Summer is a time when people head outdoors and enjoy the lake or beach, pool parties, sports, vacations, and other outdoor activities. However, it’s also a time when many of us tend to neglect our skin care. According to research, approximately 80% of skin aging (including wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, dry skin, etc.) is caused by the sun’s UV rays. So maintain a healthy summer skincare routine that nourishes and protects your skin from the sun.
Different skin types have different characteristics and require specific care, so identifying your skin type and its specific needs is important to ensure optimum protection and care during the summer months.
Looks flaky, tighter and causes wrinkles and fine lines. It needs intense hydration and long-lasting moisturization to combat them.
Has enlarged, often clogged pores and is susceptible to frequent breakouts. It needs gentle exfoliators or anti-bacterial products to control oil production and get rid of dirt in the pores.
Remains red, itchy, or irritated, resulting in dryness and burning. Using non-sensitive and non-allergic skincare products helps maintain skin tone and texture.
Has the perfect balance between dryness and oiliness, neither causing more breakouts nor feeling tighter. It needs an exfoliator and moisturizing cream to nourish the skin.
Looks dry around your cheeks and oily in your t-zone. You must use products that keep your skin hydrated while preventing excess sebum production.
You can effortlessly combat summer skin concerns and enjoy healthy, glowing skin with the following tips:
It allows your skin to retain moisture and helps flush out toxins from the body, reducing skin-related issues such as acne and dullness.
Sunscreen (with SPF 30 and broad spectrum protection) protects your skin from UV rays, preventing premature aging and sunburns and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
A moisturizer keeps your skin supple and prevents dryness and flakiness. Also, it protects your skin from pollution and UV rays, reducing skin aging and damage.
Light makeup during summer allows the skin to breathe and prevents the clogging of pores. It also promotes a natural, healthy appearance.
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates a vibrant complexion. However, ensure not to exfoliate if you have sunburn.
Using a homemade mask like a clay mask, Aloe-Vera, and much more is always a wise choice, particularly during the summer season. It serves as an effective measure to protect your skin in a natural way.
Wearing UV-400 sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, and dark-colored, loose clothes can act as barriers against harmful rays, maintaining the health and vitality of your skin.
The summer heat can tempt you to wash your face frequently, but doing so can dehydrate the outermost layer of the skin. So, wash your face only two-three times a day.
A gentle facial massage after your bedtime can increase blood circulation, providing your skin with a natural glow.
Using serums with antioxidants can keep your skin hydrated and increase collagen production while protecting it from environmental damage.
