Please, please, please make sure that you’re staying hydrated throughout the day. True moisture starts from within so bring a water bottle with you in your bag. Proper hydration not only helps to prevent dry, tight skin, it also keeps you safe in the hot summer sun.

4) A Scarf
You can never go wrong with packing an extra scarf in your weekend bag. A scarf automatically makes your wardrobe more versatile. It’s lightweight and easy to travel with. It’s a wonderful cover up for those air-conditioned indoor spaces and for when it gets chilly in the evenings. Plus, it’s really practical for wrapping your hair when you feel like trying a different style. There’s a reason why this look is a top choice among designers this summer.
5) Bold Colors

Don’t carry the dark, drab colors of winter into the new season with you! Work on incorporating bursts of color into your clothes and your make-up for the summer to lighten things up. A super matte lipstick is the way to revamp your look and put in a little twist to your day. Black Radiance, Maybelline and Milani are some of our favorite brands to go to for this look.
6) Moisturizer
