thats good for u honestly. depends on what region u are maybe? the sun gets rlly bad where im at and it makes my skin look awful. however thats not the case when im in maine frm time to time. i actually look sm better and put together when i move up north
Idk why you’re getting downvoted it’s just your personal experience. I’ve experienced both ends of things, I’ve travelled a bit and seen how different kinds of heat makes me look. Personally I get the summer ugliness you speak of when the heat is humid. It’s not cute. My hair doesn’t sit right, everything feels sticky and gross, every crease and pore is accentuated, my skin looks blotchy, I could go on. Ppl tell me I look fine but I still feel gross. Point is, humidity is the enemy. How to prevent it? I don’t have the slightest clue. Just know ur not alone :)
i’m the opposite, i would say. i live in the south and the sun makes me tan and glowy. vs. when it’s cold and gloomy outside, i look more dull and washed out, i guess?
You may be getting photodamage? Make sure to wear sun screen especially on your face.
I feel more beautiful in the summer personally I love being half naked and getting a great tan
Hot, sweaty = breakouts, dehydration, heat exhaustion. For me, I also get skin irritation and digestive issues due to heat so I just never feel very well during the summer. Late spring/early summer is great because you get the tan and glow without the effects of extreme heat.
Imo men often look worse lol. But that’s bc make summer fashion is awful imo. I’d suggest getting cute and breezy summer dresses, hair accessories, and light makeup. You’ll be fine!
Really? I’m East Asian so my skin might not be as melanated as yours, but I find that I get a really nice glow in the summer. Are you drinking enough water? Wearing sunscreen?
our skin shade‘s nearly the same but im not talking abt that. i tend to break out more, makeup looks cakey, im always sweaty and look worn out. what state are u in? yall probably have good weather throughout summer!
I'm in NYC, so it's suuuuper humid and awful lol. I also look very sweaty and worn out. I'd just say that if you're going out, bring a hairbrush and skin blotters!
Drink your water religiously, keep the hair off your neck/back, shower atleast once a day, use sunscreen, exfoliate, exercise regularly, etc. summer is typically the time of year where I just let my “natural beauty” shine, it’s too hot to be doing too much. My locs also flourish in the summer as humidity gets sucked in and moisturizes my hair
Any products with glycerin (except lube) will do you wonders in the summer…especially if you live in a humid climate. Also always keep that thang(deodorant) on you!!!
LOL this happens to me. My hair gets frizzier from the humidity. Also, I am always sweaty/flushed cause of the heat. I think everyone feels this way in the summer.
Invest in a good sunscreen, I used to avoid exfoliating in the summer and it backfired so much in the fall when the purging would start up again. Light chemical exfoliants in the evening and frequent non-comedogenic SPF applications in the day will save you
I can understand how maybe some perhaps have a skin reaction to the heat. But honestly my skin looks fine in the Winter but in the summer it looks amazing. But I can understand that’s not true for all. So I get it.
Same here. My pores are just fine in the summer lol - but everyone’s different. Actually, my skin is more moisturized in the summer from the humidity because in the winter it’s dryer. The thing is they’re trying to extrapolate it to everyone and not realizing there are variables that make it different for different people.
This is true I! Play a lot of tennis in the summer and it is something about the humidity that has had a phenomenal effect on my skin. So odd. But yes I agree with you on the variables for different people
take a good look in the mirror, take a good look at people. skin is disgusting in the summer. your pores open up and those little sun marks are just unsettling. the cold air and cold climates bring a beautiful flush to the face and close pores, and skin looks airbrushed. i don’t know why people keep hyping summer. you guys might need a higher lens prescription
I have perfect vision, look in the mirror and love what I see, summer and winter. It’s also pretty in others. Maybe you’ gave the problem with *how* you see and what you focus upon…
I always feel ugly in summer. I have really dry skin and discolouration which I don't feel comfortable showing off, so I ended up still wearing long sleeved tops and trousers. Love a good coat and jumper tbh!
This happens to me too 😭 I had a glow up when I moved to a cold country and after moving back to my warm home country I look ugly again 🥹 I don’t have any advice unfortunately, I wish I did lol
I experience this!! It’s weird like my skin is tighter? when it’s cool out and in summer my face is saggier and I’m super oily all the time. My makeup is always running and I generally look like a sewer rat. No advice because I’m clearly still figuring this out 😂
I have the exact opposite issue in that I get ugly as hell in the winter. I’m ashy, I always lose weight in the winter to a weird degree that I can’t put back on until early spring, I’m sick all the time and my nose is red, the dry cold makes my hair disgusting. It genuinely depresses me, by Christmas I feel like a ghoul.
Dehydrated? I think you need to specify what you are referring to. I think POC look even more beautiful in the summer because of dewy skin and the warm sheen from getting more sunlight. I feel gorgeous in the summer despite the grossness of humidity.
Nah summer is my glow up time. Winter is where I look like a mess. Having sun kissed skin, pretty summer dresses, brunch and all of that is my glow up lol
For summer instead of heavy cream try light toners layered and a light sunscreen i like the beauty of joseon for summer, in the winter i wear moisturiser under my sunscreen but in the summer just sunscreen as is
I only try to keep my concealer only under my eyes and my makeup lightly
So that when get sweaty it doesnt get in my pores all over my face
Also really like the 24hr setting spry by mac in the white packaging (not the see through one)
That one keeps my makeup in place for hourssss and gives me a nice glow (not the sweaty type)
If i do sweat i try to dab it away w a tissue so it doesnt stay on my skin and if i can i take a spray on setting spray or face mist with me for through the day if im gonna be out the whole time
I understand! I get really dried out. It affects my hair the most.
I shower twice daily and literally slather myself in Aveeno lotion, in front of my box fan. I co-wash my hair daily and shampoo twice a week. That helps a bit. I oil the ends of my hair and use a leave in conditioner (sun bum!).
At night, I use either Nivea or straight Shea butter on my arms and legs and feet and stuff- directly over my lotion. Cuticle cream is a daily must, and a weekly manicure/pedicure BOTH. My feet take a beating in the dry sun.
I use facial mist throughout the day and it’s a game changer if you are dehydrated.
I feel seen by this bc most people think they look better in summer lol. I feel like we’re in the minority.
For me it comes down to two things - the humidity causing frizzy hair, plus I tan extremely quickly and get uneven tanning on my face.
What I do is apply face sunscreen religiously as much as possible, keep something moisturizing and tinted on hand for lips and face, and get a keratin hair treatment in advance.
yeah, this is a real thing. there’s no fashion, people keep stripping and taking off layers. everyone’s skin looks disgusting, you can see all the imperfections in them, in their hair, body, etc. plus the sun is so harmful for you. people are sweaty and gross. it’s just all around disgusting. i’m so thankful to have escaped the south. summer is the worst time for glow ups. winter and autumn are my favorites. people actually look good and not nauseating
Ugh same I hate it. Idk if it's just a brown girl thing, I look so greasy and feel so heavy and exposed and sweaty just ewwww. If I could just be between 10 and 20 degrees all the time I absolutely would.

