Summer is a difficult and trying time for your skin. Increase in temperatures throughout the mid-year months, along with humidity and heat, can build the action of the sebaceous glands. This makes oily skin seem oilier and dry skin appears to be rough and unpleasant. The intensity of the sun's rays causes tanning by producing more melanin pigments. The heat can likewise open pores, which can get obstructed with oil and dirt, causing skin break out, pimples, and blemishes on the face. Contamination and other environmental pollutants remove your skin's regular radiance, leaving it oily, dull, and blemished. While the blazing sun and the burning heat can be unforgiving, especially to your skin, read on to see how you can hold on to that healthy and sound skin in during a sunny season.
1. Inclusion of antioxidants in your daily routine
Invest in products which are laden with antioxidants. Not only these products hydrate your skin, it acts as a shield against environmental damage. It assists with boosting collagen creation and protects the skin against free radicals. You are advised to include antioxidants in your eating regimen too. Don’t forget to stock up on citrus fruits, green and leafy vegetables, green tea, nuts and whole grains to have youthful skin.
2. Keep your skin hydrated
Summer calls for both moisture and hydration for your skin. Therefore, spend time with products and natural ingredients that can provide required amounts of hydration to your skin. This can include a well-hydrating mask to make you and your skin refreshed or drinking lots of water in intervals throughout the day. Trust us on this part, water is definitely the biggest secret to a healthier skin.
3. Befriend sunscreen
Although taking the necessary sun protection measures should be the topmost priority year-round, sunscreen must be your closest companion during summers. Pick one that has a broader spectrum and solves multiple problems, between 30-50 SPF and covers UVA and UVB rays. Not just while stepping out, make it a religion to reapply it every 3 hours. Make sure to cover your hands, feet, shoulders, and neck also.
4. Switch to a refreshing toner
A good toner helps you close open pores and prevents oil accumulation in them. The t-zone of the face has the biggest grouping of sebaceous organs and hence look the oiliest during summers. Focus the most on this zone while conditioning your face. Utilize a cucumber or aloe vera based toner which is light and reviving.
5. Switch to a light-weight moisturizer
Summer season calls for dumping those hefty cold creams and shea butter rich lotions for a lighter and water-based lotion. Try not to be under the misconception that your skin requires no moisture in the summers even if your skin is oily as your skin is being constantly attacked by oily, free radicals and pollutants. Healthy skin in summer requires a lighter and non-oily item that suits the climate and keeps your skin refreshed, oil-free and healthy.
