Beat the heat with quality skin care!




After the blossoming spring, its time for the mercury to rise high. The Summer season is here to stay! As you continue to battle with the scorching heat, here are few essential tips to have a fresh and glowing summer skin:

1. Keep close to water- It is important to keep yourself regularly hydrated. The summer sun tends to evaporate much moisture from the skin, hence you must drink a lot of water and other liquids to keep your skin soft and moisturized in the heat.  

2. Use sunscreen- The summer sun rays can be harsh on your skin. Avoid stepping out between 11am and 3 pm. Also, applying sun protection is mandatory! Make sure you use enough sunscreen on your body before stepping out in summers. It keeps your skin well protected.

3.  Moisturize- Firstly, get over the myth that moisturizers can make your skin oily in summers. Moisturizing should be an important exercise for the summer season as well. It keeps your skin hydrated. However, to avoid stickiness you can go for water-based moisturizers instead of oil-based ones. 

4. Cleansing- Do remove all that dirt, dust and sweat from your skin regularly. Wash your face with a quality face wash atleast twice a day during summers. 

5.    Exfoliate- It is essential to remove off the dead skin during summers to better blood circulation. Choose from any of the cosmetic scrubs available in the market or make one at home.

Follow the above mentioned techniques to take care of your summer skin and let it shine with a distinguished glow!
