Skincare Tips for Summer

Summer is a tough time for your skin if it is not care appropriately. While it is an amazing time to travel it is also the season of the year in which the skin becomes very sensitive due to the weather changes. Increase in temperatures during the summer months, combined with humidity and heat, can increase the activity of the sebaceous glands. This makes oily skins appear oilier and dry skins appear rough and patchy. The intensity of the sun’s rays also causes tanning by producing more melanin pigments. The heat can also cause more pores to open, which can get clogged with dirt and oil, trapping bacteria, causing acne, pimples, and blemishes on the face.

How to Take Care of Your Skin in the Summer Season?

1. Consider a Change When It Comes to Your Face Wash

In summer, you require a face wash that can draw out the excess oil from your skin. If you have dry skin, consider using a non-foaming cleanser. This would be ideal for combination skin as well. Wash your face plenty of times during the day to keep your skin clean and refreshed.

2. Include Antioxidants in Your Facial Skin Care Routine

Invest in a good antioxidant serum during the summer. Not only does an antioxidant serum hydrate your skin, but it can also protect your skin from environmental damage. It helps to boost collagen production, and will scavenge harmful free radicals to prevent skin damage

3. Keep Your Skin Hydrated

Remember that summer is the time when your skin requires moisture as well as hydration. Invest in a good hydrating mask which you use a couple of times a week. Wash your face first and apply the mask as directed at night to repair, rehydrate, and soothe your skin.

4. Exfoliate Regularly for Smoother Skin

Exfoliation is the key to brighter and smoother skin. It removed dulling skin debris and piled up dead cells, Remember that exfoliation is required for your entire body and not just your face. You should, however, make sure to be gentle while exfoliating your skin.

5. Wear Sunscreen

Sunscreen should be your best friend during summers. Choose one that has a broad ultraviolet spectrum (between 30-50 SPF and covers UVA and UVB rays). Reapply every three hours if you are spending all day in the sun.

6. Cut Down on Makeup

Summer means that you should ease up on the makeup. Wear minimal facial makeup to allow the skin to breathe better.

7. Use a Refreshing Toner

Using a good toner can help you close open pores. The t-zone of the face has the largest concentration of sebaceous glands and will tend to look the slickest in the summer months. Pay attention to this zone while toning your face.

8. Change Your Moisturizer

Skin care in summer calls for a lighter and non-greasy product that suits the weather.

9. Drink Plenty of Water

Remember to carry water anywhere you go and drink a minimum of 2-3 litres in a day. Water is also very crucial to flush the toxins out from the skin through sweat and urine..

10. Take Special Care of the Eye Region

Pick a good undereye gel that has hyaluronic acid, cucumber, or even honey. These ingredients keep the skin around the eyes hydrated and prevent wrinkle formation.
