Throw your hair into a bun and just use moisturizer, eyebrows & eyelashes. That way your face doesn't melt and your hair doesn't go wild

You rope that hair up into a messy bun and leave one loose tendril. Then you wear moisture wicking clothes.

White linen (loosely fitting), hair in a chignon, and a gin tonic under an umbrella by the pool (served by your butler). All you have to do is sip and sigh. I don't have clue. I hate those images of women who don't sweat and look cool and dry all the time.
