6 quick fixes for every woman's summer beauty nightmares

DEFEAT CHUB RUB! STOP BLISTERS!

SUMMER IS A tough time for us girls, with hairy legs, fake tan, shorts, and humidity hair all out to get us – and that’s not even half of it.

But in heat like this, we all need a bit of extra help. Here are six products that will save your face (literally) in sunny weather.

1. Lush dusting powder

Silky-Underwear-Packaging Lush Lush

You can use it all over the body, but writer Bim Adewunmi recommends dusting some on your thighs to combat the dreaded chub rub. No more chafing! Praise the lord! (But ignore the creepy name.)

2. Setting spray

This gets rid of that awful “MY FACE IS MELTING!” feeling. Urban Decay do the best ones - this travel-size bottle is €12. Put it in your bag, and be glad.

3. Essence blotting papers

Just €2.49 in Penneys. Get ‘em, stick them to your face, and be revolted by the amount of oil that comes off you.

4. Neutrogena Foot Cream

You want to wear flip-flops, but your feet look like something out of a horror film. We know, ours do too.

This softening foot cream costs €7.99 (and is half price in Boots right now) and makes your toes look less frightening.

5. Frizz Ease

6. Compeed Anti-Blister Stick

So you’ve finally got the feet out – but your new sandals are giving you hell for it. Swipe this (€6.69) on the problem area and tell that friction to p*ss off.

Now go off, have fun, and leave your chafing, oily worries behind.
