Fighting The Heat From Your Skin!

Hey folks, I'm sure most of you are dreading leaving the house because of the famous heatwave that descended upon us. As fashionistas we really get worried especially of our skin. This dreadful weather can never be good for our precious skin considering its a job on its own making it look fabulous. So how about we come up with a plan on how to protect our delicate skin? Good idea!!

1> Covering our face. You hear someone say I'm not a fan of hats but have you tried and failed? This is the time to find that face-covering hat that's stylish and will suit your sense of style. Whether we want it or not, this sun can be damaging to our skin and even worse, depriving it of all of its moisture. Go hat hunting today folks!

2> Apply moisturizers on your skin. Heat is known for depriving our skin of the moisture that makes is elastic and look smooth. So whenever you decide to apply anything to your skin, choose something that's moisture based to keep that skin looking and feeling fresh.

3> Apply sunscreen. Someone will say our black skin doesn't deserve sunscreen. Did you know that too much exposure to the sun elevates ones chances of having skin cancer. So folks look for the sunscreen with an average of SPF40 (Sun Protection Factor) and apply it to your skin especially parts that will be exposed to the sun. It works best if you apply it 30mins before you get exposed to the sun.

4> Putting on clothing that covers flesh. Yes it's hot but which one is better feeling hot that your skin getting burnt. One can look for light garments that cover most of your flesh like long sleeved tops to cover the arms.

5> Drinking lots of water. Our skin loses way too much water when it's hot and when this happens, it leaves our skin in dire need of rehydration. Keep that water bottle in your hand and you'll have your skin thanking you.

6> Protecting your eyes. The sun emits rays that can be very damaging to your eyes. So why not grab yourself a pair of amazing sunglasses that suit your style yet protecting your eyes. And please don't forget to choose a frame that suits your face structure.

So protect yourself from this heat folks and keep that stylish persona on point

Pulling The Sophisticated Gentlemen Look!

Many folks think that pulling the sophisticated gentlemen look is hard work. We'll take it from us, it's as easy as tying a scarf.

So we decided to come up with just 5 basic rules you can't afford to forget if u want to go down the formal route.

1) MATCH YOUR BELT WITH YOUR SHOES

> Well some things really go without saying.

2) TIE SHOULD REACH THE BUCKLE.

> Uhhmmmm obviously!

3) DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PRINT ON BOTH YOUR TIE AND POCKET SQUARE.

> Christmas tree alert!!!

4) YOUR SOCKS SHOULD HAVE THE COLOUR OF YOUR SHOES OR TROUSERS.

> This we would allow you to break especially if you about making statements.

5) IF YOU A BELIEVER OF SUSPENDERS THEN PLEEAASE AVOID PANTS WITH LOOPS.

> It's the 21st century for crying out aloud!

We just hope these will help!
