summer skin care
TRANSCRIPT
Sunscreen is a must during summers. Apply a sunscreen with an SPF
15 or higher to protect skin from harmful rays. Apply sunscreen atleast
30 minutes before you step out.
Most IMPORTANT
Sunscreen has to be applied above the moisturiser & below the make up
Deep Conditioning
Try to wash your hair atleast four times in a week as it is very
important to wash away the sweat and grime that is easily accumulated
during the summers. Also, avoid blow drying your hair as the sun gives
you enough heat already.
Lip Care
Dab Vaseline on your lips in winter ? - Yes You do….Well, you need to do so
in summer as well!.... Ignoring the lips, results in them lips turning
dry and chapped. Apply a little sunscreen on your lips as well, before
stepping out.
Before going to bed , rub a few drops of pure almond oil on your lips.
This will ensure that your lips look soft & pink.
Cucumber Cool…
Feeling hot hot hot? Your skin needs to cool down. Run a small peeled
cucumber & 4-5 almonds through a blender. Add some cold milk to the
paste. Apply it on your face & voila! Say hello to super soft skin
with all the internal heat soaked up !
Body Scrub
Cleansing your skin is very important in summers. Scrub & Exfoliate
your face atleast twice a week to keep it looking fresh.
De -Tan
Bleaching is a good option to de-tan . But if you hate getting your face
bleached, try this homemade pack instead to lighten summer tan. Blend
some curd into gram flour (besan) till it forms a smooth paste. Squeeze
half a lemon into it (citrus fruits have a natural bleaching effect).
Experience, a happy glowing skin, minus those appointments & waiting
hours in your parlour!
Make - Up Tips
Try to avoid foundation as much as possible, as they can be harsh on
your skin during summers! If you are experiencing an outburst of acne
on your skin right now, foundation could be your culprit! Do not forget
to apply moisturiser on your skin, no matter what skin type you
possess, as moisturisers act as a gentle layer between your skin & the
summer dust.
Sun Burn Tips
So you went out without a sun screen & now your skin burns like hell, does it?
Apply Aloe Vera extract or lotions containing Aloe Vera to the sun burnt area
Aloe Vera soothes your skin and helps the sun burnt area to heal faster
Summer accessories
Fun in the sun, that’s what summer’s all about! So get funky and look stylish as
you step out in the sun. A nice straw hat and cool shades accessorized with your
cute little summer dress will work wonders!
Elixir of Life
Last but definitely not the least, have plenty of water!
Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go. It will be best if you
can add glucose powder to it as summer often makes you dehydrate
quickly which results in fatigue. Beat the heat by drinking as much
water as you can.
