Afternoon beauty fix / Manage chlorine-induced frizz fast:



No need to cut down on late-night dips when you can manage frizz with John Frieda Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer ($15, at drugstores). Pop the mascara-like wand into your purse to tidy unkempt strands. Its main ingredient, Inca Inchi Oil, will smooth your ballerina bun back in place and add a little shine for good measure.

Afternoon beauty fix / Get long-lasting SPF protection that won’t conflict with your makeup:



Reapplying chemical SPF is a must in order to guarantee that you’re protected for more than a few hours after application, but some products prove to be more makeup-friendly than others. Sunforgettable by Clarion mineral powders ($63, through physicians and medi-spas across Canada) allow you to load up on UVA and UVB protection without having to tamper with your makeup, since you can apply it directly overtop.

Afternoon beauty fix / Go poolside with freshly coloured hair:



Tie your hair in a high pony or top bun and spray with L’Oréal Paris Hair Expertise Colour Radiance Spray ($7, at drugstores). Not only does it protect against harmful UV rays but it also keeps annoying fly-aways off your face

Afternoon beauty fix / Hide chipped nails with this brilliant new texture coat:



Nicole by OPI’s Texture Coat ($11, at drugstores) is a line of six polishes that dry artfully  think shatters and splatters in charming shades like gold, turquoise and white. Do a three-minute mani with one of these to mend your botched manicure and forget about chips for a few days.

Afternoon beauty fix / Salvage cottage-burned skin fast:



Most importantly, you need a product that is gentle on sensitive skin and will protect you from further UV damage. Avène Couvrance Compact Foundation Cream ($31 at drug stores) has SPF 30, is gentle and preservative free, but will also make sure your red nose goes unnoticed thanks to a pigment percentage of over 40%.
