Rise and Shine

Your summer routine is about to get a whole lot easier. Forget a total beauty overhaul, these fast fixes will have you glowing from top to toe.

Save a high-maintenance bold pout for special events; summer make-up should look and feel effortless. Lending a romantic, just-kissed finish, lip stains and tinted balms bring a flush of colour to a bare complexion.

easy moves

“Social media may make it seem like people are training two times a day, seven days a week, but that isn’t necessary to be a healthy, active human being,” says Ashley Joi, expert trainer on Chris Hemsworth’s health and fitness app, centr.com. Rather, she suggests seeking out activities you enjoy; that way you’re more likely to get out there and complete a workout. “Did you dance or swim back in the day? If so, boogie or dive back in. When your body starts to move like it used to, it will respond with that same sense of self and happiness.” Stuck in an office all week? Stepping away from your desk every 30 minutes for three minutes of activity will pay off, says Joi. “Walk a flight of stairs or do some squats. After an eight-hour day, you will have put in an impressive 48 minutes of movement.”