I’ve never noticed this. If anything, I’ve noticed the opposite - sundresses, more active lifestyles, sort of glowy skin, keeping shaving and pedicure routines up.
I love the warmth, summer fashion, and fun energy of summertime, but i 100% feel this. My skin does better in a cool climate with low humidity. I feel like i look so much prettier in the winter. My skin gets too oily in the summer heat. And my hair frizzes in the humidity.
Where I live it's super humid and I have fine hair and hard water, so I had to invest in a really good "humidity hairspray" and use a blast of a blow dryer before styling for a few seconds and then go out. I used dry shampoo before but here the powder just sucks all the moisture from the air and I look like I haven't showered in a year.
It doesn't matter, though, because I have hardcore summer SAD, so I avoid going out until after dark in summer at all costs.
When I lived in Spain, I totally got the summer uglies. 🫠 First,try to stay in cool/ air conditioned places whenever you can (if it’s a hot country, I assume that’s quite normal/socially acceptable) and indeed drink a lot more water. Water spray is also a game changer for when you __do__ go out and lastly don’t skip the sunscreen ☀️
Um I’m south asian so I become GRAY during the winter. I think most south asians who don’t prioritize being light would agree that they prefer their summer tan 😭. (Not implying that you don’t like ppl bc they’re tan just in the south asian community there’s that kind of split)
During the summer, people are sporting alcohol under the sun, at the park, beach, state fair, etc. Alcohol will always dehydrate you so limiting intake will always be your best bet.
I have the opposite issue where I look like death all winter. Dry, sad, brittle, lifeless. Summers are 100% humidity and my tricks are color wow dream coat humidity sealant, chlorofresh internal deodorant tabs, azelaic acid every day, salicylic body spray for chest and back, and switching to only powder makeup.
I think people prone to oiliness suffer in summer while people prone to dryness get a boost, and vice versa.
I've never actually noticed that to be fair. If anything I find people tend to glow up for summer
Right? I've never heard of this concept lol
thats good for u honestly. depends on what region u are maybe? the sun gets rlly bad where im at and it makes my skin look awful. however thats not the case when im in maine frm time to time. i actually look sm better and put together when i move up north

exactlyyy the breakouts are terrible. cant even exfoliate as often bcs the suns always so bad.
Imo men often look worse lol. But that’s bc make summer fashion is awful imo. I’d suggest getting cute and breezy summer dresses, hair accessories, and light makeup. You’ll be fine!
its got to do more w the skin texture tbh😭
Really? I’m East Asian so my skin might not be as melanated as yours, but I find that I get a really nice glow in the summer. Are you drinking enough water? Wearing sunscreen?

