Steps to keep the skin glowing and blemish free during summer and skincare-tips-for-this-summer.
In just a few winks, the temperature has soared and the sun has already started scorching us. And along with the unforgiving heat, our skin too would be subjected to brutal attacks which are unique to this season. During this season especially, because of rising temperatures, the humidity and heat increases the activity of the sebaceous glands. These make dry skin appear patchy & dull and oily skins oilier.
The harshness of the sun’s rays also causes tanning by building more melanin pigments. While, melanin is the pigment that determines the colour of the skin and helps to gain vitamin D which is good for the skin health, too much exposure to the sun results in overproduction of melanin, which in turn could lead to dark spots and patches on the skin. The summer heat also causes more pores to open, which gets clogged with dirt and oil causing skin problems like pimples, acne and other blemishes on the face.
There are certain steps one should follow during summer to keep the skin glowing and blemish free:
1.Keep the skin hydrated: Summer is the time when the skin needs moisture and it is our duty to keep it hydrated. It is also very important to choose the right kind of hydrating serum during summer which will hydrate your skin and make it radiant. People with sensitive skin should consult dermatologist and use dermatologically tested products which are mild and Sulphur free.
2.Cut down on makeup : Summer is the time when you should ease up on the makeup and go all natural. Too much of makeup clogs pours and leaves he skin dull. Humidity and heat vanquishes the skin’s ability to breathe. To go all natural, the skin should look beautiful and lively from within. Keeping in mind the busy schedule, it gets very difficult to follow strict skincare rituals. Everyone is running and we tend to forget things. We neglect ourselves and take unnecessary stress which affects our skin health. Nutraceuticals plays a very important role in the health of skin, particularly in terms of pigmentation and blemishes.
3.Consumption of Vitamin C: The much revered lifestyle antioxidant and skin rejuvenating properties of Vitamin C are well known. Your skin is always busy fighting with the enormous quantities of free radicals produced by virtue of biological reactions and critically because of external insults such as UV radiations, pollution, and chemicals. This free radical overload (FRO) interferes in the cellular metabolism as well as leads to collagen degradation and melanin over production. Balancing this FRO is important to ensure health of the skin and also to prevent the loss of collagen. Vitamin C intake in natural form like “aamla” extracts, help protect your natural beauty by reducing melanin pigment, increasing production and transfer of anti-ageing protein, exerts photo-protective effects by neutralizing free radicals and helps boost collagen.
6 essential skincare tips for this summer:
1.Wear sunscreen: Sunscreens are your best friend this summer. Choose that has a broad 30-50 SPF and covers UVA & UVB rays.
2.Cut down on makeup: Avoid using anything heavy on the face. Use a tinted moisturiser, tinted lip balm and organic kohl this summer.
3.Drink plenty of water: Water is the most important ingredient. It keeps your skin, supple, soft and radiant. Water will also flush away toxins.
4.Regular cleansing of skin: Slough off dead skin with a loofah and regularly clean your skin. Dryness due to heat, makes dust settle on to your skin. Therefore regular washing with mild cleansers are best during the season
5.Eat right: Stimulate your complexion’s collagen growth with food rich in anti-oxidants. Include leafy vegetables, blueberries, melons, in your diet.
It is very important to keep our skin look healthy as it not only makes us beautiful but confident.Apart from wellness and beauty, nutraceuticals have also been found to address issues related to certain skin conditions, like acne and fungal infections as well. Leveraging natural compounds or solutions which tap into the intrinsic intelligence of the body are slowly emerging as trusted alternatives, thereby making us more aware and a believer of beauty from within!
