Hayley insists everyone should wear SPF daily to protect themselves from UV rays, whatever the weather.
And your secret hack? Wait at least 15 minutes for the product to absorb into the skin before applying makeup.

She said: “A step in the makeup routine that often goes unnoticed on those busy work days, however, this step is crucial to ensuring your makeup withstands the heat and lasts all day.
“The Primer creates a smooth surface for makeup to adhere to, as well as offering that extra dose of hydration, essential to ensure your look stays put.”
Less is more

Waterproofing
Hayley revealed: “It can be tough outside in the heat, so switching to waterproof products can help stop your makeup from sweating throughout the day.

Gunpowder power
Hayley says: “Certain parts of the face are more likely to shine when dealing with heat, so apply translucent powder to areas like the T-zone to keep your complexion looking fresh.
“Remember, don’t use too much powder as it can look cakey in the heat and make sure to replenish these areas throughout the day.”
Lock it up
Hayley encourages beauty fans to “fix your look” with a good setting spray.
She said: “The spray setting prevents makeup from smudging and melting in hot weather.
“Then, once you’re happy with your look, apply a few sprays to make your makeup smudge-proof.
“You can also use a setting spray to refresh your makeup throughout the day.”
Smudge until you fall
“If you find oily areas throughout the day, make sure you have pads on hand to help remove excess oil and keep your makeup from sliding off,” insisted Hayley.
Stay protected from the sun
And finally, SPF is a must.
Hayley said: “In warmer weather you should reapply your SPF throughout the day, but using a cream will end up messing with your makeup look.
“Many brands now offer sprays or roll-ons with SPF for your face to help you top up your sunscreen on the go without messing up your makeup.”
