4: Conclusions

Skin care is as important as skin care during the summer season, the same caution and understanding also asks for. As the temperature rises, both external and internal effects appear to appear on our skin. Hot winds, strong sunlight, humidity and sweat not only affect the surface of the skin but can also damage to the depth of the skin. This is the reason why everyone should take care of their skin according to summer. Whether your skin is oily, dry, mixed or sensitive, it becomes very important to change the skincare routine in summer.

First of all, let’s talk about why the skin requires special care in summer. Sun’s UV rays damage skin cells, causing problems such as freckles, wrinkles, blackness and sometimes skin cancer. In addition, due to sweat, bacteria and dirt accumulate on the skin, causing pimples and rash. Skin irritation and redness also become common symptoms. If these problems are not taken care of in time, then the natural glow of the skin gradually ends.

The first and essential rule of skin care in summer is to keep the skin clean and hydrated. The face should be washed with oil-free face wash at least three times a day so that excess oil and dirt can be removed. After this, pores can be tightened with rose water like toner. Moisturizer is also necessary in summer-but it should be selected with light and water-based products so that the skin remains glowing and does not appear sticky. After this comes sunscreen – This is the hero product of summer skin care. Broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 should be applied and re -apply every 2–3 hours.

Now talk about home remedies, so natural facepacks are the most effective for cooling and nourishing the skin in summer. A mixture of cucumber and rose water cools the skin and removes tanning. Facepacks made of tomato and gram flour are effective in removing tan, while lemon and honey wipe the facial spots and brings glow. Aloe vera gel is like a panacea for summer skin care – it cools the skin, reduces pimples and relieves irritation.

Skin care is not limited to external products only – it is also directly related to your diet. If you drink less water throughout the day, or eat too much fried, spicy and sweet foods, then its effect will appear directly on your skin. In summer, the intake of fruits and vegetables should be increased to make the skin shiny from inside. Such as watermelon, orange, melon, kiwi, cucumber, tomato, green leafy vegetables, coconut water, lemonade and vine syrup. They all detox the skin from inside, maintain moisture in the body and balance the natural moisture of the skin.

As far as skin care routine is concerned, the day should be started with facewash, toner, light moisturizer and sunscreen, while double cleansing is necessary to remove makeup and dirt at night. After this, the skin can be repaired with vitamin C or hyaluronic acid serum and nourish it with night cream. If there are dark circles under the eyes, light eye cream can also be applied.

In summer, some special precautions should be taken care of about skin care-such as never out of sunscreen, drink at least 2-3 liters of water a day, avoid scrubbing too much, use umbrella or scarf before going out in the sun, clean the face before going to bed at night and low in the weekApply clay face mask less once that open skin pores.
