Summer Skin Care: Hot winds, sweating, dehydration, and heat leave no stone unturned to harm our skin during the summer season. Rashes, sunburn, tanning, acne, melasma, and the sun also cause many allergies in this season. In such a situation, we need to take special care of the skin in the hot months. So let's find out what kind of bad habits work to harm our skin in the low season.
Apply sunscreen only once
For years, experts have been advising people to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin from the damaging UV rays that cause sunburn, sun spots, and premature aging. Due to this the risk of skin cancer also increases.
Not using moisturizer
Many people also believe that moisturizers should not be applied in the summer season. While the truth is that whether your skin is oily or has acne problems, definitely apply moisturizer. This hydrates the skin and keeps it soft and supple. If your skin is very oily, then there can be a lack of moisture behind it. So wash your face twice a day with a cleanser and then use a moisturizer with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.
Avoid heavy makeup
If you are going out in the sun, don't wear too much makeup. This will not benefit the skin in any way, rather foundation, concealer and contour will block the pores. Use sunscreen and essential serum instead.
Not exfoliating
Our skin goes through a process in which dead skin cells are shed and new cells are formed. It is very important to remove dead skin cells, otherwise, the pores get clogged due to this. Before using salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and mandelic acid for exfoliation, take expert advice.
Not keeping yourself hydrated
Hydration is most important to keep the skin healthy in summer. Apart from using products for the skin, eat seasonal fruits and drink two to three liters of water a day. Apart from this, keep taking fluids to avoid heatwaves and stay away from tea, coffee, and cold drinks.
