Skincare Routine for Summer

The following are some of the best tips and tricks to follow in summer to keep your skin glowing and healthy.

1. Sunscreen is a must. But which one and how much to use?

Sunscreen is the most important step in your summer skincare routine. Prioritize the use of sunscreen as it shields your skin from the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays, which can lead to skin damage, premature ageing, and even skin cancer. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, including cloudy days, and remember to re-apply it every 4 hours.

2. Moisturizing is a must

Many feel that moisturizing is only essential in summer and not winter. But this is a misconception among people. Moisturizing is equally important in winter as well. It is advised to opt for a lightweight moisturizer. Due to the heat and humidity, your skin may feel oilier than usual. Combat this by switching to a lightweight moisturizer that won’t clog your pores or feel heavy on your skin.

3. Regular Exfoliation is the key to fresh skin

Exfoliating regularly can eliminate dead skin cells and promote a fresh and smooth complexion. However, be cautious not to overdo it, as excessive exfoliation can irritate your skin. Aim to exfoliate gently once or twice a week using a mild scrub or chemical exfoliant. If you have sensitive skin, either avoid exfoliation or consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

4. Use lip balm: Your lips need protection too

Don’t forget that your lips are also susceptible to sun damage. Apply a lip balm with SPF to protect them from harmful UV rays. Additionally, consider using a lip scrub to keep your lips smooth and hydrated.

5. Cover up during those extra sunny days

In addition to sunscreen, you can provide further protection to your skin by covering up. Wear clothing that covers your arms and legs, and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat or using an umbrella to shade your face and neck.

6. Sunglasses up your fashion game and skin health

Safeguard your eyes and the delicate skin around them by wearing sunglasses that block at least 99% of UV rays. Look for sunglasses with wraparound frames for enhanced side protection. If you wear prescription glasses, consult your eye doctor about obtaining prescription sunglasses or adding UV protection to your regular glasses.

7. Your skin needs hydration externally and internally

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Hydration from within is the key to healthy skin. Drinking an ample amount of water is crucial for overall health, particularly during the hotter summer months. Staying hydrated helps keep your skin moisturized and prevents dry and flaky skin. Aim to consume at least eight glasses of water (around 200-250 ml per glass) daily, and consider carrying a water bottle with you to stay hydrated on the go.

8. What to do after a day out in the sun?

Despite taking precautions, your skin may still be exposed to the sun’s harmful rays. After spending time in the sun, it’s important to care for your skin by applying moisturizer or aloevera gel to soothe any sunburned areas. Additionally, using a gentle exfoliating scrub can eliminate dead skin cells and maintain a healthy and rejuvenated appearance.
