10 Essential Skin Care Tips for the Summer Months

Producer: Priyanka Das Editor: Nisha Dubey

Wear sunscreen: This is a must, not just during summer but all year round. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every 2 hours.

Hydrate: Staying hydrated during summer is very important as high temperatures and increased sweating can lead to dehydration. Drink plenty of water and eat water-rich food to keep your skin healthy and glowy.

Use a lightweight moisturizer: Look for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that will keep your skin hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy.

Exfoliate: Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells. However, don’t overdo it as over-exfoliating can lead to dryness and irritation.

Use a face mask: Incorporate a hydrating face mask into your weekly skincare routine to nourish and revitalize your skin.

Avoid hot showers: Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Stick to lukewarm water instead.

Protect your lips: Use a lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from the sun’s harmful rays.

Choose light makeup: Heavy makeup can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Opt for lightweight, oil-free makeup or skip it altogether.

Don’t forget your eyes: Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays, and use a lightweight eye cream to keep the delicate skin around your eyes hydrated.

Stay out of the sun during peak hours: The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm, so try to avoid being outside during these hours if possible.
