Sip your way into being summer ready! The tips and tricks to looking your best as temperatures rise (including one you can DRINK!)
Ad Feature by Vitabiotics
We’re all breathing a sigh of relief as Spring is here, and warmer temperatures are finally on their way.
But while many of us are looking forward to long summer days ahead, we all know hotter temperatures pose something of a challenge on the beauty front.
Heat combined with humidity can affect your appearance in lots of ways, from wreaking havoc on makeup, to leaving hair looking dull and frizzy.
While many of us are looking forward to long summer days ahead, we all know hotter temperatures pose something of a challenge on the beauty front
Perfectil, the UK's No1 beauty supplement brand† from Vitabiotics, is here to help with a few handy tips and tricks for coping with the warmer temperatures, including some you can drink!
As they say, the early bird catches the worm, so read on to make sure you are well prepared and ready to hit the ground running for summer 2024...
Blot away melted makeup
Hot weather can cause some of the ingredients in makeup to break apart, leaving the surface of your skin looking shiny and oily.
It can be tempting to powder your face every time this happens, but doing this several times during a day out will make your skin appear caked and may start settling into any lines or wrinkles.
An easy and low-maintenance solution is to carry around some blotting papers that you can use to dab away any excess oil whenever needed.
That way you can control any surplus shine while leaving your makeup undisturbed with a nice matte finish.
Cleansing twice a day during the summer is another good way to clear sweat and other impurities from your skin
Up your exfoliation game
It's no secret that when the weather hots up we all do one thing a lot more than usual... sweat!
Increased perspiration sometimes leads to a build-up of impurities on your skin that may clog your pores.
Of course, sun cream is an absolute essential during summer, but heavy types may contribute to this process.
One solution is to consider a twice-a-day cleanse to help clear sweat and other impurities from your skin, or exfoliate more often.
Give your skin extra support
While many splash the cash on expensive beauty products in a bid to get a summer glow, true beauty really begins on the inside.
As the body's largest and most visible organ, skin is a top priority on any beauty checklist, so it makes sense to ensure you are treating it to specially targeted support.
Targeted support inside and out: Perfectil Platinum Collagen Skin Drink, from Vitabiotics
Perfectil Platinum Collagen Skin Drink contains 7000mg of Peptan Marine Collagen Peptides, and is precision-optimised to support skin.
The passion-fruit flavour drink includes biotin and zinc to support normal skin, alongside L-Lysine, Hyaluronic Acid, Blackcurrant Seed Oil and Co-Q10.
Collagen is often known as the building block of the skin, and the form of the protein you'll find in Perfectil has a particularly low molecular weight to ensure can be easily absorbed by the body.
Don't leave off your lips!
We're more aware than ever of the importance of staying safe in the sun, but some parts of the body still don't get the attention they deserve.
Not everyone knows that your lips can easily become sunburnt just like the rest of your skin.
Applying SPF to your lips helps protect them from damage, with specialist balms available if you would rather not use normal sun cream.
Your scalp is also vulnerable to burning, so consider using a hair and scalp SPF, or at least make sure you wear a hat.
Last but not least, don't forget your eyelids! These can also be damaged by UV rays, so be sure to wear sunglasses and a cap.
Take care of your hair
Luscious locks that glisten in the sun are one of the summer's most sought-after looks, but just like with skin the secret to radiant hair starts from within.
Perfectil, from Vitabiotics, has been providing nutritional support from the inside for more than two decades - and its the only beauty vitamin the world to have received the Queen's Award for Innovation.
Perfectil Platinum Collagen Hair Drink takes hair care to the next level by delivering a premium blend of nutrients and minerals, including zinc, which supports normal hair.

Like the Skin Drink it comes in a tasty passion fruit flavour and contains 7000mg Peptan Marine Collagen Peptides for easy absorption by the body.
It also provides selenium and zinc to support normal hair, as well as copper - which contributes to normal hair pigmentation.
In addition to Keratin and Inositol, Perfectil Platinum Collagen Hair Drink delivers Blackcurrant Seed Oil and L-Lysine.
The drink is also a source of iron, a mineral that helps to maintain the normal formation of red blood cells - which are needed to carry oxygen to every cell in the body - including hair follicles.
Less is more
As we've already mentioned, makeup has the potential to slip and slide in the summer, so the best way to avoid this from happening is to wear less of it.
You may find some tinted moisturiser with a spot of concealer enough to get you through the day, particularly if temperatures become very hot.
Some things are worth investing in though, like a good waterproof eyeliner that won't become smudged.
Wearing less makeup during the summer can make you better prepared for warmer temperatures
Get out and about
The short, dark days of winter don't always offer the best conditions for walks, runs and cycle rides, but summer offers more opportunities to get moving.
Exercising isn't just great for your overall wellbeing, it also improves your circulation.
This leads to an increase in the amount of oxygen and nutrients going to your skin cells, helping to keep them healthy.
