👉As the scorching summer rolls around, our skin begins to experience changes. Isn’t it? With excessive heat and humidity all day, your skin starts screaming for more protection - from exhibiting those annoying rashes and sunburns to the stubborn tan and acne.
🍧So it’s essential that you up your skincare game right away to stay away from unwanted summer skin issues. Let’s see how.
𝟏. 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐎𝐢𝐥
In summer, oily skin can get more oily. Use a face wash suited to your skin type that can deep cleanse and remove all the dirt and grime. People with dry skin would need a non-foaming cleanser. Opt for mild, alcohol-free and pH balanced cleansers.
𝟐. 𝐎𝐩𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐀 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞
Maintain a skin care regimen and follow it religiously. Choose gel-based (for dry skin) and water based (for oily skin) rather than cream-based products as the former are lighter and non-greasy. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing twice a day will help keep your skin clean and fresh.
𝟑. 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐦𝐞
Antioxidant serums work wonders to hydrate your skin. Besides, they protect your skin from environmental damage, help to boost collagen, and scavenge free radicals to prevent damage to skin. Include a good antioxidant serum in your summer skincare routine. Alternatively, you can add it to your diet by stocking up on citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, green tea, etc.
𝟒. 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝
Hydration is key at all times during summer. You can use a hydrating face mask after you wash your face at night for some extra hydration while you sleep. Splash your face frequently with water or carry a facial mist to freshen your skin at regular intervals.
𝟓. 𝐄𝐱𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧
Use a face scrub at least twice a week to remove excess dirt and oil from the skin. Only, remember to use a scrub suitable for your skin type and massage the scrub gently in a circular motion. Make sure you exfoliate the lips and the neck too.
𝟔. 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧
The sun’s UV-A and UV-B rays can be very harsh. Besides giving you a stubborn tan, they can cause premature aging, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. A good sunscreen with SPF 30-50 is vital for the summer months for all skin types, even if you stay indoors most of the time. If you go swimming, we suggest you apply sunscreen multiple times.
𝟕. 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐮𝐩
Heavy makeup prevents the skin from breathing. Humidity and heat also impact the skin’s ability to breathe. Instead of heavy foundation and other cosmetics, you could consider using a tinted lip balm and a tinted moisturiser if you need to wear some makeup.
𝟖. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐀 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫
A good toner can be effective in closing open pores. The maximum number of sebaceous glands are found on the T-zone of the face. To prevent sweat and oil from clogging these pores, use an aloe vera or cucumber-based toner as they are lighter.
𝟗. 𝐌𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥
A moisturizer is vital to protect your skin in summer. You can choose a non-greasy formula based on your skin type. But look for ingredients like antioxidants like vitamins A and C. If it has SPF, even better. It is best to apply a moisturizer immediately after your bath.
𝟏𝟎. 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬, 𝐋𝐢𝐩𝐬 & 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐭
Always wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. Use a moisturizing under eye gel; and a lip balm with SPF under your lipstick. Scrub your feet to exfoliate. Apply sunscreen and moisturizer on your feet too, especially if you are wearing open-toed sandals.
