Essential Skincare Habits During The Summer

Sweat dripping, water sipping, whilst walking and slowly crossing. Does this give you the classic summer vibe?

The onset of the Summer season begins in India at the end of February or the beginning of March in most states. Mangoes, melons, and citrus fruits are eaten and applied as face masks along with other ingredients.

Pimples, acne, tanning, heat boils, and oily skin, are the usual problems faced among many others. Extreme weather conditions, demand our bodies to adjust to it. For seasons like this, skincare becomes essential.

The Three Essentials :

We don’t claim that these are the only five habits you should follow. We suggest and give our audience the freedom of choice. Depending upon the situation and heat level in your region, you can add on or do away with a few habits.

1. Hydrate Yourself - As much as we know we should drink two to three litres of water a day, we usually don’t follow it.

Along with hydrating your skin, hydrating your body is highly recommended. Drinking an ample amount of water throughout the day helps maintain skin hydration levels while also preventing dryness and boils/pimples that might appear on the skin due to the heat.

Celebrities have credited their flawless skin to water consumption. Rethinking your water consumption levels throughout the day? I’d say it’s best to keep a one-litre bottle around you all the time!

2. Diet - “The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in”, said B.K.S Iyengar. Wouldn’t you rightly agree with that?

We are what we eat. Consuming junk food frequently can cause excessive oil secretion in your skin and stress eating can cause your Vitamin D levels to free fall. A diet rich in protein, vitamins, fats, iron, and other nutrients becomes the building blocks of healthy skin. Archenemies such as pigmentation levels, blackheads, acne, pimples, wrinkles, and oily texture of the skin can be controlled.

3. Apply sunscreen - During summers, our bodies are exposed to the sun more often than not. In such cases, tanning, flaky skin, and parched skin are common scenarios. Hence, being exposed to UV rays for prolonged hours can harm the skin.

It is advisable to use sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 25+. You can apply it as and when required throughout the day. If you like spending time outdoors and are planning on sunbathing after a swim, don’t forget to put on your sunscreen!
