Nourish Your Skin In Summer

Summer is the season when we have to take special care of our body and skin. We are really surprised to see our dull, blemished and oily skin which looked radiant throughout winter. Because in winter the natural oil of our skin becomes solidified and in summer it flows freely. In summer long and short UV Rays penetrates the deepest layer of our skin and damage the collagen and skin loses its firmness, elasticity and softness. The fair skin wrinkles more quickly than dark skin because it has more pigment. Whereas dark skin has less pigment which acts as natural sunscreen, blocking the harmful UV rays.

To prevent wrinkles and UV rays stay out of sun especially between 10am to 4pm, when it is almost directly overhead and UV radiation is strongest. Stay under shade as much as you can. Use umbrella when you go out. Wear light, cotton, comfortable cloths and your dress should be protective like full sleeves and covering maximum portion of the body. Sunscreen should be used year around and your sunscreen should be proper SPF balanced. Reapply the sunscreen every two hours interval. Wear proper sunglasses and hat with a broad brim.
Moisturisation is the most important part of daily skin care.Our skin needs plenty of water and moisturizer in summer , because we lose most of our body salts by sweating. Buy a water based moisturizer and use it regularly. Make it a habit to wash your face gently with water a number of times in a day . Don’t use very hot or too cold water for face, use normal water and then pat dry and again moisturize.
