The Summer Survival Kit: 7 Things That Will Save You In This Stinking Hot Humidity

It’s like walking out into a sauna these days, with the humidity at a high, the sun blazing down and it just won’t quit. 

But fear not friends! There are little bits and pieces you can use to make life just that bit easier and keep you coooooool. 

1. Instashop app

This app is a proper gem, you will never have to leave the house again. Get your water, cat food, toilet paper and basically anything you could need so you can stay out of the supermarket and outta the sun. Yes.

2. Primer 

One for the girls, it’s a must-have to keep your makeup in check and stop it from melting off your face. 

Kat Von Dee has also released a makeup setting spray that is oh so handy and will keep your foundation on your face. Bliss. 

3. Uber/Careem 

Don’t burn to death out on the street trying to hail a cab – order it and that way you will never have to wait outside again. 

4. Coconut water

Prevent dehydration with some quality electrolytes. Coconut water is some of the most hydrating drink you can get. Keep yourself hydrated and healthy with a drink of the stuff.

5. A hydroflask 

These brilliant bottles keep water cold for days. The bottles are handy to keep your water super cold – even when it’s sitting in the hot car. The dream!

6. Sunscreen 

The all important sun protector – not just for the palest of us. Sun damage is the number one cause of wrinkles and skin damage so make sure you cover up!

7. An abaya for the ladies (or kandoura for the men)

There’s a reason this attire is designed the way it is. Cover up and keep comfortable with traditional dress. The flowing fabrics and light materials mean you can keep coooool without having to dress down.
