So basically, there’s a a lot of it but the hairs themselves are thinner than bobbin thread. To top things off, it’s curly. So hot, humid climates (like my home city of Rio de Janeiro) are my hair’s worst enemy if I plan on doing a blow out and flat iron. Don’t get me wrong, I love my curls… but it feels so good to run my hands and fingers through smooth, silky strands without having to worry about frizzing out my hair. The climate in Portugal is ideal for blowouts during the colder months. It’s not quite as dry as the warmer seasons but it sure beats Rio. Warmer weather tends to lower my blood pressure, which is already naturally low, often leaving me listless and lethargic. So I style my hair with curl creams and gels, brushing it only during this stage and still very wet. I scrunch and diffuse if I’m not in a hurry but sometimes I just let it air dry. This photo was taken roughly ten years ago and my “photographer” friend Facetuned my face until it was barely recognizable, but that was more or less what my natural hair used to look like when I took the time to style it properly. I’ll add a photo with straight hair if I can find a decent one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326486 Wed, 14 Jun 2023 12:24:35 +0000 Aquamarine 2326486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mainly use body and foot cream more religiously in the summer…that crepey dry skin can’t hide as well. I use sunscreen year-round on my face, but I might add a hat in warm sunny weather. I’ll also do/get a pedicure once my toes are bared.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326483 Wed, 14 Jun 2023 12:19:12 +0000 April 2326483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. A and I have recently gotten to appreciate a natural deodorant that actually works really well (!!!) and does not give me - the sensitive skin one - a baking soda burn.&nbsp; It's called No Pong (Aussie brand) and that is the biggest change we've both made.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I do use a Eucerin sunscreen lotion on my face and neck but prefer SPF clothing to sunscreen on the rest of my skin.&nbsp; This summer I have gotten Mr. A on board with wearing <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sunprecautions.com/product/45000">this sort of hat</a>.&nbsp; I love that it comes in sizes (I have a large head and he has a rather small head) and light-colored 100 SPF pants, both for sun and for spotting deer ticks.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>We also stock up on Zanfel, which is a poison-ivy miracle.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326479 Wed, 14 Jun 2023 12:11:28 +0000 Anonymous 2326479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No big changes for me- just sunscreen when needed and powder foundation instead of cream. Some days I just let my hair air dry and hope for the best! </p> <p>My toenails are painted most of the year, cause I wear sandals anytime it's over 60. Legs/underarms get shaved daily- year round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326475 Wed, 14 Jun 2023 12:00:27 +0000 quietloud 2326475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The one thing that changes for me is more sunscreen! I change out my foundation for the Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex with spf 50, which has enough coverage to work as a foundation for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also do a round of self tanner about once a week in the summer months, which I usually don't bother with the rest of the year.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and shaving of course. I'm lazy in the winter months, but in the summer I shave my legs pretty much every day, as I have very dark hair that grows super quickly. I am seriously considering investing in an at-home laser device.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326404 Tue, 13 Jun 2023 22:28:59 +0000 nuancedream 2326404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My biggest change is with my hair, which gets drier and frizzier from perspiration, sun, etc. I use a hair suncreen that's very moisturizing. The downside is that it can cause build up that weighs my hair down. So I use a clarifying shampoo that doesn't dry my hair out every 3rd or 4th washing. It's like a reset button and makes my conditioner more effective. I get temp hair color about 3 times per year, but skip it in the summer and let the white hairs become a little more prominent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326393 Tue, 13 Jun 2023 20:19:25 +0000 Style Fan 2326393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing changes here.&nbsp; I used to paint my toenails, but my nails reject polish.&nbsp; It won't stay on me.&nbsp; :(&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I wear sunscreen on my face every day.&nbsp; I am outside a lot.&nbsp; I wear long sleeves when I am in the sun for long periods.&nbsp; I usually wear long pants.&nbsp; If my legs are bare, I don't wear sunscreen.&nbsp; I know, I know.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326389 Tue, 13 Jun 2023 20:04:41 +0000 LJP 2326389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to use it on my fine thin hair and liked it !

I used to paint toe nails for sandals but no longer wear them. Nail care is more of a daily thing in summer as I wear more fabric shoes and toe nails that are too long or sharp can ruin them quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326344 Tue, 13 Jun 2023 12:44:30 +0000 Angie 2326344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting! </p> <p>I’ve been wracking my brains. Not one seasonal change in beauty regimen comes to mind. Not for hair, skin, body or spirit. I don’t paint my nails. I use sunscreen daily so it’s the same routine.

