Summer is here, and it's time to bask in the sun and enjoy the warm weather. But, as much as we all love summer, it can wreak havoc on our skin. The summer heat can cause excessive sweating, sunburn, and dehydration, leading to dry and dull skin. But don't worry; extra care and attention will help keep your skin glowing and healthy all summer.
Here are some tips for your Summer Skin Survival Guide.
Hydrate like a Pro
First things first. This summer, let's focus on staying hydrated most of the time by drinking enough water, at least 8-10 glasses daily. Water is a crucial element in maintaining healthy skin and preventing skin dryness for you. Drink every day to control the heat and humidity. It's also best to avoid certain foods that can cause excessive sweating and dehydrate you and your skin.
Water rich-foods like Oranges, cucumbers, and watermelon can be your savior during times when just water doesn't help you quench your excess thirst. These are the most underrated.
Protect Your Skin
Sun protection is crucial during the summer months. Don't let those harmful UV rays cause you sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Wear sunscreen with a minimum of 30+SPF and reapply every two hours if you spend time outside. Protective clothing like a hat, lightweight long-sleeved shirt, and sunglasses can help you protect your skin from the sun.
Cleanse and Exfoliate
Our skin is exposed to sweat, dirt, and pollution during summer. It is essential to cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove all the impurities. Use a mild cleanser for your face twice daily in the morning and night so your skin remains clean and healthy all day.
Remove the dead skin cells and promote cell turnover by exfoliating your skin once or twice a week to unclog pores and prevent breakouts. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub to keep your skin looking fresh and radiant.
Don't forget to Moisturize
Keep your skin moisturized using a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that suits your skin to hydrate without clogging pores. Your lips are just as important as the rest of your skin since the sun and wind can cause dryness and chapping, leading to cracked and painful lips. Use an SPF lip balm to moisturize and protect your lips from the sun's rays.
It's always recommended to consult your Dermatologist before investing in those skincare products. Using products that suit your skin would prevent unnecessary damage to your skin.
Take Care of Your Scalp
Scalp protection is often overlooked most of the time. Constant sweating during summer can cause itching and dandruff, affecting your scalp and mood. To avoid this:
Keep them clean by washing your hair at least twice or thrice a week with a mild shampoo and moisturizing conditioner.
Do not use hot water or excessive hairstyling products that may dehydrate your scalp this summer.
Keep them moisturized with hair oil or serum.
Summer shouldn't prevent you from enjoying your time outdoors; taking care of your skin is also essential. Avoid outdoor activities at peak times of the day or in the afternoons as much as possible. Following these tips for your Summer Skin Survival Guide will help keep your skin healthy and glowing all summer.
If you face any persistent skin issues even after these self-care practices, visit your Dermatologist, and seek the proper medical attention as and when needed.
