It started with a sticky, sleepless July night when I caught my reflection in the bathroom mirror and thought: why does my skin look this tired… even after a full day off? If you’ve ever woken up in the summer feeling like your skin is already in a bad mood — I get it. All the sweat, sunscreen, heat and city dust can be a lot to handle. And our usual routines? Often too heavy, too much, or just plain wrong for the season. So I shifted. One product at a time. One night at a time. Little by little,…

Have you ever looked in the mirror during summer and thought, “Why does my skin look so… tired?” This happened to me one July morning in Miami—my cheeks were red, my forehead was glossy and I noticed my fine lines more than the day before. I used to think it was just “normal summer skin.” It turns out that heat and humidity not only make you sweat but also help your body age faster. I’ll explain what our skin goes through in hot, humid weather, how I realized it was happening to me and what I did to fix the…

Summer always sneaks up on me. Sometimes I’m freezing and want a beanie and the next moment I’m sweating at my hairline. However, I didn’t expect that my usual winter hair care routine would be so simple. It completely stopped working once the heat rolled in. If your hair suddenly feels flat, frizzy, or just… not right, you’re not imagining it. I was in the same boat, wondering why my hair was acting so strangely. I’m sharing here what I did to get back on track when the weather got warm. Your hair needs a summer plan just like your…

It hit me while brushing my hair in front of a hotel mirror: the rich copper tones I loved just two weeks ago had faded into something dull and brassy. The sun, the pool and my good intentions had made all my colorist’s work disappear. Sound familiar? It can be tough to keep your hair color looking good after a season of sun, salt and sweat. I used to think that was just how summer went—you enjoy the fun, but your hair suffers. Not anymore. I’m sharing the exact steps, changes and thoughts that helped me maintain my color all…

It started with something I thought I was doing right. Morning skincare, sunscreen, foundation, a touch of blush. Done. Protected. Ready. At 1 PM, the sun was still very strong and my skin? No longer shielded. I could almost feel the UV rays laughing at my confidence. If you’ve ever paused mid-day wondering whether to mess up your makeup just to reapply sunscreen, you’re not alone. It’s a real struggle for anyone who wears makeup and cares about skin health. In this article, I’m walking you through what actually works when it comes to applying SPF over makeup. This isn’t…

Have you ever stepped out of a perfectly cool room in the summer, only to realize your hair feels like straw? I found myself wondering every day why my hair became brittle by the end of the day. It wasn’t until a quiet moment on a weekend (no office, no AC) that I realized: my hair wasn’t reacting to the sun. It was reacting to the cold. If you are mostly inside during the hot months, you probably depend on air conditioning. Although AC cools your body, it also quietly takes moisture from your hair. In this article, I’ll show…

I didn’t realize it at first… It started with a feeling — not just on my scalp, but in my mood. My hair was heavy, brittle, lifeless. I’d touch my hair and only feel the static electricity. Not breakage, not oil, not dryness. Just… fatigue. Like my hair had given up on me. Sound familiar? If your strands are acting up no matter what you do — even after switching products or trimming split ends — you might be dealing with what I call hair burnout. And summer? It’s the peak season for it. But don’t worry — there’s a…

It started with a sticky scalp and zero volume… Have you ever had a hot summer day when your hair just won’t behave? It’s just been washed, but it feels heavy, oily and a bit dull, as if it’s still carrying something. That was me. Even the best dry shampoo or conditioner couldn’t help. At first, I thought I needed a new product. Maybe a different shampoo. A better hair mask. However, nothing helped until I realized that my hair needed a complete reset. That’s when I discovered hair detox. If your summer hair care routine seems boring, this post…

Have you ever come back from a beach weekend and realized your hair feels like straw? Because, honestly, that was me last July. I thought I was doing everything right: conditioner, hair oil, even skipping heat styling. But still, my ends were splitting faster than I could book my next trim. If you’re nodding right now, welcome. You’re not alone. While summer brings sun-kissed skin and salty air, it also causes a problem for your hair. dry, brittle, breakage-prone hair. Especially if your strands are already fine or color-treated (like mine). I’ll explain in this post what helped me keep…
