Which category do you fall into at the beach – slap on sunscreen tie your hair up and roll on down, or applying a little bit of your daily face to put your best foot forward?
There are pro’s and cons to either suggestion and you just do you, girl. But if you were interested in maybe a little beach makeup, our recommendations are below!
Makeup to the Beach – Yes or No Thanks?
YES
Pros:
– Many foundations or BB creams contain SPF so if you’ve gone a little lax on the sunscreen this will help out (your face at least)
– Make up is life
– Highlighter shines brighter in the sun
Cons:
– Horrible Panda Eyes when you emerge from the surf
– Foundation melting off your face as you sit in said sun
– Makeup blocks the pores so if you start sweating you can trap nasties on the skin, leading to breakouts and other skin conditions.
NO
Pros:
– Can rub your eyes and touch your skin freely
– Don’t have to worry about sweat or sand being caught in your beautifully beat face
– No heavy feeling of foundation – just the beautiful sea breeze kissing your skin
Cons:
– Layering up on sunscreen can leave your skin looking and feeling greasy
– Harmful UVA/B rays hitting your precious unprotected face (if you’ve forgot sunscreen)
– Sub-par beach selfies