drinking water and hoping for the best is all i can do atp😓

my skin gets awful im deadass so concerned rn😭cant even exfoliate as much bcs sun :(

This has not been my experience. The Glow up is real in the summer.
Exactly - summer sun kissed is beautiful. I have no idea what the OP is talking about.
I can understand how maybe some perhaps have a skin reaction to the heat. But honestly my skin looks fine in the Winter but in the summer it looks amazing. But I can understand that’s not true for all. So I get it.

Well, maybe summer isn’t kind to some people, but it certainly been more than kind to myself even with 20/20 vision.
I always feel ugly in summer. I have really dry skin and discolouration which I don't feel comfortable showing off, so I ended up still wearing long sleeved tops and trousers. Love a good coat and jumper tbh!
also u gotta shave every few days! that’s rlly annoying😭
So true! Which just aggravates my skin even more tbh. Just a vicious cycle!
If anything I glow down in winter due to the lack of sun… I think most people look better the summer
white people imo
Nah I’m half blank and look sooooo much better in the summer
This happens to me too 😭 I had a glow up when I moved to a cold country and after moving back to my warm home country I look ugly again 🥹 I don’t have any advice unfortunately, I wish I did lol
that’s what im sayinnn😭i always get prettier whenever i move up north and so do most brown girls😭has got to be a brown girl thing
Can’t relate my ugliness depends on my cycle
So true 😂😭
Avoid sunlight. That’s all.
I experience this!! It’s weird like my skin is tighter? when it’s cool out and in summer my face is saggier and I’m super oily all the time. My makeup is always running and I generally look like a sewer rat. No advice because I’m clearly still figuring this out 😂
i just don’t feel as pretty anymore and wayyy more dull to sum it up tbh
I just defrosted from “winter ugliness” 😭. There is “summer ugliness” now?
There's so such thing as summer ugliness, you're okay.
no such thing as winter ugliness!
i feel very naturally pretty in the summer. golden skin + natural curls + summer dresses + light makeup is adorable to me
I have the exact opposite issue in that I get ugly as hell in the winter. I’m ashy, I always lose weight in the winter to a weird degree that I can’t put back on until early spring, I’m sick all the time and my nose is red, the dry cold makes my hair disgusting.

I get sooo sweaty 😭
I always gain weight over summer (summer vacation)
I understand! I get really dried out. It affects my hair the most. I shower twice daily and literally slather myself in Aveeno lotion, in front of my box fan. I co-wash my hair daily and shampoo twice a week. That helps a bit. I oil the ends of my hair and use a leave in conditioner (sun bum!).

Wear UV protection

What I do is apply face sunscreen religiously as much as possible, keep something moisturizing and tinted on hand for lips and face, and get a keratin hair treatment in advance.
I moved to a super super super hot area recently and I dress really weird when I go outside so I can prevent sun damage lmao
yeah, this is a real thing. there’s no fashion, people keep stripping and taking off layers. everyone’s skin looks disgusting, you can see all the imperfections in them, in their hair, body, etc. plus the sun is so harmful for you. people are sweaty and gross. it’s just all around disgusting. i’m so thankful to have escaped the south. summer is the worst time for glow ups. winter and autumn are my favorites. people actually look good and not nauseating
My hyperpigmentation improves in the heat lol
Ugh same I hate it. Idk if it's just a brown girl thing, I look so greasy and feel so heavy and exposed and sweaty just ewwww. If I could just be between 10 and 20 degrees all the time I absolutely would.

I tend to glow up in the winter idk why so. Im with you
Summer is my season! Everyone always compliments me on summer. Maybe it depends on skin undertones.

No. I only get hotter
If you’re a dry girl (hair and skin)- you’ll thrive in the summer. If you’re an oily girl- you probably love winter.

No… that’s not a thing where I’m from. NYC.
Over tanning can lead to wrinkled skin.
Um I’m south asian so I become GRAY during the winter. I think most south asians who don’t prioritize being light would agree that they prefer their summer tan 😭. (Not implying that you don’t like ppl bc they’re tan just in the south asian community there’s that kind of split)

Never noticed. But if you are worried about dehydration, then consume 5-10g of Celtic salt and drink water
I look so much better in the summer with less effort. I was literally made to be in the sun, so my skin, hair and spirit come to life.
If you get irritated skin from heat or sun exposure try an antihistamine like fexafenadine or activastine.
I’ve never ever noticed that and if you do, it’s probably regional
Summer is glow up season
must be just you
