The sun is at its scorching best which
means your skin could be at its worst if you don't take good care of it.
10 Skincare tips for the summer
1. Stay hydrated – Drink ample fluids as your body tends to
lose moisture in summer. Carry water wherever you can, it keeps your skin moisturised and
also cleanses your body to give it a natural glow.
2. Sun Protection – Scientists say skin exposure for over 60
seconds can harm your skin. Sunscreen is a must whenever you step out. Apply
sunscreen 20-30 minutes before stepping out. For Indian skin types SPF 30 or
above is advised according to the skin type. Avoid going out between 11 am to 3
pm as the UV rays are strongest at this time. See more : http://www.clinicdermatech.com/skin-care.html
3. Moisturize – Go for a water-based moisturiser if you find
your skin becoming too oily in summers but do not ditch the habit of everyday moisturizing.
4. Toning – It is important to keep the skin pores closed as
they tend to open due to sweating. Or use Rose water instead as it has natural
cooling properties.
5. Exfoliate – Summers are when you just can not miss
exfoliating. It removes dead skin and improves blood circulation to the face. Do
it 2-3 times a week. Buy a scrub that suits your skin type and texture the
best.
6. Cool your skin – Home made face packs made with ingredients
like cucumber, Fuller's earth (multani mitti), papaya, lemon etc work
wonders for the skin.
Bonus tip. Eat healthy, exercise and sleep well!
