While we all like to soak up the summer sun, too much sun, heat, and humidity can harm your skin and hair. But as the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure. To keep a glowing and healthy appearance over the summer, use these natural skincare treatments.
What Happens to Skin in Summer?
High levels of summer heat and humidity can stimulate the skin's oil glands, resulting in an overproduction of oil. Thinner, oily skin can trap dirt and pollutants, potentially causing acne and pimples. Additionally, intense sun exposure can lead to skin tanning and an increase in melanin production, diminishing your natural radiance. Prolonged sun exposure can also result in patchy, lackluster skin, giving it an uneven and dull appearance.
Skin Care Tips for Summer
Exfoliate: As mentioned, summers can lead to very oily and dull skin. Proper skin care begins with good exfoliation.
Use gentle exfoliators like nutmeg or rose petals to keep the skin healthy and glowing. moha:herbal scrub can be useful for gentle exfoliation. Depending on your skin type you may exfoliate more than once per week.
Cleanse: Natural cleansing soaps are useful in summer as they not only clean but also maintain the moisture content of the skin.
moha: rose and almond soap cleanses and keeps the skin feeling fresh, and healthy and keeps it free from infections.
Hydrate: Hydrate yourself by drinking plenty of fluids internally. Eat juicy fruits and top up with buttermilk or lassi to keep the gut happy too. Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated externally by applying good quality natural moisturizer like moha: moisturizing lotion, rich with aloe and almond oil. Aloe not only hydrates but also removes tan and keeps the skin soft and supple.
Protect from the sun: Never step out without sunscreen. Sunscreens with SPF 30-50 are ideally suited for Indian skin and summers. Keep away the tan with moha: sunscreen lotion is suitable for all skin types to keep away sun damage and signs of
aging. Apply sunscreen to all the exposed skin of your body including your feet and hands.
Use minimal makeup: Greasy, heavy makeup will create chaos and look messy in summer. Instead, keep it to a minimum and let the skin breathe in the summer. Use a refreshing mist: Rose water is refreshing to the skin and can be used 3-4 times a day for that refreshed glowing skin.
Eat healthily: As much as external application, internal nourishment also plays a role in skincare. Keep your food healthy, easy to digest and gut-friendly. Avoid excess salt, sugar and maida to stay healthy and keep looking young.
Avoid getting exhausted: Working out too much or overexertion leads to dehydration causing damage to the skin. Stick to simple exercises indoors and try to avoid stepping out to exercise and the sun may damage the skin
Rest well: Beauty sleep is not a myth, it is much needed. Skin repairs itself as we sleep. So if you want youthful glowing skin, sleep well for 6- 8 hours daily.
