The bitter cold season is finally over, and the sun is coming out. We’re going to finally feel that warmer spring breeze that we’ve been waiting for. And who can forget the fact that spring break is finally here? This is the time for our beloved flip flops, light sweaters, and pretty hats. Most of us are going out of town or just staying in to enjoy our break. Since the sun is going to be out more, as much as we are, here are some tips that you can do to keep yourself feeling and, of course, looking cool this spring break.
Don’t forget the number one rule of thumb: Moisturize. Since we are going to be exposed to the sun more often, always keep in mind that our skin needs as much protection as everything else. Use sunscreen moisturizers, especially on your face. Because there’s nothing pretty about feeling sunburn on your face and looking like a lobster instead of having a nice tan.
Wear a hat. If you don’t feel like using a sunscreen moisturizer, at least protect your face with a hat. This can reduce those harmful UV rays that can damage your skin in the long run. A pair of sunglasses, moreover, is very advisable when being exposed to the sun. Your tinted sunglasses not only protect your eyes from the harmful rays, but can also protect the skin around your eyes,which is one of the most sensitive skins in your body.
Bring a light sweater all the time. When you are packing, keep in mind to bring a light sweater that you fancy. These light sweaters are not that warm but could keep you warm enough for those cool nightly walks through the beach or the park. Your sweater doesn’t only make you feel warm and comfortable; light sweaters, just like cardigans or light hoodies, also give you a fresher, casual, but a bit more put-together look.
Choose the right footwear. Since snow is possibly out of the forecast, unless you’re going to Colorado or the Alps this spring, snow boots are most likely not advisable this season. Instead take out your favorite sandals or open toed pumps to give you a fresher look.
Accessorize. This season, fun, bright and colorful accessories are in. Opt for those colorful beadings for necklaces and bracelets. The colors and the beadings give you a fresher, very spring like look, just in time this year.
Lastly, this spring break, don’t forget to have fun. Always keep in mind that everything has to be taken in moderation. And remember that we still need to come back to school for one more quarter, so we have to always take care of ourselves. So go ahead and have fun and always keep in mind that a great smile always makes your season brighter.
