I thought everyone might need a little boost to make it through to the end of summer. Here are Seven tips to help you keep your cool for the remainder of the summer...
1) Remember Sunscreen – I know this sounds obvious but I want to remind you because it is the number one reason why your skin wrinkles, becomes splotchy and discolored, and looks like a dried up sponge! This is one of my top “secrets” to having younger-looking skin – I wear SPF 50 underneath all my makeup. There is no such thing as a “safe” tan or a “little color”. When your skin changes color it is in response to damage.
2) IF you want to add some color to your skin...go for a walk, do some yoga! (this will help bring blood into your cheeks give you some natural “color” and bring more oxygen to your skin cells which equals healthier looking skin), use self-tanner OR use Genie Make Me Blush all over like you would a bronzer!

3) Put your eye cream in the fridge!  This will not damage the ingredients or performance and will feel like a spa treatment when you apply morning and night...
4) Try switching your foundation (I know this sounds scary but we can make it easy for you).  I switch from our Line Smoothing (liquid) foundation to our Line Smoothing Cashmere (minerals) in the summer.  What’s particularly great about the Cashmere Mineral Foundation is that it is water-resistant, sweat-proof and has a natural SPF 15  in it.  Our shades also match in the liquid and the mineral so if you are a Medium shade in the liquid, you will be a medium in the Cashmere Mineral.  (Life’s hard enough—we like to make it easy for you!)

5) Stop the shine! At the very least use a transparent, finishing powder (like Genie Cashmere Powder) to mattify your skin.  The best part about this product is that it is invisible on your skin, does not emphasize lines and wrinkles (it is a Genie product after all) AND it does not build up on your skin with multiple applications.  It’s the quickest, easiest way to look “finished” without a lot of work. Also it’s a great product to use to set your makeup. If you are using liquid foundation – it’s the best way to make sure there is no “meltdown” occurring during this last hot month!
6) You’ve heard that tea bags help reduce puffiness (so does Genie Instant Line Smoother) but if you are  DIY girl and want to try a little spa treatment at home I love this idea of creating green tea ice cubes and using them to relax and refresh your eyes.  (just remember to put a napkin between your skin and the ice cube so you don’t burn your skin. Get started here!
