Wear brimmed hats
Wide brimmed hats, baseball caps and other kinds of hats, help keep the sun at bay. Find one that can also pep up your outfit and make you look glamorous.
Wear sleeveless summer dress
Summer cotton dresses are great for this season. They are not only feminine, they are colourful and comfortable to wear. You can also find a sleeveless dress in special occasion wears. If you are not comfortable with a sleeveless dress, decide which sleeve length will be good for you.
Use sunscreen

Drink plenty of water
Dehydration is inevitable with the way the sun is blazing. Drink plenty of water and always keep a bottle nearby to quench that thirst.
It is advised to drink at least eight cups of water a day. But with this sun, you need to help yourself to more cups. Drink water before, during and after physical activity
