Now that summer is here, it means heat, sweat, and getting all sticky and greasy. I know none of that is fun, you feel weird, irritated and if you are like me then you don't want to do anything but don't worry I'll fill you in with all the things you need to do this summer to feel a bit better even though summer is summer but something is better than nothing.
1. Sunscreen:
The most important
thing to do in summer wears sunscreen. Rays from sunlight have harmful UV
rays which damage your skin and cause skin cancer. Since these rays
are extra strong in summer it is crucial to wear sunscreen especially if you
are going out somewhere. Sunscreens labeled SPF-30, broad-spectrum, and lip protection are the best, and yes, lip
cancer can be caused due to UV rays.
2. Moisturizer:
Moisturizer is not
only effective in winters, but it is also important in summers. In summers you
should use a light moisturizer that feels light on your skin and is not greasy.
You can use a tinted moisturizer with SPF-30 like Elta MD or Colorescience which
can be applied on makeup.
3. Light make-up:
I know you guys love
makeup but in summer you should wear light makeup if you want your skin to
breathe. It's better to use a tinted moisturizer to give yourself that glow than
to use heavy makeup since you are going to sweat a lot and your makeup is
eventually going to fade away. Also, heavy makeup can clog your pores which can
lead to more problems.
4. Exfoliate:
Exfoliate your skin
once or twice a week to give your skin a natural glow since it removes dead cells
and open pores that have been clogged due to sweat and sunscreen. You should
use a scrub that goes well with your skin.
5. Antioxidant:
Antioxidants hydrate
your skin, improve the structure of collagen fibers and prevent damage due to
free radicals. Vitamin C serum works best as an antioxidant. You can also eat
citrus fruits since it also helps.
6. Hydrating skin:
You should keep your
skin hydrated because you sweat a lot in summer and it can lead to
dehydration. To do this you use a hydrating mask before you go to sleep. You
should drink lots of water, 1-2 liters is a must. You can hydrate yourself by
eating fruits that are rich in water like watermelons. Drinking juice and lemon
water is better than drinking coca-cola and Pepsi.
7. Toner:
8. Self-tanners:
Some people get more
tanned than getting sunburned, even if they think they can skip sunscreen they
shouldn't because tan is caused due to damage to the skin. So if you like tanning, you
can use self-tanners like"Jergens self-tanners".
9. Washing Face:
You should wash your face twice a day. For oily skin, the water-based cleanser is better and for dry skin non-foaming, one is better. You shouldn't wash your all the time as it will wash away the natural moisturizer your body makes due to which your skin becomes dry and flaky.
10. Skin care routine:
You should have a
summer skincare routine and you should follow it consistently. Go for gel-based or water-based products as they will be light on your skin and avoid any
heavy cream-based products.
11. Clothes:
In summer, I think
cotton clothes are the best as they are very light. Also wearing a wide-brimmed
hat and sunglasses also protect from UV radiation.
Conclusion:
In summer, it is best
to stick to a light makeup routine. Use sunscreen, and moisturizer, and avoid direct
sunlight. Wear light clothes and just take care of yourself and your body will
thank you for that and even you will feel better and will enjoy your summers.
Hope this helps you in some way.