I let it go more natural in the summer as I wash it more often and just let it dry. I more often use a salt spray on hair.<br /> Sun screen is also added to the routine. And earrings and bracelets play a bigger part as summer outfit completers. They add to outfits without adding to warmth. The bracelets won’t be a problem with coat sleeves. Underarms, toes and legs get almost daily shaves as they are more on display. Good topic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326340 Tue, 13 Jun 2023 12:20:14 +0000 RobinF 2326340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not much change for me - other than polishing my toenails and shaving a little more frequently. My hair fights frizz year round and I always have to experiment with different products, seems a little worse in the summer which makes sense. Mine isn't as curly as yours and gets weighed down easily. I sure wish I had a magic hair solution! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326321 Tue, 13 Jun 2023 08:17:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 2326321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I don’t have a grooming routine. No hair product just regular shampoo and conditioner. I own 3 hair products and use them very seldom. Sunscreen on sunny days. No moisturiser.<br /> About twice a year for parties I paint my own nails.<br /> One benefit of getting older is the almost disappearance of leg hairs. I was going to use the usual depilatory cream (Veet brand) before the wedding trip but there was so little there I didn’t bother.<br /> I don’t like beauty “work” ever since reading The Beauty Myth when I was 30.

I have experimented a lot with sunscreens that don't stain my clothes for my neck and arms, and now feet as well. I always wear sunscreen but now have more exposed skin. No other major changes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326302 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 23:48:22 +0000 Irina 2326302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I make small changes- in the summer months I sometimes wear tinted sunscreen on my face but I use clear one in the winter.

I rely on that Kiehl’s Creme with Silk Groom! I stocked up last winter and use it rather sparingly so I hadn’t shopped for it recently enough to know if it’s discontinuation. Oh man. Now I need to start looking for a replacement. Crap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326297 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 22:40:39 +0000 Murph11 2326297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really change my routine much, except reapplying sunscreen if I'll be exposed.</p> <p>This curl serum keeps my curls more defined and w/o frizz better than any product I've tried. I rake it thru my post-shower wet hair and then don't touch it again. I almost never use my dryer (with diffuser); just let it dry naturally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326296 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 22:35:56 +0000 judy 2326296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My routine remains the same...just face moisturizer and a hair cream for the frizz.&nbsp; Hands down the best for my hair was Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom.&nbsp;I used it for 20 plus years.&nbsp; I stocked up on the big sizes and then when I went to resupply, found it was unavailable, and had been that way for some time.&nbsp; Turns out Loreal bought the company and discontinued the product.&nbsp; Why??&nbsp; People are NOT happy about this.&nbsp; Read the angry reviews! (and some tubes selling for 150 dollars on ebay, crazy!)&nbsp; They do say they are going to bring it back which is good news because Kiehl's serum is not as good, I find.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I currently alternate between Olaplex Bonding Oil&nbsp; and also Leonor Greyl Styling Creme.&nbsp; Both are pricier...and still not as good as my old standby, but I only need a very small amount of product to do the job and they smell great.&nbsp; Another thing that has helped my frizz quotient has been to use New Wash (I use Deep) instead of shampoo and conditioner.&nbsp; That's been a real game changer for me. Pricey too, but I don't need to use it every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326295 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 22:23:56 +0000 cat2 2326295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried adding a bit of oil to help with the frizz? I like Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Finishing Oil.

However, I've been waxing long enough (and I am sure age doesn't hurt in this regard, either) that the hair grwos back fine enough that I now wax all year round.</p> <p>Oh, and I polish my toenails a brigh color all summer and generally don't in the winter.</p> <p>I let my hair grow as summer approaches and then generally braid it or otherwise tie it back in the hot weather. Then I get it cut in the fall again. Because I keep it pulled back, I don't worry much about frizz. That, and my hair is straight to begin with.</p> <p>I wear sunscreen on my face and hands every day, winter or summer, but I apply it to any other exposed areas in the summer, too. That isn't so bad in that I often use a spray on arms and legs. But while exercising and more and more in everyday, I wear sun protective clothing. It cuts down on the need for sunscreen and I don't run as warm as I used to so long sleeves aren't necessarily stifling on many days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-grooming-routine-with-the-season%e2%80%a6#post-2326287 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 20:43:44 +0000 Anonymous 2326287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just the addition of sunscreen in hot weather.</p> <p> I use Cantu leave-in conditioner.
