south Texas, it is very hot for 5 or 6 months. My husband is a coach and they are into performance wear which is polyester. I can't stand it...it's not breathable and it smells horrible when he gets home.. like burnt sweat...so gross. I always buy him cotton polo shirts and cotton button downs to keep cool.

[@katherinekoerner2262]

I just discovered your videos yesterday and already have watched six or seven of them. They are great! They are quite informative and create great awareness, not only about personal fashion and quality but also about larger, more-profound and ethical topics, such as fast fashion. Even though I am in my sixty's, I care about fashion and quality, and though I'm older, I am learning many useful things from your videos. You also have a great style of delivery in your videos -- you connect to the viewer and in a natural, honest manner. J'apprécie beaucoup vos vidéos et je les regarderai souvent. J'espère que vous continuez à produire ces vidéos; elles sont informatives, intéressantes, et divertissantes. Merci beaucoup!

[@sparkleafter50]

Love the advice for jewelry and accessories

[@ellieroberts3291]

Just longing for some warm sunshine so that I can use these tips - last week in the UK it was cold and rather wet, and I was wearing cashmere jumpers!

[@Piddeaux]

I have a couple of silk/linen blends [expensive, ick] but great for summer.

[@dotty555]

Omg thankyou for linking clothes from Amazon so ita accessible to a lot of people, thankyou for this video it was extremely helpful!!!❤

[@marielucchetta]

I learnt a new thing: Palazzo. Brilliant, I'll look into this! Thanks Justine! :)

[@jant4741]

My linen pants, I iron straight out of the washer, then hang to dry over night, then lightly press the next day. They are high waisted and not tight. This wet press method really sets the flax fiber smooth, preventing wrinkling.

[@jacqueline8559]

Thanks, I'm going to try that, lots of linen pants but hate wrinkles.

[@silviakhanmohamed181]

You look pretty with your hair up. So fresh and clean for Summer.

[@jannygallegos714]

Loved this!!! Always excellent content 💕

[@quixotic7460]

I live in a place with hot summers and can confirm :) I just wear linen and cotton in the summer almost exclusively, and all in light colors and boxy/flowy fits

[@shirleygibbs7440]

Hi, Justine. 103°F- 105°F 😕 in Northeast Texas the past few weeks❣ Mostly 75°F to 80°F+ to 90°+F most of year, except about 2-3 weeks in winter. Great tips on best fabrics for hot hot hot weather ❣ I love tencel. It looks good almost all the time. Travels great! Thanks❣ 💝💕💞💝

[@lizamonges1]

Thanks Justine, really helpful!

[@enchantrezz642]

Hello Justine! Great video. Could you please post an updated summer skincare routine? The seasons have changed and your skincare must have too! You skin always looks fantastic so I would love to know how you take care of it when it's hot (unless of course it's a French secret :P ).

[@banjar10997]

a kind of rather heavy, semi-open-weave VISCOSE - also semi-transparent, so wear print! - is WONDERFUL in the heat! I always wear loose tops made of this when in hot countries, and it actually seems to COOL the air which flows right through it! Thanks for all your great tips!

[@Off_the_clock_astrophysicist]

I lived in the Southern United States for 10 years, first central Texas, then central Georgia. Very good tips that I learned over time. I would add three tips: 1) in an office setting or in more conservative regions of the world, if you have to cover your shoulders, use lace cover-ups. They don't weigh anything, only cover visually, add fun and variety, and dress up a summer outfit. 2) Use a light colored (and better yet a reflecting) umbrella against the sun. It is not a replacement for sunscreen, but adds sun protection and is psychologically soothing by providing shade. And if you get caught in a sudden summer thunderstorm, you are all set. 3) if you can't do the no make-up thing because you glow bright red when you are hot (me), try a light weight color correcting (green) tinted BB cream. I found one from L'Oreal that stays on my face all day, as long as I don't rub my face or don't sweat excessively (fails in central Texas because the heat and humidity are really excessive there, and in Central Georgia because of the small bugs that constantly tickle your face when outside). But in more habitable places, it works nicely.

[@Safykomy]

Thank you. Very useful tips 👌🏻
