Beauty Bootcamp

– Ready for summer in five steps –

I'm not really a sneaker fan myself, but with these golden shoes from Woden at Shoe-S, Carolien pulls it off just fine. A bag from Fabienne Chapot on her wrist and she's all set. half of the Netherlands is enjoying the breeze to drink a glass in another country and dip their toes in a tropical destination, I naturally seized the opportunity to put a few points in order. Or actually tips to combat the hair removal stress and unkempt nail looks and to be ahead of it. Really, think about it now, then you might have a little stress beforehand but during the vacation it will be incredibly relaxed.

Brown baked

We understand that you don’t want to lie on the beach looking pale. To make the transition for yourself and the contrast with your fellow beachgoers a little less stark, you can of course start working with a self-tanner. First, scrub well, that can’t hurt for the vacation, and then get to work with the tanners. A spray gives the most even result without turning you into an oompa loompa. By the way, a self-tanner does not mean you no longer need to use sunscreen.

Gel polish

At the editorial office, we really consider polished nails a must, especially on vacation. You don’t want to see chipped nail polish, and nail polish in the sun becomes super sticky, so it’s better to be prepared. Gel polish seems to be the solution because it doesn’t damage the natural nails and your polish stays on for two weeks. I-d-e-a-l.

Eyebrows

On vacation, you probably don’t feel like going through the whole car wash in the morning and turning over a huge makeup bag. No. Long live the Parisienne look of your je ne sais quoi.  Make sure to have good eyebrows, then you still have a bit of expression and character in your face. At Soap Treatment Store, they have good treatments where they shape and color your eyebrows, so you can really look good on vacation.

Summer haircut

In the summer, your hair grows faster due to the warm sunlight and also because of the vitamin D. And that vitamin D has many benefits, but also a downside, as it can feel like a bunch of straw. So, getting your haircut trimmed before a trip is definitely not a bad idea. And using a good color mask before vacation can’t hurt either, because the sun colors your hair completely differently after a dye job. Believe me, I know.

Smooth and shiny

On vacation, you don’t want to deal with a razor, because that just takes time and hassle. Go for a waxing treatment that lets you get rid of the daily shaving ritual for a few weeks. Just make sure to schedule it in time, because a waxing session can be quite intense for the skin, and you need to be careful with it for 48 hours afterwards.
